..during the late 19th century, there was another sain (a baba) who looked much like Sain Liaqat.His name was Baba Tajuddin Auliya, after enduring a brief period of "mahjoob" i.e roaming the city with rolling eyes, he was asked by a British emissary, if he would accept to withdraw & meditate in his (enclosed) garden, under a banyan tree (on account, that he was also been seen riding a wild lion sometimes). However, the public of Chota Nagpur was hungry for change of luck, they demanded free access to Baba. The chowkidar (sleeper) of the garden however, charged a fee from everybody who wanted to see Baba and there was much commotion. Then Baba said "Logon ney hum ko bahut sata the hain. Hum mantal mein chale jaengay" (..the people are disturbing us a lot, we are going to stay at the mental hospital). He then went to the local British tennis club, climbed all the fences, took of his cloth and danced nakedly for some victorian tea and cucumber sandwich ladies. During that (victorian) times, there were no cars, and what he did, was considered a top notch outrage.
Baba was consequently locked up in Nagpur mental hospital. But they could not contain Baba, as he was already manifest troughout the multiverse. Same thing again, the warden of the hospital started to take an entrance fee of one (1) rupee (a weeks pay during the 19th century) from the public that que'd up in line outside. Baba was later released and taken by elephant parade to reside at the Raja's palace. But Baba didn't like that and went to stay under a neem tree on the outskirts of Nagpur....

Better not to mess with an outraged Kashmiri roohania mob (the public)...but as an outsider one can probably get away with a lot of things..

It's only BRUISED aluminum....Sarkar is creating beautiful cauldron traffic jam drainage in brushed aluminum!
But we (do not) know of the trickiness of such highly polarizing issues.
