Sample of Gandhi's blood goes up for auction

London (CNN) -- A glass microscope slide with a trace of the late Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi's blood is among an array of memorabilia due to be sold at auction Tuesday in England.

A pair of shabby leather sandals once worn by Gandhi, renowned for his doctrine of nonviolent protest and adherence to an ascetic lifestyle, is also going under the hammer.

I have a bottle of air he breathed. Any takers?

A lot of people here in India dislike Gandhi. Me too. He installed the corrupt womanizer Jawaharlal Nehru as the Prime Minister, although the honest and intelligent Sardar Patel deserved the post more. He did nothing when Hindus were being butchered in Pakistan and Bangladesh, although he forced the Indian government to shoot the Hindu revenge mobs.


Gandhi was a puppet of the British and he played hardly any role in the freedom struggle. A lot of brave people, such as Subhashchandra Bose and Bhagat Singh died fighting the British. However, their names were forgotten once India became independent.
