Mohandas K. Gandhi used to sign autographs for the interested people. There used to be autograph signing sessions. The charge for each autograph was Rs. 5. Now this was in 1942. Gandhi said the logic for charging for his autographs was that it will be valued by the person and also the money can be used for 'ashram' purposes. As per calculations of inflation values of 2012, the Gandhi autograph had the value of Rs. 1000 of today. If we think about that, the money charged is justified. He was intelligent in that aspect. It is believed he had learned to give his autograph in many of the Indian Languages.
