Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) - Letter - an important Gandhi letter, written in Guajarati, just one month after his release from Prison; '26-06-44 Dear sister, At least we hope that [Sasti Kriya] will be succeeded. But if an accident occurs, then come here at any day till 30th. You indeed need only 2 minutes to talk. Can mother go somewhere leaving her daughter in Sevagram? So if Sumita wishes, surely bring her. Blessings to all. Blessings from Bapu.' Written in black ink to the reverse of a plain postcard. Addressed to the front: Shri Nandubahen D. V. M. Desai Marg, Purushottam Building New Queens road, Opposite Opera House, Bombay 4. With postmark dated 28th June 1944. 14cmx9cm. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi's birthday, 2 October, is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. Gandhi is commonly, though not formally, considered the Father of the Nation in India, and was commonly called Bapu (Father). Provenance - from the collection of Dr Balvantrai N. Kanuga, Gandhi's personal long-term physician and friend.
