Rajaji

The last days of the year 1931, in the Central Jail at Vellore. A number of freedom fighters were imprisoned there. Some of them were sitting under a tree in the open yard. As they were chatting, a lean man, wearing dark glasses, and trying to tighten the dhoti he was wearing, walked across the courtyard. The men who were squatting under the tree stood up respectfully.

"Who is that?" one of them asked.

"You don’t know? He is Rajaji, the man who is worthy of being our Governor General" replied Professor N.G. Ranga, who happened to be there.

About seventeen years later, Rajaji did become India's Governor General.
