This was normal etiquette for artists. Among artists there was such kind of rivalry that lots of them died under mysterious circumstance. <br />This practice among great painters to never accept eatables or drinks is mentioned in their diaries. Agreed at medieval time there was hardly a chance to find out when someone was poisoned. Many people also died quite early. Mayapur in 1977 might be quite similar situation - no real doctors, no laboratories, no chance to carry out a substantiated postmortem examination. So when people are poisoned in many parts of India it is common practice not to have field investigation and conduct an investigation.

A certain King did not like his teachings, but Dayananda did not know that, so he accepted an invitation to dine at the King's palace. The King then poisoned the food of Dayananda and he died. This story was well known in India around that time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
