A rare collection of Mahatma Gandhi’s handwritten notes to his close friend Anand T Hingorani sold for $1.69 million in Mumbai, setting a new record as the most expensive Indian historical document ever auctioned. Written between 1944 and 1946, these intimate messages—offering comfort after Hingorani’s wife’s death—reveal Gandhi’s personal reflections on truth, non-violence, and self-restraint, later compiled in “A Thought for the Day.” The sale, part of a larger auction featuring Hingorani family archives, highlights Gandhi’s lived philosophy. The buyer remains anonymous, but the notes remain in India, honoring their profound historical significance.
