Abstract
The newspaper photographs of his arrest show an unlikely looking rebel with little about him of either Gandhi or Guru Gobind Singh.

The button of the jacket strains across an ample stomach, made more obvious by the pressure of a Sikh policeman’s finger as he tries to guide his distinguished prisoner gently through the crowd.
