The displayed letters might seem like two ordinary sheets of paper to other nationals but its value is well-identified by Indians.

The level of impatience or let me correct myself, the loyalty of the Indians for their “Bapu” doesn’t let those letters stay there for a long. As a result of this, the storyline today is that the Indian government has bought those letters from British auction house Christie’s through ICCR and presented it to the local NGO the Navjivan Trust.
