History has a strange way of rewarding traitors and turncoats with land, power and wealth, turning them into elites. Then history goes packs her bags and leaves, leaving fate and destiny in the hand of the elites. Family background which is considered the cement of society has nothing to do with wealth or elitism.
Yes, very sad but whose basic needs, Elites want Serf's not thinkers. Some ones land on which a train travels for 24 hrs, how is he going to look after his lands if people are educated? How do you stop him from getting elected who has hundreds of villages on his land? We are in thrall. South Asia=Dynastic Politics.
