<strong>Our</strong> <strong>Bapu</strong><br />

"I am sure he must have looked very smart in those clothes. I wonder why and<br />

when he gave up that dress."<br />

"Quite so, my child. He did look very smart in those clothes. But in 1919 he<br />

realized that millions of his countrymen could not afford even a shirt, much<br />

less a coat. And so he himself took to wearing only what the poorest of his<br />

countrymen used to wear-namely, a short dhoti, and a chadar. And that is why<br />

you could never see him dressed in a shirt or a jacket."<br />
