Hi, thanks for this post, it is very interesting to me.
I have read this quote elsewhere also but have not been able to understand what he meant by it which made the King 'realise his mistake', according to someone's blog.
Also, I am so surprised to hear of the Gilgit people's reservation in India's elite institutions.
Why does it remind you of what Kunjan Namibiar said of the lamp post?
