[edit] Typo?

The article reads:

He saw through the British tactics of binding Parsi loyalty to the crown, by repeatedly making Parsis feel superior by showering them with decorations and praise, as by 1946 as many as 63 Paris had been knighted. In his presidential address to Indian National Congress, he once said: "In speaking of myself as a native of this country, I am not unaware that, incredible as it may seem, Parsis have been both called and invited and allured to call themselves, foreigners."

However, given that he passed away in 1915, this reference to an event in 1946 seems to be erroneous - this statement is sourced but I believe that the source itself has a typo. Any pointers to deal with the situation? --Gurubrahma (talk) 06:12, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
