Last week, walking by Mahatma Gandhi road, I came across the not
uncommon sight of fashionable teenagers sporting western styles and
mannerisms, prominent among them a young chap with a T-shirt
displaying a large red swastika with a picture of Hitler ...
Prominently
displayed in one of their Pune locations were multiple copies of
Hitler's Mein Kampf. I walked over to the guy at the desk to chat about
the prime display and general customer interest. He responded that the
book has been moving fairly fast off the shelves. He had no particular
explanation to offer for this phenomenon.
I wonder if the explanation might have anything to do with Gandhi and
Hitler's mutual nemesis Windbag Churchill? Goes the old saying: The enemy
of my enemy is my friend.

"It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious middle
temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the east,
striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, while he is still
organizing and conducting a defiant campaign of civil disobedience, to
parley on equal terms with the representative of the king-emperor."
-- Winston Churchill, 1930
