A Small Group of Clever People Rule

Often we watch a documentary on wildlife on the TV in which a few lionesses are shown hunting a buffalo for food. We feel pity for the prey and fault the huge herd of fellow buffalos that simply stand and watch the lionesses tear out one of their family members. We think why do not they attack the lionesses and save their brother. At last, when they start eating the dead beast we exclaim, “You stupid buffalos!" This is what happens to the common people of the country who though in great number, become easy prey to politicians and goons. They are killed, exploited and treated as pet animals while the whole crowd stand and watch, powerless to help each other, as though the entire group has no logic of its own. It means a small group of clever people rule and a huge herd is ruled. A small troop of Mughals took possession of the large country like India and then a few of the British grabbed hold of their thrones. A few Jews are mightier than their neighbouring countries. Let them expand their communities – we, the upper castes, need not be mixed up with the herd for being stronger. What though we are so few in number, we have ever ruled the country and we will rule it again. Only we need to hunt the herds cleverly.
