Mohandas Gandhi's personal items - Mohandas Gandhi's personal items have been sold for $1.8 million at a New York City auction. But the seller 
had said he was withdrawing them — so the auctioneer has agreed to wait two weeks before finalizing the sale.
Hello my friend Lakota12 Ji, Vijay Mallya is a UB's boss. He has lot of wealth. Some time back also, he was able to maintain Indian Philosphy in front of whole world. This amount is nothing for him. Whole credit goes to him. may god bless him and have a great time. However it is again with-held. For more: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29533822/ May God bless you nad have a great time.

Mallya is the liquour (intentional spelling mistake so that mylot accepts the word) king of India. He needs to project a good image of himself in the society. What he has done is a shrewd marketing strategy. He is a businessman to the core.

Hello my friend prasanna201 Ji, I think, you are absolutely right. It may be his market strategy. But, I wish to know, is it because of 'Liquour'. Like liquour there may be many social works in our society which may not be appriciated like smoking, 'hang-man in jails' etc. etc. May be probably he may be neutralising bad effect of his bussiness with good effect. Even, Liquour too has to be sold. It might have happened today for Mallaya. So nice for your positive comments. May god bless you and have a great time.

Hello my friend riyasam Ji, The great question is, how they reached to auction Venu. It is great. But auction is held back.

i think the Indian goverment had no right to go for an injunction. the objects belonged to Ghandi, not india. if that is a problem than all the memrobillia bought by Elvis and James Dean fans has to be returned to the US. it is superb that a indian bought the items. that is a fitting end to the matter.
