Prahlad Jani is a strange man. He does not eat. He is not fasting. He is neither bulimic nor anorexic. He is called the "foodless man". He says he has not eaten for the last 68 years. How then has he survived? 400 confused doctors at a hospital in Ahmedabad are said to have observed him closely for ten days to see if what he claims is true. They had close-circuit cameras to watch him day and night. The 76-year-old Prahlad is like other Hindu holy men in some respects. He puts on red robes, gold chains, bangles and even has earrings and a nose-ring. He has a white beard, white moustache and long, grey hair that is tied up in a pony-tail.
