After over 21 years of stay in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India on January 9, 1915 , with his wife Kasturba. He had been in London the previous year to treat a severe bout of pleurisy, a lung inflammation. His doctors advised him to return to India to escape the English winter. A hero's welcome awaited Gandhi when he landed on January 9, 1915, at the Apollo Bunder in Bombay. On 4 February 1916, Gandhiji made his first public appearance after returning from South Africa to BHU. He addressed the audience in BHU. Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is a celebratory day observed on 9 January by the Republic of India to commemorate the return of Mahatma Gandhi from South Africa to Mumbai on 9 January 1915.
