GANDHIJI, MONT BLANC and EXPENSIVE PENS
On the 140th Anniversary of "Bapu", it is sad indeed that such a controversy had to come up. We have all read about Gandhiji and his frugal habits, so, marketing a pen, which costs $25000, in the name of Gandhiji and launching it under the name "Limited Edition 241", (241 mile Dandi March)! What is more amazing is that this was endorsed by his great grandson as well, who actually launched the product. One counter-point is given in the link below:

While the philanthropic initiative deserves to be praised, it still cannot justify marketing a product in his name, and all the sacrifices which he made. The Father of Our Nation deserves better, on his birthday.
Greetings to all on the 140th Birth Anniversary of Bapu. To those who haven't watched, do watch "Lage Raho Munnabhai".....a must watch!
