Gandhiji’s great grand-daughter Nilamben Parikh immersing the ashes of the Father of our nation in the Chopatty Bay in Mumbai.The Father of India, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on Jan 30, 1948 was known by everyone. An urn containing some ashes of Gandhi had been kept up safe by an NRI follower of Gandhi in his bank vault since 1948. This portion of his 6 decade old ashes was immersed in the Arabian sea in Mumbai on his 60th death anniversary. All the family members of Gandhi were participated in the ceremony except Harilal Gandhi's descendants because of the bitter relationship between Gandhi and his son Harilal Gandhi. This may not be the last ashes of Gandhi because it is also believed that there is an urn containing ashes of Gandhi in an ashram in California, USA. Repeated attempts by the Gandhi's family members to get that urn containing ashes went on vain.
