If wealth to pursue an expansionist programme were all that was needed, would not the booty obtained from Hindu rajas have sufficed? |
For that matter, history books that dwell on stories of rajas and maharajas who met at a tea break might be recalled. |
The rajas were left untouched despite demands for independence, self-rule and decolonization elsewhere. |
We are conditioned more by the lower gunas of rajas and tamas whereas they are conditioned by the higher quality of sattva guna. |
The rajas, ranis, peshwas and nawabs had their own cohorts, extended to include the mutinous sepoys. |
The other two potentialities described in the Sankhya philosophy, rajas, physical dynamism and tamas, insensibility, are rendered ineffective. |
