If you often wonder how the court poets found time to glorify kings and queens but rarely wrote about the lives of common people — their struggles, economy, and society — then we’re on the same boat, brother. And if you tend to categorize every royal figure with the simple conclusion that, after all, he was a king and she was a queen, then we’re on the same boat, brother.
Whenever we want to know about the common people, we rarely find any royal accounts other than travelogues. Thank God travellers came to India; otherwise, it would have become a land comprising kings and queens without praja. We have beautiful art and architecture, but we forgot their architects, yet we remember the kings’ names. The salutations to royalty, no matter which period, made us the senseless entities of the time. So sad! So unfair to humanity.
Now, we are blessed to live in a democratic society. So please don’t go back to the past of royal kings and queens — we don’t need it. Learn from your past; don’t just memorise the facts and figures. Google is there to assist us with all those things.
