My TransStadia colleague Nishant (Raut) was talking of this view that had been expressed in an article he had read.. He (the author of said article) felt that M.K. Gandhi was the reason we see so much of the law-defying attitude in present-day Indians. It was Gandhi who had taught our forefathers to not arm themselves yet to defy the laws (the laws of the British Raj, i.e.), and such is why we see such in-your-face defiance to laws today..
