Q4. Much perturbed by the very rigid stance taken by the Indian Congress and Muslim League leaders on the matter of accession of states, Lord Mountbatten was once heard quipping to an indian leader ' you always talk about wooing people, yet in the case of states, you threaten. Would you woo a girl you want to marry with a stick and expect her to accept ?' Who did he dare to utter these extreme frustating words ?

Q5. This famous cricketer was also a very successful business executive who retired richy rich as the Managing Director of a large Tea Trading company. He was perhaps the first cricketer to resent and opt out from the national side for a test match when he protested for the selection of a particular player over another and despite himself being selected, didn't turn up to play for the test match.

His brahmana power started taking the heat out of Surya. The son in law could only save his feet to retain brightness from the sacred power of the Rishi by covering them by highneck boots.
Ans 3 : Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher / thinker. He was born in 551 BC.
Ans 4 : Mahatma Gandhi ( source - confidential reports of Lord Mountabatten on 'The transfer of power, 1942 - 47' , made public some years back )
Ans 5 : Australian fast bowler Fred Spoforth ( nicknemd the 'demon bowler' for his menacing speed ). He didn't take part in the first ever test match in 1876 - 77 for Australia against England as his friend wicketkeeper Billy Murdoch did not get a place in the team and instead Jack Blackham who was a lesser player played in the inaugural test. Spofforth is also the first bowler in the history of test cricket to take a hattrick.
