Although in this time and place, the reasons for happiness are becoming more and more elusive.  The world generally has become a dangerous place, much more dangerous for the weak. The rule of power and force and the philosophy of might is right has taken roots firmly. We are the weak ones, and we pay heavily due to it.

The fate favors the mighty and it did. A handful of British ruled millions of Indian people...
