Speaking of national civil disobedience...
Were you aware that Ghandi, pre 1947, tramped barefoot throughout India preaching this mysterious doctrine.
Such was his zeal and fervour about this, that he failed to keep his health in order and became quite frail, to the extent that his teeth fell out from lack of oral hygiene.
He thus became known to us as a "Super calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis". (Say it fast...apologies to Mary Poppins).
