A year after a controversial biography of Mahatma Gandhi proved that he was bisexual and left his wife to live with a German-Jewish bodybuilder, the Indian government has bought a collection of letters  which is between the two men days before they were to be auctioned.
India paid around £700,000 (60million rupees) for those letters, which cover Gandhi's time in South Africa, his return to India and his contentious relationship with his family.
The auction was to be held at Soother's in London on Tuesday but was called off at the last minute.

The documents will now be with the National Archives of India in New Delhi.
They previously belonged to relatives of Hermann Kallenbach, a German-born Jewish architect who met Gandhi in South Africa in 1904 and was impressed by his ideas.
Last year, a Gandhi biography by author Joseph Lelyveld called Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi And His Struggle With India detailed the extent of his relationship with Kallenbach in deep.
It claimed that the leader of the Indian independence movement was deeply in love with Kallenbach.
