Ice Doctor

Character Analysis

Okay, we could not leave this guy out. This doctor's name is actually Sjt. Kelkar, but because he treats Gandhi by applying ice to his body, he earns the name "Ice Doctor" (5.28.11-12)…which definitely makes him sound like a Marvel supervillain.

Gandhi describes him as a "crank like myself" (5.28.11) because he has unusual medical theories—although he's probably the best man to call if you want to beat the Delhi heat.
