Should Gandhiji's belongings be auctioned??

This is not the first time that the Government of India and the Navjivan Trust are involved in a controversy over the auctioning of Mahatma Gandhi’s belongings. The current James Otis incident may not be the last time either.
But the question arises is whether these things should be auctioned or not??
Being an Indian I feel that these things belong to India and they are not for auctioning.
Its belongings of our "Father of Nation".Its a question of our national pride.

Mr. Jitendra Desai, the managing trustee of the Ahmedabad-based Navjivan Trust, set up by the Mahatma in 1929 says "It is for the auctioneer to establish the authenticity and certify the articles to be originals"

It is a good step taken by "Vijay Malya" to obtain the possession.
This has caused things to remain in India.He has won the auction with 9.3 cr.
Earlier also he has taken the possession of sword of Tipu Sultan in an auction and submitted it to the national treasure.
But the question remained answered whether such auctioning is correct or not?
We need to think over it.

For my Bhaiya:"On the auspicious ocassion of Rakhi"

I'm just sitting here thinking about what you mean to me, Remembering all the things you've done for me, You've been there for me from the start, Knowing what to say to keep me from falling apart, Taking everything that comes your way good or bad, Even though you're not my father you'll always be my dad, I can't count high enough for every time you've went out of your way, Knowing you're there keeps me going everyday, When I need encouragement, you're the first to give it, When I have a problem, you always have the best advise to fix it, I could sit here and say Thank-you from now till I die but it wouldn't be enough, I can only wish if I went through what you did I could be so tuff, I'll always love you unconditionally, From now till an eternity. Thanks a lot for being a wonderful brother.

More Stressed The Parents, The More Likely The Children Are To Have Tooth Decay

According to a study kids born to parents under stress-induced by low income, having little education, and being a single parent, are more likely to have tooth decay. Researchers from The Ohio State University examined the stress levels of parents whose young children either had no cavities or so many cavities that they had to receive anesthesia before undergoing dental treatment. The team looked the parents' education levels and income, and noted whether they were single parents. They finally measured the parents' stress levels again after the children had received dental treatment. It was found that low income, having little education, and being a single parent led to increases in parental stress. The researchers also found that the more stressed the parents, the more likely the children were to have decay. Interestingly, they even found that parents whose children had received treatment for dental decay had lessened stress of being a parent. Thus, it is required that dental ...
