THE NAKED TRUTH DESKINNED
Do you know why the British quit their colonies. A recent study(abel brainstorming plato sparta n filly) says it may not be due to the Ahimsa struggle or the armed struggle that took place. The researchers(read sparta n filly) say that Britain did not try to expand its boundaries for colonization alone. No they did not want spices at cheaper rates. They were getting it pretty cheap. Their dishes do not conglomerate spices anyway.
They actually expanded their boundaries for a totally different reason. Most of these ‘ Memsahibs n Sahibs’ Or Lords and their Ladies if you like had a very congenital problem. Least to say they all lived in climates that caused Insomnia. Insomnia is defined as an abnormally prolonged inability to sleep. It could be caused by a variety of reasons like hypertension and other medical disorders or due to climactic conditions as in this case.
In the nineteenth century Doctors over a period of time observed that this condition was alleviated in case of marine travelers and pirates both of whom traveled long distances over the sea. In order to find a permanent solution to this problem they submitted a recommendation to THE Crown suggesting that new lands be conquered for the rehabilitation and resettlement of subjects which would cure the of this predicament. That’s when for the alleviation of its subjects disorders they started a conquest of new lands.
Time passed and lords and ladies settled into the lands conquered. But they were far from being cured. In fact there was little if any change in their conditions. Long gowned men and women still spent sleepless nights. Advent of the twentieth century and almost half a hundred years through the newly acquired statistics studied by the Doctors suggested that there had been little if any amelioration. Then realization dawned on them that the colonization served them no good not with BIMARU states’bhaiyyas, Pudi chatni annas and potbellied shetties consuming more than they worked for{agreed with Aamche Sinh Balasaheb}.And they decolonized.
Now the same sahibs and memsahibs returned to India and were joyous to discover sleep. Recently further development in science has provided a reason why the lords and ladies didn’t fare as good as the seafarers. No ,delicacy or hardiness is a no issue. The real unrevealed reason had been hidden in centuries old wisdom. The docs were reminded "The sun never sets on the British Empire." And the insomnia hence was a given. And thats why they decided to let these nations like India govern themselves..... :-P
