Mallya buys Gandhi memorabilia

Vijay Mallya an industrialist from India had acquired the belongings of Mahatma Gandhi by placing the winning bet of Rs 9.3 crore at a NewYork auction. Its such a surprising thing for all the Indians across the world tp see a thing like this to happen, but at the same time we should really feel proud of him to do thing like this. The bidding for the items stopped at $1.8 million, but with commission it came for around $2.1 million. This is not the first time that Mr Mallya has bought a part of Indian heritage at an auction. In September 2003, Mr Mallya had bought the sword of Tippu Sultan at an auction in Londion. Indian bought the things and saved the Indian heritage from its loss. Hats off to Mr Mallya.
