This book reflects my continued interest in the Volunteering and Community services. I was a member on the Board of the Harbor foundation for the retarded; The Rotary Clubs of the cities I resided in, The Battered Woman's Aid group, and The Art Center. I was also keenly involved in and organized the 50th birthday of the city of Palos Verdes, and 10th anniversary of the formation of the city of Ranch Palos Verdes. From that I catapulted to Politics and was in the inner circle of the Republican followed by Democratic Party. The chapters like the Politics of Convenience Upset the Balance of Power; the Pendulum Theory; and the Cyclical Theory are the products of what the real situations were.

Chapter One

The Golden Sparrow

India, the Golden Sparrow, was also called the "Jewel of the East."

The "Plunderers," of all countries of the world eyed it as a prize catch.

The international traders were keen to rob it's riches, jewels, stones, natural resources, including gold, silver, over the centuries. The Greek and Roman merchants were deeply involved with the Indian commerce, until they were cut-off by the Mohammedan Powers. Then came the Arabs in their dhows, and made significant progress in the commerce between India and Europe, but these exceedingly profitable opportunities fell into the hands of the Portuguese, French and most of all the Dutch. They later established the East India Company. These nations waged battles to capture ports and landing sites in the Indian coastline.

However, the foxy Englishman John Mildenhall, convinced Emperor Jehangir to grant free trading powers, to the East India Company formed by Clive in 1600 AD. The Brits were quick to learn that the Indians always fight with each other and can never team-up to fight the outsiders. They took advantage of this lack of unity, and we had to pay heavy price for it till mid twentieth century. They slowly took over the country under the pretext of protecting the Moguls against French, Portuguese, and Dutch. They systematically got rid of all other Europeans, using their tactics, statesmanship and better business acumen.

It was easy for them to get rid of the Moguls, as the quality of their dynasty degenerated, and after they won the Plassey war, and slowly conquered Bengal, through intrigue and economic drain. After dealing a decisive blow to the French, The British East India Company was in full control of the upper Ganges plains.

In the south the, Anglo Mysore war ended in peace treaty with Tipoo Sultan, who was in league with the French. Mysore was now at the disposal of the British. However Napoleon Bonaparte's attack on Britain, gave William Pitt an excuse to collect funds from the wealthy States, under the new law of "Subsidiary Alliance, " with the nawab of Hyderabad, Marathas, and other Indian Princely states. This gave the Governor General extreme powers to take over their entire administration and funds, if he was dissatisfied with them on any account. Basically the Company's domination spread from sea to shining seas, across the base of the whole Indian Peninsula. The excuse was that it is protection money. After grabbing their total collections from their subjects, as taxes, they were given small portion for their expenses and upkeep.

In realty it was the British Strategic Naval Power that resulted in defeating the mighty Spanish Armada (= David vs. Goliath). In almost the same way, capturing of 4 Indian trading vessels, from Gujrat to the Red Sea, Middleton of the East India Company created an aura of awe that led to the British supremacy. However Clive was the real architect, of building the British Empire in India. He reduced Dutch to submission in 1759 and quickly closed the irregularities of his interference by accepting compensation from the Dutch. India's prominence on the Silk Road, its fertile land, and the cheap labor growing by geometric proportion, were some of the attractions for the aggressive colonizers!

Centuries ago, people used horse, or bullock carts, and migrated in lands alongside or adjacent to the banks of largest rivers like Ganges, Jamuna. They settled in small villages and large townships! There were no faster transportation systems.

The main arteries of the old India were two largest rivers, as they defined the Defuse Map of India. The highest mountain peaks of Himalayas really protected our Motherland, on the North from the Russians, Chinese, the Moguls, the Greeks, the Iranians, the Turks, the Aryans, the Teubelanes, and Mongols like Genghis Khan, to name a few! To enter or attack India, one had to discover a few vulnerable passes through the treacherous and rugged mountain ranges of the Northwest frontier provinces of India.

The purest, most handsome, and high cheekbone Aryans (still found in NW India), came from Central Asia (Iran/Persia), across the passes, through the rugged NW Indian mountains, 3500 years ago. They were considered superior amongst races. During the days Hitler commandeered the supreme powers, he ordered young German girls to mate with Aryan men and produce a superior race, after he got rid of the Jews. A teenage beauty told me about this in a London dance hall. She was on a short holiday from Germany.

The world was attracted to India-The Golden Sparrow- for a) its wealth b) the brilliant brains of the educated Sanskrit Gurus, their high levels of achievement in the Art of Yoga, Transcendental Meditation, and c) its condiments. The literacy excellence of the Sanskrit language, the preaching of the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagvad Gita and above all the Hito-Updeshas, were really impressive. Hito-Updeshas means "advice, suited to help your well-being." These contain hundreds of couplets, giving good advice for reader's future and development. Some ruler like Chandra Gupta Maurya, was the showcase of India's greatness. He brought down Alexander the Great, and also renounced his greatest empire in the world. He walked away in penance, looking up to the Jain guru Mahabir.

National Library of India has authentic literature on Indian history, showing that the fabric of Indian and Persian Empire was expanding in 4th century BC. It stretched from Greece to India. The famous Alexander the Great was proud and an egoist man. He could not bear the humiliation of India being the "Intelligence Capital" of the world. He wanted to control, crush anyone of superior intelligence, and rule this great country, just like Central Asian, Russians, Mongols, Greeks, and Moguls before him did. He used his superior techniques of warfare, especially designed armors, and the art of bringing the prowess of elephants into mad hysteria as an unstoppable force to crush everything that came in their way! Passing through the formidable Khyber Pass, piercing through rugged mountain ranges of the Afghanistan, breezing through Punjab (like Hitler later took Poland over, in 2 hours), crossing the Beas River and on to the 64 gates in the huge Walls of Delhi built by the Moguls. They moved in waves reaching a crescendo, creating the biggest scare in the whole of India, especially amongst the defense forces! They destroyed over 570 buildings and four cities in 2000 BC but lost a high percentage of their army. They were worn out and exhausted. All the same, they were the superior forces that created a fear complex amongst the whole of India.

However, during the months taken by Alexander's forces, to reach from Khyber Pass to Bangalore. There was a trap being set up by a gentleman, an excellent war planner, the grandfather of Ashoka the Great, who was respected as a benevolent ruler marrying an ordinary girl and creating real unity amongst all sectors of society. It was Chandra Gupta Maurya He helped India to become a great Country. His grandson Ashoka was even greater. He maintained and spread the excellent heredity of Chandra Gupta.
