Explanation:
Mahatma Gandhi was the great Indian figure who enlightened the world with the principles of truth and non-violence.
He belonged to an age when the principle of “Might is right” was the notion of the time. Countries were engaged fighting each other while displaying their powers.
After studying law, he went to South Africa to work for his clients. He raised his voice against the discrimination that was done again Indians and other dark people. However, he always adopted peaceful means.
After returning to India, he got the task of getting the country freed from the foreign rule.
Gandhi condemned the mass killing incident of Jalianwala Bath.
The people of the country, under the great leader, marched to Dandi and produced salt. They were protesting against the unfair British tax regime.
Gandhi was a supporter of indigenous cottage and khadi industry. The Swadeshi and Boycott movement inspired millions of Indians to come forward for the cause of the nation.
During the “Quit India movement” he asked Indians to “Do or die” for the freedom of the country.
He was a saint. He was praised even by the British community.
Answer:
Mahatma Gandhi’s last will and testament, a set of his prayer beads, a pair of leather sandals, and a fragment of his blood on a microscrope slide were among 50 rare items sold at an auction on Tuesday fetching a total of more than £150,000.
The blood sample, billed as a potentially ``hot’’ item , surprisingly failed to sell in the first round but was eventually sold for £5000 against the asking price of £10,000-£15,000.
It was donated by Gandhi to a friend after an operation for appendicitis in 1924.
His will, written on two papers and signed by him in Gujarati, was sold for £55,000 exceeding the maximum guide price by £10,000.
The leather sandals, despite being in poor condition, also fetched more than the asking price of £15,000. They were sold for £19,000.
A set of wooden prayer beads sold for £9,000 and a quaint handheld lantern for £4,500. The lantern was described as being in ``poor condition, rusted and with only one window intact but retaining its original burner’’. Gandhi was said to have used it personally.
A "rare’’ British Parliament paper declaring Gandhi a ``terrorist" from 1932, fetched £260. The paper, dated 1932, discusses the Civil Disobedience Movement describing it as a “Terrorist movement”. Its contents include correspondence between Gandhi and British authorities.
A spokesperson for the auction house Mullock's in Ludlow, England, said they were ``very pleased’’ with the sales.
``They went off very well.’’
Buying and selling Gandhi memorabilia has become big business in recent years prompting calls for his personal effects to be regarded as ``national treasure’’ with the Indian Government being given the first right of refusal
