There are many leaders who are still remembered today who fought for the country's independence. No patriot can forget his sacrifice. One such person was President Mahatma Gandhi.

October 2 is celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti. But there are some truths in his life that few know. Yes, there was a time when Gandhi had to sell his autograph for 5,5 rupees.

Bapu had gathered people from all over the country for freedom struggle. Bapu walked the path of peace and non-violence and fought for freedom. When Mahatma Gandhi arrived to help the victims of Bhagalpur earthquake in Bihar in 1934, he still remembers seeing what happened and bowing down to him. After reaching here, Bapu took 5,5 rupees from those who asked for autographs from Bapu and collected the money to help the earthquake victims.

In Bihar, the Congress was conducting relief work for earthquake victims. They arrived there in April, May, to see them. During this tour, he reached Biharpur with sahasara and reached Bhagalpur.

In Bhagalpur, Bapu stayed at Deepnarayan Singh's house and addressed the people at Lajpat Park and appealed for help in relief work to help earthquake victims. Some people in this meeting wanted to get autographs from Bapu. Bapu had taken 5 rupees for his autogram for earthquake victims at that time.
