Re: A Shameful Heritage....
OK. As I said earlier, Mega-farmers were never a political force in modern day India. Look at the elections of 1930 and 40s. Mega farmers didn't score much in the regions now comprising 28 states.
So what's the fuss?
p.s. boot-licking was done by everyone. Mega-farmers, Mega-industrialists, Gandhi-the-official-recruiter-for-Brits, all sarkari Baboos, and you name it. This is how that time was. Anyone creating anarchy was sent to Kaala Paani (Andaman Islands).
So why would you just home in one group while giving free pass to the rest?
