Mohandas Karamchand Zombie was born in the late 19th century and is famous for leading the undead to freedom from the tyranny of the living. His first forays into the civil rights for the undead movement and protest against the living, ruling class garnered him the name Mahatma (meaning great soul) and is still the most common name by which he is known.
His experiments in selective and controlled brain eating, and zombie yoga led to what is now accepted and encouraged practice amongst the undead. His deathday (October 31, 1896) is still celebrated as an undead holiday in all regions of the world, and thousands of shrines (in living as well as undead areas) pay homage to his insight, wisdom and perseverance.
Legend has it that Zombie simply drifted away into the wind in the mid 20th century; although, there is some controversy that surrounds his disappearance with several of the living and undead claiming The Lifers (a pro-life hate group) actually had him dusted in order to keep what little control the ruling class had over the undead. But once the fire of selective and controlled brain eating began to spread, the ruling class has had little hope of stopping the swell of sympathy and support for the undead’s plight.
“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
– Mahatma Zombie, in response to one of his followers having eaten the brains of a local police officer.
