Auctions and the Mahatma's spectacles

Sometimes one wonders, are these Auction houses a boon or a bane?

And why/how do they manage to get their hands on our National heritage, eg, Tipu Sultans sword some time back or now, Mahatma Gandhi's spectacles..

Questions like these need answers and this time I'd like to appeal to our Government..
For there is no other way this can be stopped.

Tommorrow they will buy the Mahatma's spectacles, and then after that tommorrow...??

The issue is not limited to this alone, we need an entire 'cultural revolution', one where every Indian needs to be involved..

Starting with re-looking at our history books and the whole syllabus...so that facts are stated..and people learn/believe the right stuff.

And maybe , just maybe this growing societal divide can be addressed too..
