There was an immense hype, a literal fracas between the Indian and the US authorities over auctioning of the commodity of Mahatma Gandhi's assets like watch, specs, sandals, etc. Mr. Gandhi has once gifted various items to a friend in States and now by legacy, they stood the hammer-touch at the auction house, Antiquorum in New York. The Indian government had little to do with preventing the auction of items which belonged to the "Father of the Nation", but asked help from the billionaire Indian, Mr. V. Mallya for his help, and rightly so, the multi-billionaire pocketed out some Rs. 9 Crores to acquire the items. Seems quite a luxury when the people of the nation are dying of hunger! When the government fails to look after the poor, for whom the man in question fought for! They are busy acquiring collectables from all over the world.
If things are so prestigious of the nation to allow them fall in hands of others, then what happened to the Nobel Prize that was won by Rabindranath Tagore, as the First Ever Indian and Asian winning the prize in Literature? It got stolen, god knows for how many years! What happened Mr. Government? They remain Blank, but does some activities which are Blunt from the beginning to the end!Firs acquire food, cloth and shelter for all, then acquire Mahatma's items for giving shelter to them without fulfilling his dreams is literally a slap to his honour! Public understands, you better understand, for if this public wakes up... You know what 1857 did to the Imperial Rulers, we can always expect one if things fails to fall in their places! This time it will not take 100 years for the uprising!
