Clean ink signature, "M K Gandhi, 18:5:31,” on an off-white 3.75 x 2.25 sheet. Archivally matted and framed with a portrait of the Mahatma to an overall size of 14.75 x 12.25. In very fine condition. This autograph dates to roughly two months after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, a political agreement signed by Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, on March 5, 1931, which put in place a set of agreements that began to lessen England's harsh repression of Indian nationalism. Although Gandhi was impressed by Irwin's sincerity, the terms of the pact fell manifestly short of those Gandhi had prescribed as the minimum for a truce. Still, Gandhi managed to have over 90,000 political prisoners released under the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.
