One day, while Gandhi was addressing his prayer meeting, a Muslim youth arrived on the prayer grounds and screamed “Why have you hoisted the Indian flag here? Don’t you know this is Bengal, a part of Pakistan? Pull down this flag immediately” Gandhi turned around and directed his volunteer to remove the Indian flag hoisted over his house without realizing that, by doing so, he was affronting the reverential sentiments of the Hindu victims only to please an isolated Muslim fanatic.
