Gandhi would drink milk from a pure white goat only (don't ask for the logic).
During one tour, he was scheduled to stop at one station near Bengaluru & have a glass of milk while meeting the people. The only problem: a white lactating goat couldn't be found

@Sandy49363539 The reception committee hit upon a novel idea the previous night
The next morning, as his train rolled in, Gandhi was offered his glass of milk from a white goat. Not trusting them, he said he wanted to see the goat & they duly pointed out across the platform to a goat tied

@Sandy49363539 in the distance. It had been painted white the previous night 😂
Satisfied, Gandhi had the milk & the rest of the short halt went off smoothly
PS: Goat milk stinks, can't be consumed easily & are very uncooperative while milking
