UK: Grass with Gandhi’s blood sells for 10,000 pounds



London: A pinch of soil and blood-stained blades of grass from the place where Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 sold for 10,000 pounds at an auction in London on Tuesday that also saw many other Gandhi memorabilia going under the hammer including his iconic round-rimmed glasses that fetched more than twice the estimated price.
While the glasses sold for 34,000 pounds, the ‘charkha’ or the spinning wheel realised 26,000 pounds.
The announcement of the sale by auction house Mullock’s earlier this month had evoked a lot of outcry from several quarters demanding its scrapping.
