Claim: Gandhi used to receive allowance of Rs. 100 monthly by the British government.
Fact-check: No, Gandhi did not personally receive the allowance, it was allocated to the prison department - FACTLY
Verdict: the allowance is allocated for the upkeep of gandhi, who was held in custody as a state prisoner. this allowance is provided to the prison department rather than directly to gandhi. furthermore, this was a prevailing custom in accordance with the prevailing regulations during that period. numerous other detainees also obtained similar allowances. notably, gandhi refused to accept the stipend. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
