    Banu, the chairperson of the sanitation committee, walked to examine the site of a disputed rubbish bin placement between a mosque and temple. Along the way, she gathered a large, diverse group of supporters that mirrored Gandhi's salt march. At the site, Banu counted the footsteps between the religious structures and proposed placing the bin exactly in the middle at 116 steps from each. This solution was accepted without objection.

    Between the mosque and the temple

    Once upon a time there was a parsi woman (Banu) lived with her maid
    (Pemmy). She completely dependent on Pemmy not for household only but
    also for her companionship.
    She was the chairman of the sanitation committee. One morning she took an
    extra prayer because she was anxious for the possible outcome of the dispute
    between the Hindus and the Musalmans for the placement of rubbish bin. She
    was afraid of bloodbath as warned by the collector. Since the Hindus and the
    Musalmans did not want that the rubbish bin to be placed near to their holy
    respective places.
    After prayer, she became ready to go to examine the site and tried to show
    that she was the chairperson. As she wanted to look like other people thus
    looked very simple. The collector sent a car to pick her up but she refused and
    chosen to walk. She felt very happy when the two committee members who
    came with the car, stayed with her. She set out on a very hotter day.
    On her way, a group of students recognized her and followed her to the site
    which made her remember the Gandhijis salt march in which the Hindu and
    Muslims of both were united to show solidarity against the English. Likewise,
    students many people joined her. The retinue Banu was building for herself
    seems to be very impressive than a Rolls Royce. She crossed the way along
    with dusty wadis, dirty path and cobbler streets etc. When she got the rubbish
    bin, the representatives of Hindus and Muslims with their followers were
    surprised to see the crowd and also the chairperson was a woman.
    She went straight to the point and counted the footsteps between the
    mosque and the temple with other people, which came about two hundred
    thirty-two. Then she decided to keep it at one hundred sixteen steps from the
    mosque and the temple i.e. in the middle of the mosque and temple.
    The rubbish bin shifted away from the mosque and near to the temple in
    order to keep it in the middle and thus no one objected against it.
    Banu came with many people, neither Hindus nor Mualmans, argued with
    her and it was thus felt very easy to solve the problem.
