Devkishan Lakhiani is shown here because he is a role model for many of us who say we do something for India soon, if we have enough saved if our children are settled or our careers have stabilized and we have retired or whatever else. Lakhiani-loving, 'Dada' shows for all you can do something right now. He runs a free homeopathy clinic, and until a few years teaching at the nearby school and offered legal assistance to the poor. He has done that 'something' all his life.
He is a man of few words and has no complaints or grouses or advice. He's busy all day. Its a perfect world.
Bomb maker of the student:
Dada had grown up in Karachi in a large family of six boys. His father was a rice processor. He probably went through some random training and worked for the family business.
Then about 25, he was in the company of master Jethanand, who believed in scaring the British from India with bombs. Deeply nationalistic, young Devkishan became his acolyte. It is doubtful whether they were seriously arsonists. "We have no intention to kill anyone, just terrorize," says Dada. With such a fuzzy agenda in mind, the motley group threw a bomb, not on, but in front of a building in British Pinjrapara. Then running in all directions. Dada was not as fleet as the master and so was arrested and put in prison for three and half years.
When he came out, the British were preparing to India, least of all due to any acts of violence they were afraid to leave the Master of Dada. But the family faced Lakhiani where violence in Karachi. An extended family of 20 moved to Mumbai, then Bombay.
