As children, we felt a chill of excitement when we heard how Ali Baba, a poor wood-cutter from the forest, found a treasure in a cave full of gold. It gave us goosebumps. Similarly, many other stories had such enticing thrill when the character of the novel or the movie suddenly finds abundant wealth. The story of the Sub-Continent is much similar and gives sequential resemblance. A colonizer, in long search of raw-material and wealth, suddenly finds a goose that lays golden eggs. It, with political and colonial acumen, colonizes the region.
