| QUOTATION: | It is ... alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well-known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Viceregal Palace, while he is still organising and conducting a defiant campaign of civil disobedience, to parley on equal terms with the representative of the King Emperor. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Winston Churchill (1874–1965), British statesman, writer. speech, Feb. 23, 1931, Epping, England.
Referring to Gandhi’s release from prison in India to discuss political devolution with the Viceroy. |
