India – M K Gandhi – father of the Indian nation highly important document dated ‘Asho sudi 4 Vikram Samvat 1982’ (September 23rd 1926 on the Gregorian calendar) being the will of M K Gandhi^ written at the Satyagrah Ashram^ Sabarmati^ Bhadarva in his native Gujerati^ with translation. This highly important document supersedes the Will^ dated 1921 which was sold in these rooms on May 21st this year^ and provides an historic insight into Gandhi’s thinking and his speculations for the future some five years on from his previous will. The witnesses to the document are Kishorelal Gahanshyamlal Mashruwala and Chhotelal Jain. This document has come to us from the same source as the previous will of 1921^ and according to a note from our vendor the present document was drawn up as an initial draft which was then the subject of considerable consultation by Gandhi’s circle. This led to several corrections which appear on the document in Gandhi’s hand with attestation by witnesses. The text of the document sets aside all previous wills and then adds^ characteristically: ‘I don’t have any property of my own. If anything is considered as my personal property after my death then from here I nominate the following persons as its heir.’ he then lists five people. ‘For all the books and writings written by me and all the books and writings I may write further^ I consider the above mentioned trustees as their heir. I also handover all the administrative powers following my death to the above mentioned trustees and the earnings from all my writings^ books or their copyrights and from anything that is considered as my personal property should be used for the development of the Satyagrahashram by the trustees during that time accordingly. Out of all these trustees if anybody resigns or dies during my presence the remaining trustees have authority to behave as per this will and they can even appoint a new trustee. I also have authority to correct them. This will is written and designed by me in my complete sense and understanding.’

India – M K Gandhi – father of the Indian nation – Highly important Mahatma Gandhi Prison Charkha. One of the most splendid personal possessions of the great Mahatma Gandhi we have ever offered^ with impeccable provenance. A portable charkha (spinning wheel)^ owned by Gandhi^ and used by him in Yerawda Jail (Pune)^ Indian teak^ hollow metal handle (signs of use)^ the folding case approximately 915 x 233 x 40 mm when open. With complete provenance and paperwork including old newspapers articles of the Charkha. Provenance: M.K. Gandhi – given by him c1935 to the American Free Methodist missionary Revd Dr Floyd A. Puffer (1888-1965) – presented c1965 to Revd Dr Frank J. Kline (1910-1993); thence by descent. Published – Emporia Daily Gazette (of Emporia^ Kansas) - Titusville Herald Aug 1st 1935 - Conference News Free Methodist Church May 1965. The origins and operation of the Yerwada portable charkha are described in the American monthly Popular Science (December 1931): `Mahatma Gandhi. has devised a portable spinning wheel that folds into a bundle about the size of a portable typewriter and has a handle for carrying. When unfolded for use^ it is operated by turning a small crank^ which runs the two wheels and spindle of the device. Gandhi worked out the details of this machine^ it is reported^ while he was confined to the Yerwada jail in India. He often mentioned that his daily spinning was a form of meditation. Mahatma Gandhi spent several years in Yerwada Jail during India`s freedom struggle^ notably in 1932 and later in 1942 during the Quit India movement^ along with many other freedom fighters. During his 1932 imprisonment^ which started after his arrest in January 1932^ he went on an indefinite fast to protest against the Communal Award on September 20^ 1932^ as a result he the famous Poona Pact was passed which he signed in this jail on 24 September 1932^ he was later released in May 1933. Floyd A. Puffer and his wife worked as missionaries in Maharashtra from 1919 onwards^ based at Yeotmal (modern Yavatmal) and later Darwha^ approximately 50 miles from the town of Wardha^ which Gandhi visited a number of times from 1934 onwards^ before establishing his ashram there in April 1936. The Puffers returned to the USA on leave in Spring 1935^ and displayed the wheel at a number of talks and events over the next year: the Emporia Daily Gazette (of Emporia^ Kansas)^ which illustrates Puffer demonstrating the wheel^ reports its having been given to him `last spring just before Mr Puffer. left for home on a year`s furlough`; the Titusville Herald (PA) similarly records of the Puffers^ `Among their many curios is a spinning wheel used by Mr Ghandi [sic] while in Poona jail^ and given to Mr Puffer by the noted Indian himself`; the wheel and its provenance are also cited in Puffer`s obituary in the Conference News of the Free Methodist Church for the Pacific Northwest for May 1965 (vol. XIV no.6)^ `Dr Puffer was a pioneer in the Indian educational and industrial cooperatives. He invented a bamboo plow that was adopted by Mahatma Ghandi [sic]. In return for his contribution to Indian life^ the leader of the forces of nationalism in India presented Dr Puffer a spinning wheel used while Ghandi was in prison`. Frank Kline was a fellow Yavatmal missionary (and later founder of the Union Biblical Seminary in Pune); like the Puffers^ he subsequently retired to the Pacific Northwest. The production of khadi – handspun cloth – was of both symbolic and practical importance in Gandhi`s vision of an independent^ self-reliant India^ and he encouraged all Indians to spend a part of each day in spinning: a spinning wheel was even incorporated at Gandhi`s suggestion into the flag of the Indian National Congress^ from which the present Indian national flag (which by law must be made from khadi) derives. A most personal possession of the father of the nation during his years in Prison^ fighting for the rights and independence of his fellow countryman and highly important piece of the heritage of India

India – M K Gandhi – father of the Indian nation Important Gandhi Salt Tax License Tax 1899. A very important document relating to the Salt Tax by the British that led to protests by Gandhi during the Salt Protest. Britain`s Salt Acts prohibited Indians from collecting or selling salt^ a staple in the Indian diet. Citizens were forced to buy the vital mineral from the British^ who^ in addition to exercising a monopoly over the manufacture and sale of salt also exerted a heavy salt tax. Although India`s poor suffered most under the tax^ Indians required salt. Defying the Salt Acts^ Mohandas Gandhi reasoned^ would be an ingeniously simple way for many Indians to break a British law non-violently (British rule of India began in 1858). After living for two decades in South Africa^ where he fought for the civil rights of Indians residing there^ Gandhi returned to his native country in 1915 and soon began working for India’s independence. Gandhi declared resistance to British salt policies to be the unifying theme for his new campaign of “satyagraha^” or mass civil disobedience. This highly important and rare document is proof of the heavy Salt Tax imposed on the Indian nation by the British

India – M K Gandhi – father of the Indian nation Important Documents on 1946 Proposed Abolition of Salt Tax draft & correspondence^ 18 pages. This highly important secret 18 Page official document by British India Officials proposes the end of Tax on Salt^ after the monumental efforts Mahatamah Gandhi had to endure such as fasting^ protesting and being imprisoned by the British on several occasions. 18 Pages – c1946. Gandhi had written his first article on the salt tax in 1891 in the periodical The Vegetarian. While in South Africa^ he wrote in The Indian Opinion: `The tax levied on salt in India has always been a subject of criticism. This time it has been criticized by the well-known Dr Hutchinson who says that `it is a great shame for the British Government in India to continue it^ while a similar tax previously in force in Japan has been abolished. Salt is an essential article in our dietary. It could be said that the increasing incidence of leprosy in India was due to the salt tax. Dr Hutchinson considers the salt tax a barbarous practice^ which ill becomes the British Government. The British authorities turned deaf ears to the massive protests against the salt tax which rocked India during the early 1930s. The Gandhi March was only partially successful. Though it forced the British rulers to come to the discussion table^ the salt tax continued. It was only on 6 April 1946 that Mahatma Gandhi made a formal request to Sir Archibald Rowlands^ the finance member of the Viceroy`s Executive Council^ to remove the oppressive salt tax The salt tax became a major source of revenue for the East India Company and later the British government^ and was not abolished until February 1947. This official document is very important in the efforts Gandhi made to abolish the Sale Tax.
