Gandhi’s Ashes Stolen, Picture Defaced

BBC

Thieves stole some of Mahatma Gandhi’s remains on what would have been his 150th birthday, police say.

The ashes were taken from a memorial in central India, where they had been kept since 1948 – the year of Gandhi’s assassination by a Hindu extremist.

The thieves also scrawled “traitor” in green paint across photographs of the independence leader.

This is despite Gandhi being a devout Hindu himself. More

    So, he was sometimes known as a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

    Sing that for full effect.

  4. Ghandi was lucky he wasn’t dealing with an occupying force like hitler’s, instead of Great Britian’s. Otherwise, ghandi would have been dead the first day he raised any objections to the occupying force.
