A customs line was established, which stretched across the whole of India, which in 1869 extended from the Indus to the Mahanadi in Madras, a distance of 2,300 miles; and it was guarded by nearly 12,000 men and petty officers...it consisted principally of an immense impenetrable hedge of thorny trees and bushes, supplemented by stone wall and ditches, across which no human being or beast of burden or vehicle could pass without being subject to detention or search.
(Strachey and Strachey 1882, 219-20)
Furthermore, salt was often adulterated, as an 1852 petition from Calcutta testified.
SALT STARVATION was siddling up to SALT CONTAMINATION!
LIKE TWIN TORTURERSHAKES ON THE TABLE!
Apart from that horrendous physical barrier the colonisers put up there was the fiscal barrier:
Dr R. Moore, formerly medical officer in charge of Midnapore District, was similarly examined before the Select Committee of 1853:
Chairman: With regard to the salt revenue, have you any observations to make upon that subject?
Dr Moore: In the first place the poorer people cannot get salt. Many people have supposed that diseases arise in consequence of the deficiency.
(Parliamentary Papers 1853, 61)
And so goes the tyranny of LINES DRAWN BY OTHERS TO CONTAINER THE COMMONS!
in the name of our democracy
LET US NEVER EVER HAVE TALK OF LAXMANA REKHAS AND GREAT HEDGES AGAIN!
SO OVER TO ANOTHER LINE THAT KILLED AND MAIMED AND DISPOSSESSED MILLIONS.
The British lawyer, Viscount Cyril Radcliffe, who actually drew the boundary lines, knew nothing of the subcontinent.
The mess up by monkey wrenching a nation was unprecedented in the history of mankind. Millions, MILLIONS marked solely by the religion they bore fled like flocks of flecked futilities, bled their way hither and thither on either sides of the border. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, over a million and more were slaughtered, on their way over and trains that came from Lahore to Amritsar came bearing bloodied bodies of corpses.
If only these hotheaded men who knew nothing or next to nothing about that great epic Ramayana and the total failure and futility of drawing a Laxmana Rekha, which would have to be breached at the begging bowl behest of a baba, which is really giving a
GO BY
At TheBEHEST OF A HIGHER
AUTHORITY to one who drew it in, in the first place,
Would they have desisted from the foolish endeavour or carried on marking arbitrary lines which are bound to be breached time and time again by bloodied feuds and bloodier bodies?
Word from Sega is that they're going to try to take back the RPG territory in a big way with a new game called "TimeJammers." It's supposed to offer control of six unique characters and multiple angles through the use of a rotating camera. My sources who've looked at a preview version say that the graphics are amazing, but that it's still very slow right now.

France assumed control of Syria and Lebanon. Britain took Palestine and Mesopotamia.
As new boundaries needed be drawn they quibbled over it for five days [at a conference in Baghdad] and Sir Percy Cox, British High Commissioner took a red pen to the map and drew the boundaries lines demarcating arbitrarily arrogantly atavistically psychotically the artificial countries of Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
so who wants to draw these lines?
LAXMANA REKHA
SHOULD RIGHTLY BELONG WHERE IT DOES:
ANNALS OF AYODHYA'S
MANLY
MYTHOLOGY!
AND DO KINDLY TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE'S SECURITY WHICH IS THE PRADHAMA RAJA DHARMA OF A PRADHAN!
