He was honoured for outstanding public service. The only other Indian who tried to teach Indians clean toilet habbits was M.K.Gandhi and that was more than 60 years ago!<BR/>Cricket is the passion and passtime for the idle. I used to have lots of time in the early years of my practice and this was one of my pastimes!My thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830998674957110393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555286391558588391.post-5850034075184478132009-03-24T14:13:00.000+05:302009-03-24T14:13:00.000+05:30Inever knew that you know so much about cricket! ...Inever knew that you know so much about cricket!<BR/> I remember reading in a kannada book of Beechi, how he tried to unite all sects of people. He constructed a temple and thought it is the bestway to bring people together. And sat at a distance to watch and feel happy. but he saw only one particular community people making use of it. Felt bad. He destroyed the whole thing and constructed a church. Sat at a distance to watch. Alas! the same thing happened. Felt utterly bad. Destroyed the whole thing and in it's place set up a mosque. Sat at a distance to watch. He felt disgusted to see that again only one communitypeople using it and not the others. He thought for a while long. Destroyed the whole thing.( This he had to because he had only that much of land). Ultimately one thought occurred to him. He constructed community SULABH SHOUCHALAY.Again he sat at distance (little away from where he sat earlier) and watched. <BR/> Your guess is correct! He was sarisfied because he had succeeded in bringing communal hormony!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
