Apropos of the report Mahatma’s grandson dead (June 14), it is surprising that Ramachandra Gandhi’s body was loaded onto a small truck to take him from the India International Centre to hospital for an autopsy. That he was the Mahatma’s grandson is one thing. He was also a noted writer, teacher and philosopher. It is shameful to think that we revere the Mahatma so much and yet Ramachandra Gandhi died alone in a room at the IIC with no one to care for him.
