One is so carried away by the peripherals and the paraphernalia that the main message is often missed.
FOR CLOSE TO A CENTURY EVEN.
AND IF ONLY WE HAD HEEDED MOHANDAS K. Gandhi circa 1904 we wouldn't have been fighting this senseless war against terrorism.
similarly the GREAT GAME STARTED IN 1800's still continues to date. And once again goes in around the karakoram ranges and khyber passes!
The peripherals and paraphernalia has changed but THE ESSENTIALS ARE THE SAME.
DEMOCRACY TERRORISM ARE TRANSPORTATABLE TRANSNATIONAL TRADE-INS AND TRADE-OFFS TODAY.
IT WAS THE SAME THEN ONLY THE LABELS WERE DIFFERENT. THE PLAYERS WERE DIFFERENT OR THE PRESENT PLAYERS GRANDPARENTS AND THE THEATRE HAS MOVED FROM INDIA AND AFRICA TO ARABIA AND WEST ASIA.
UNLESS WE ONCE AGAIN RECLAIM THE ROOTS WE CANNOT BUT GET SHOOTS GOING ALL OVER AGAIN!
