Scribes and their prayers
WHEN one copied some text or words exactly &#; I remember from my childhood days &#; especially with little understanding of its contents, one was reminded sharply by the teacher that doing this amounted to makkhi pe makkhi maarna [squashing one fly upon another]." There was no doubt in our minds about the import of these dreaded words, but what the reference to flies was became clear to me only years later. This, when I chanced upon the Mughal chronicler, Badauni&#;s caustic comments upon some of the Sanskrit texts that he &#; much against his orthodox Islamic bent of mind &#; had to turn to under Imperial orders. These &#;wretched texts,&#; he wrote with some bigotry, were replete with errors, having been copied from generation to generation: if there was fly-excrement on a folio of the original, the scribes could be trusted to copy it exactly on to their own page.
Despite all these broadsides from the likes of Badauni, all the calumny heaped upon them, however, scribes and copyists have always interested me. For here were these countless men, unnamed for the most part and almost always unsung, who carried on with their work in those laborious days of writing everything with hand, poring over texts night after

Independence Day When Mahatma Gandhi lied for his brother
A Happy Family
Young Mohan (for that was what his family called him) was born to Karamchand and Putlibai on 2 October Theirs was a large, happy family. Mohan had a sister and two brothers—all older than him, so you can imagine how much he was loved and petted. The family was quite wealthy and lived in a big, three-storeyed house in the Indian port-city of Porbandar, in what is now Gujarat.

When Mohan was a young boy, he was very shy. He would spend all his time with his books. This made him very thoughtful. However, he didn’t love studies; in fact, he found maths rather hard.

The special thing about this king was that he never lied, no matter what happened to him. Mohan was so impressed by this play that he swore to never tell a lie in his life.
This is how one of Mohan’s report cards read: Mohan hated the f
