Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) - a section of handwoven cotton 'Khadi', likely a strap for a sandal or similar. This section matches the straps present on lots 10 and 20 (Gandhi's hand made sandals) in this same auction. Constructed from two sections of cotton stitched together in a diamond pattern. Some spot staining to one side. Hand made by Gandhi. Measures; 6cm x 19cm. 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.
