The year is 2007. The irony cannot be lost on those who study history. Exactly 250 years back, in 1757, a young British man, Robert Clive, had stood in mango forests, with a scroll, a map, a sword, and wondered how he was going to pave the way for a small band of people to control a vast sub continent, incredibly rich and diverse. A land of whose riches he had read about in Britain, and had often dreamed of. The land of wealth, but inner disjunction, between common people and the ruling elite.
