individual we can quote the Australian Governor

only outstanding Muslim of all India stature in
Indian politics todayHe appears to have the
legal mindhe holds his cards very close to his
chest. A man of iron discipline. He is dogmatic
and sure of himself; I would believe that it does
not ever occur to him that he might be wrong.
