"James Otis has set conditions before the Indian government in order to withdraw Gandhi's items from the auction, if the Indian government agrees either to spend more on healthcare for the poor or support educational events to promote Gandhi's principles of non-violence in 78 (the years Gandhi lived) countries across the world. He also wanted the Indian government to cut its military spending. The letter was sent to the Indian Consulate General in New York and forwarded to the MEA in India. The items that will go under the hammer include Mahatma Gandhi's metal-rimed spectacles, pocket watch, a pair of sandals, a bowl and a plate. The items have a reserve price of between $20,000 and $30,000."
The buzz for the past week has been this man James Otis - the more one hears and reads about him you have to but just wonder. The mysterious hand of "god" (fate) might just prove to be greater than the "hand" which has been with the "aam aadmi" in the upcoming elections.
James Otis for PM anybody?
