The transcript narrates the discovery of an envelope containing spectacles and a note claiming they belonged to Ghandi. The story traces the spectacles' origin to the 1920s, given to the vendor's uncle by Ghandi in South Africa. Verifying their authenticity is challenging due to the lack of living witnesses.
