The Great Gandhi auction and Youth

Recently certain items belonging to Mahatma Gandhi were auctioned at 'Antiquoroum Auctioneer' in New York, over which Indian media and a lot of others created a lot of furore and confusion. As usual government of India tried its best to intervene to stop auction and get the items but, as usual it failed. And later Dr.Vijay Mallya -self proclaimed and widely accepted liquor baron- outbids others and finally will get possession of items. Soon - I guess.

The process went on smoothly and it's now that the real issues are slowly yet steadily evolving. For some strange reason young Indian folks haven't been able to associate themselves with these items instead "I would -any day- prefer a sexy Fast-Track shades over this piece of relic" said a Levi's underwear sporting young man. His identity can't be disclosed as Sri Rama Sene is after him. He seems to have sported Ray-Ban shades publicly.

"What do you do with a pair of specs which don't have evoke any oomph? Huh!!" questioned Durga Naresh. Wise people like Kuldip Nayar, Praveen Swami, Ram Guha and others found it difficult to answer this clever argument. "Ya cal m kool? huh! Those brass circular pieces don't sport no brand name" said party wear wearing, obviously cool young girl as she stepped out of a local discotheque.



"'Youth' youth Club" founder and member Medha Patkar did not respond in her famous -world famous in India- way by inflicting a hunger strike. Instead she renounced Bapu's memorabilia. "They are not ours" she said before leaving for Jantar Mantar -her permanent temporary address- obviously for a hunger striketo support Tata Nano project.

Chief Election Commissioner, N.Gopalaswami refused to react as it was against so-called "Moral Code of Conduct." However, in a off record conversation he revealed, he did not want Vijay Mallay to show Gandhi-items to election commissioner Navin Chawla. He's a congress man. Lalit Modi was furious and used many f-words in succession, but his fury was against politicians. -Sources
