Mahatma Gandi (1869-1948) - Letter - a postcard written by Gandhi. Postmarked for 1947. Gandhi is writing to his personal friend and physician Dr Kanuga, and writes: Bhai Kanuga [Puna] 08-03-47 Mrudula Bahen informs about your illness. The situation is like “Dariye men lagi aag bujha kaun sakega” (Translation: Who will be able to extinguish the fire burnt in the sea). Now please take the medicines and get well soon. What would be the situation of the poor Nandubahen? Although, you all are very….…. brave. You do not lose hope so early. Always the sorrow and happiness chase us in pair. We cannot separate them. Blessings from Bapu. Written in blue ink to both sides, the address written by another hand. 9x14cm. 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.
