Indian Government try to take credit on Gandhi memorabilia

Indian business taycoon Vijay Mallya said that the Indian government has nothing to do with the bidding for Mahatma Gandhi's memorabilia and he bid on his own. "I bid independently. I wanted to get back the items to the country. I am not sure if anyone was aware that I was bidding," Mallya said.

Union Cultural Minister Ambika Soni claimed that the Indian government was in constant touch with Vijay Mallya throughout the auction. Mallaya, however, refused the government's claim, and said he acted on his own to get back Gandhi's belongings.

Mallya bought Mahatma Gandhi's five personal objects, including the iconic round eyeglasses, for 1.8 million dollars in a New York auction.

I am really proud on this tycoon for this cause, I thing this is done second because a few years ago he also take a historical sward from abroad.

Vijay Mallya – The Real Hero

Indian Business tycoon Vijay Mallya buys Gandhi items in New York auction, Items that belonged to revered Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi were sold at auction for $1.8 million to Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya who plans to donate them to his country.

The seller had tried at the last minute to withdraw the items -- Gandhi's trademark wire-rimmed glasses, worn leather sandals, a pocket watch and a metal bowl and plate -- after the planned sale caused uproar in India. But the auction in New York went ahead despite protests by the Indian government.

The items were sold by Antiquorum Auctioneers to Vijay Mallya, chairman of UB Group, said Tony Bedi, who bid for Mallya. Mallya, who as head of UB Group runs Kingfisher Airlines and United Breweries that owns Kingfisher beer, will donate them to India for public display, Bedi said. "I am sure all Indians will be pleased that these Gandhi items will be coming home," Bedi told reporters.

California-based collector James Otis, the seller, said earlier on Thursday that the items had been withdrawn. A lawyer for the peace activist said the sale was illegal. "I never intended for my actions to cause such controversy," Otis told reporters before the sale. "I pray the outcome is positive and one that Gandhi would approve of."
