I think at any cost we must get these belongings of our nations Father back to our country & preserve it here in our soil. Hope our govt. will do their best to get 'em home; what do you guys think?
Read complete article hereIndian-American hotelier Sant Singh Chatwal said Wednesday he plans to bid on several belongings of Mahatma Gandhi scheduled for auction in New York Thursday, with the goal of returning them to India.
"The idea is to get them back as a community and donate [them] to India," Chatwal told CNN, adding that he would welcome other members of the Indian community in the United States to join him in his auction effort.
Chatwal said if he obtains the items, he plans to give them to the museum where some of Gandhi's items are kept. Given Gandhi's importance to India, Chatwal said he doesn't want just anyone to get the items.
