By 1931 the British government realized that if they did
not release Gandi they could have a revolution on their hands.He was released
and very shortly came over the UK for the 'Round Table Talks' on the future
of India at St. James Palace.While he was over here he was invited to view
at first hand 'the misery and poverty' that the goverment of the day claimed
that Gandhi and his actions back home (inspiring Indians to handspin their
own cloth) was causing the people over here.He visted alot of the towns around
this part of Lancashire.He stayed for a few days at Heys Farm Guest house
in West Bradford in meditaion.While he stayed for the few days he was here
he walked around the local area and met local people.He commented how beautiful
he thought this part of the Ribble Valley was.In the end as much as he had
alot of sympathy for the people over here,he stated that conditons back in
India were alot worse than in the UK and so nothing was changed.
