Gandhi's blood unsold!
The sample of blood on a microscope slide which Gandhi gave to a friend after an appendix operation in the 1920s, failed to sell at auction recently. It may be mentioned that the blood sample was one of 50 items of Mahatma Gandhi memorabilia, including a rare British parliament paper declaring Gandhi a terrorist, which were up for sales. Gandhi's unsold blood sample in the auction leads us to think that people are not interested in collecting this stuff in memory of Gandhi. Generally, blood does not come out of the body without any injury. Blood should symbolise peace in no way.
