J. Sri Raman | India Then, Iraq Now: Remembering a Revolt

J. Sri Raman writes:

"There might be few similarities between Saddam and Bahadur Shah, the king who prized poetry above power. Striking, however, is the similarity between the happy endings sought by the British then and Bush now to the stories of their military misadventures in Asia. The stories reveal other similarities as well, as India stands at the start of 2007, which will mark the completion of 150 years since what colonial chroniclers called the Sepoy Mutiny and India remembers as its First War of Independence."
