Culturally that made admirable use of the region's great wealth, but politically and militarily it made it an easy prey for conquerors and ultimately (notably British) colonialism, with indirect rule by Hindu princes under the Muslim Mohols. Gandhi's Independence would overthrow the princes in two (soon three) republics. Written by KGF Vissers See less
