Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet
became quite thick and hard. Even when he wasn't on a hunger
strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail.
Due to his poor diet and deteriorating health, he suffered
from very bad breath. Nevertheless he was highly respected as
an important spiritual leader. 

In other words, he was known as a super-calloused fragile
mystic plagued with halitosis.
