Gandhi's visit to Switzerland
Gandhi visited Switzerland once in December 1931. At the invitation of the French writer and Nobel Prize winner for literature Romain Rolland, he spent a few days in Villeneuve before giving two speeches, the first on December 8th at the Maison du peuple in Lausanne and the second on December 10th at the Victoria Hall in Geneva.
Gandhi maintained very close personal relations with Switzerland throughout his life, which served as the basis for the Indian-Swiss friendship.
