How 'they' occupied India!!
Even in India, there are people who are of the opinion that the colonial British created the idea of a political union called India and provided the tools and institutions needed to hold the union together. However, we need to keep in mind a few points that the concept of “Bharatvarsha” was mentioned in the epic of Mahabharata and Bharata or India was described as a single cultural and also a large political entity. In famous ancient text of India the “Vishnu Purana” specifically describes this land as the ‘Varsha’ (which means piece of land) which is ‘Aasamudra Himachal’ i.e surrounded by Himalayas in the north and by sea in the south, so if anybody sees the map of India can easily relate to that. Then, under the emperor Ashoka in 300 BCE, large parts of the subcontinent enjoyed cultural and administrative unity. On the other hand, 200 years colonial rule did not unite the Indians, instead, they took every possible step to divide us, so that, it becomes easy for them to rule us. The Hindu caste system became more rigid and the communal lines between Hindus and Muslims deepened during British rule in India. Their cruel taxation system destroyed Indian economy and made Britain rich enough to prosper and rule a large portion of the globe as British colonies. Railways, post offices were established so that this large country may be properly administered by them and not for the welfare of the native Indians. We experienced the massacres like Jalianwalabag and deaths of millions of Indians in the man-made famines during the rule. Finally, at the time of leaving India the colonial masters partitioned the Indian subcontinent on communal lines in to India and Pakistan.

He had no fear; he believed the forest was alive and kind, watching over him like a guardian.
