HISTORY REPEATS?

My poser on Kashmir issue may be an issue comparable to what, are you aware?
Don't think it's an exaggeration when I say, it is comparable to nothing less than that epoch making event that escaped attention of the then rulers who mattered.
The event was the entry of the Britishers' East India Company, the traders.
Their entry by itself was never an issue, nor it ought to be.
The issue that passed as a non-issue in the reckoning of a non-suspecting , better say, naive Indian rulers, was the fact that the Company was an usually salutary trading Company, rather it was community of armed traders, hiding that stealth aggression which was more potent and lethal than those earlier registered by the several invaders who plundered this land in the preceding hundreds of years, if not more.
The aggression hidden in stealth form was overlooked or it could be a collusive pretence. Indian history is replete with acts of collusion , symbolised by the likes of Jaichands and Mir Zaffars.
The idea is not to read or write history, but only to see these historical facts in the modern context, to make out whether the historical characters are reborn, playing characters in new outfits.
The perspective starts from the pre-indepence days and en route independence, it has brought us to its present juncture where we are now on the thresh hold of liberation, lurked by its opposite.
Once out of step, history would be eager to repeat itself.
