Kumbha Mela
- Mr. G. lists troubles faced by deck passengers on a ship in India. It's similar to the difficulties faced by third-class train passengers. He wants to improve these conditions.
- Gandhi doesn't know which is worse: 1) when no one recognizes him and he has to put up with traveling hardships or 2) when he's surrounded by supplicants who come to him for blessings.
- He feels he's causing unnecessary trouble for his hosts, so he vows not to take more than five articles of food per day and not to eat after dark.
- As of the writing of this chapter, he's stuck to these vows for 13 years. We're still eating donuts.
