When Kailash Satyarthi visited the Nobel Prize Museum in December 2014 and donated a costume, he also handed over a sheet of paper with a message:
I am TODAY
You are TODAY
Let us march from
apathy to compassion TOGETHER.
From here and NOW.
Kailash Satyarthi wore this garment to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 2014. It is a khadi kurta, a traditional shirt of hand-spun and hand-woven cotton fabric. Khadi was also the name of a movement that the Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi began in the 1920s and which campaigned for domestically-produced goods and reduced imports. When Kailash Satyarthi visited the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm a few days after the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony in Oslo, he donated his khadi to the museum.
