There was this small village in india before partition The christian master was
teaching young hindu lads He at one time boasted about the kingthood of the English
lords. He narrated an incident to proof his point which goes like this:
Once Queen Victoria was to visit some place and there were some lords waiting
to receive when she arrived and was about to step down from the carriage. A lord
noticed a puddle of water where she was about to set foot, he immediately took
of his coat and placed it on the puddle so that the Queen doesn't have to mess
with water.
On hearing this tale a meek chutia-bearing hindu lad raised his skinny hand and
said: "Sir in place of the English lord had it been our Bapu Gandhijee, Queen
Victoria would have blushed.
