Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) - Postcard / Letter - an important Gandhi letter, written in Guajarati on a Yeravda Central Jail postcard where Gandi was imprisoned from 1932: Dear Sister, I have written you a letter. So I have preserved your letter of 21st July. Your complaint is absolutely true. For the Kund (Pond/Cistern) you wish to be prepared, it will take a good amount of time for it to be completed. Meanwhile, you should take bath in the Sabarmati Ganga every day. If you will do this, then they will give your Darshan (Sight) soon. Men are really weak, but the women should become strong. And this is in their hands only. And they will become strong. As the men have arranged their own convenience, the women will also arrange their conveniences on their own strength. Thus there are many secrets if try to solve them. But what can be done when there is no will to achieve something. (He has written a proverb of Gujarati which means “who doesn’t have a will, he/she always find faults in everything”). Blessings from Bapu. Shree Nandubahen Dr. Kanuga’s Bungalow, Ellis Bridge, Ahmedabad. [B.B. (Illegible)] Written in black ink, to both sides, addressed in Gandhi's hand. Stamped with an official Yeravda Central Jail stamp, and signed by an official in red. Postmarked 2nd September 1932. Folded, one corner separated but present. Measures 14x9cm 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.
