Gandhi was known to give away his personal possessions to those who helped him. The glasses were given to the current owner's uncle by the famous leader during a trip to South Africa in the 1920s. The rare item was then passed down through generations before ending up in the letterbox of an auction house in Bristol. These glasses have been lying in a drawer for over 50 years. A sale price was set between £10,000 and £15,000 for the spectacles but fetched over 26 times higher. Gandhi named as 'Man of the Year' by the magazine Time in 1930 was a lawyer, political activist and ambassador for peace. He led the campaign for Indian independence from the rule of Britain in the 20th century by using non-violent resistance. He developed a distinctive look in later life which many may recognise him by - which included the iconic glasses. 4 Likes 1 Share

He used his own law practice/knowledge to change the world, inspire and instigate the emancipation of his country. But today many use theirs to twist the law by lying to make themselves more money |
