  I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances
  on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil
  servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord
  Krishna and the cost of living.
	James Cameron, News Chronicle 1957, in What a way to run the tribe
	1968

  Our title to India depends on a first condition, that our being there is
  profitable to the Indian nationsl and on a second condition, that we can
  make them see and understand it to be profitable.
	WE Gladstone, quoted in Wilfred Scawen Blunt, India Under Ripon, 1909
