Indian politicians have waged a new age movement to save some national pride. They are trying to get back Mahatma Gandhi'sspectacles, sandals and pocket watch all up for grabs in a New York auction to be held in March.
India politics and present day culture relies heavily on Gandhiji's principle of non-violence and secularism. Gandhiji's personal articles will remain important parts of the country's political history, politicians from across different parties claim.
Mahatma Gandhi is credited with winning India's Independence from Britain in 1947. The father of the modern Indian nation was killed in 1948 by a right wing Hindu activist blaming him of appeasing Muslims and triggering the division of India and creation of Pakistan.
