I think mr.mallaya is a true Indian who still remember bapu's hard work & what he gave for our indipendence.i can say mr.mallaya is still left with that pure indian blood running in his viens. our govt, should take some lessons from this true Indian.i salute this true indian.he deserve to be call "TRUE INDIAN HERO" — from an indian to True Indian ...jai ho!

There are two things about this whole episode that bother me.First, what entitled the documentary maker to possess the belongings of Mahatma Gandhi and even if he had it for so long, it should have been returned to our country as a gesture that would have made history rather than getting it auctioned.Secondly, what stopped the Delhi High court from participating in the bid to get those precious things. Had there been no Mallya, those belongings would have found place in some museum in a country but not ours.The Gandhis have been and are ruling the country but they forgot to bring home the things that belong to a person without whom they would have been nowhere.What a shame!


 * well lets start out. first he(the documentary maker) was in possession of them, how does not matter, he was and is a pacifist much like gandhi. second he was telling the indian goverment that he would give it to them if the reformed their health care. third, the goverment probable paid off Mr. Mallaya to buy the articals for them, so as not to look overbearing. fourth the family probably thought it would be good to live up to his honor, such as he showed. fith Gandhi only drssed and acted poor so as to assosait with them as such, but realy was a bright indivual who would not mind losing, to him, meningles articals of cloths that could be replaced.--weirdjrc (talk) 16:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

i think that the belongings should have been placed in a museum in India. Bapu's items are priceless they are not to be sold!how did they go to that film maker any way. Such shame! if not for mallya they would have been lost. the delhi high court should have at least retreived them! if they dont go to a museum, them they should at least be returned to the gandhi family. to auction Bapu's belongings, is such a dishonor. it has brung shame to hindus and all of india.

it is not a dishonor he was a follower of gandis' and wanted to spread his word even further, he was taking action the only way he knew how to, by barging for want was right no what he wanted. you comment sowes you complet and absolut ignorence towords this area. if any thing he has brought honor to india he was selling them to them not to forign countries. --weirdjrc (talk) 16:31, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
