RE:So now we know
by Maximus Decimus Meridius on Apr 30, 2007 10:35 AM

Chanakya vowed to destroy the Nanda dynasty just because he was insulted by the King. So, that's another example you forget. Was chanakya not an original thinker? Gandhi revolted against the british only after he was thrown out of a train. Before that he was a lawyer, educated and practising law in England. I dont know Ramaswamy's ideology and am sure he was responsible in part for the North vs south divide, but everything has an origin. I guess this was the proverbial last straw that broke the camel's back!
