Stealth Colonization

A time was when the Indian subcontinent was a colony of an empire where the sun never set. These days too it doesn't set, albeit for a long time, though now it is more natural phenomenon than a colonial one.

The times have changed today though, the persecutor is now the persecuted. Time was when our forefathers bore the brunt of their colonial masters. Today the erstwhile colonial masters dread in fear of what damage the children of their colonial subjects can inflict on them. Change that has happened in less than half a century.

Immigrants have a voice and they use it today. Some trigger happy MET Policeman shot a Brazilian who apparently looked Asian – and there was chaos and apprehension amongst the Indian Subcontinent community. In some form they are doing the same thing the colonial masters did to their ancestors. They, the colonial masters, followed the divide and rule policy on a community to whom territory mattered the most. Today the Indian Subcontinent community is doing the same, but this time taking advantage of being a vote bank. Maybe today it’s the vote bank, tomorrow the rulers. Who knows – Watch the History Channel maybe 50 years from now to know more.
