I didn't here if we were to post anything specific, so I'll run with this for a while. I just discovered an amazing site. It is www.newsoftheweird.com. The lead story this week was about an Indian museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and more specifically a new exhibit. Direct quotation of the article:
The ashram-museum in Ahmedabad devoted to India's highly revered icon of freedom Mahatma Gandhi recently re-installed a replica of the spiritual leader's personal toilet, in that Gandhi's own hygiene-consciousness was such a part of his legacy. It is said that he cleaned the toilet daily and referred to it as his "temple," but ashram officials had removed it in the 1980s as somehow inappropriate, according to a September dispatch from New Delhi in London's Daily Telegraph. Gandhi had written that "a lavatory must be as clean as a drawing room." [Daily Telegraph, 9-12-08]
Wow. Thank you internet.
