Funnily enough, I have read quite a lot on the subject. It fascinated me ever since my first visit to India and how British with a capital E for Empire certain aspects remain, culturally speaking.

I have seen, touched even, a cannon that was used for a group of village elders who questioned the building of a church, which needed the demolition of a temple.

That is why I used the example, and the ins and outs of that example in the two posts above detract from my general point.

Which of course, is the intention, isn't it?
