LONDON - A dispute over the ownership of a collection of writings by Mahatma Gandhi was resolved yesterday when a Hawaii based Hindu charity handed them over to the Indian government.
The papers, dating from the last six months of Gandhi's life, were sent to London earlier this year by the charity, the Saiva Siddhanta Church, which wanted to raise money to build a Hindu temple. But the Indian government intervened, insisting that all Gandhi's writings belonged to the nation.
