Whats all this fuss i am hearing about some guy auctioning Gandhi's stuff?? Why everybody is making a big deal out of it? Correct me if i am wrong, but as i know it, That stuff was given away by gandhi himself in his time.How can we demand this Otis guy to stop the auction? Its not our national property.
It is his property. He can do whatever he wants to do with that stuff.He can throw it in the toilet and flush it away if he feels like it,for sanity's sake! Who are we to stop him?
If we care that much about Gandhi's stuff,The only thing we can do is to enter the auction and bid it for ourself.
And to repeat the words of good old Munnabhai, Instead of fussing about a pair of sandals and broken glasses, May be we should first follow whatever things that poor old guy preached his mouth off!
On a related note,If our government is that much concerned about our nation's cultural property, it should consider getting the kohinoor diamond and peacock throne back from England. That stuff was stolen from us and rightfully ours. and that is what we can call "national property".
