this is amazing
Thank you!
Makes me wonder why it is called The Star of India. Shouldn’t it be more like The Star of Ceylon? 🙂
Blame the British. When it was found, it was all India back then and all Britain’s too.
Ha ha the ‘evil colonial empire’. In India nowadays one of our politicians is all agog about spreading the thought and that people should stop daydreaming about days of the Raj (which I am guilty of).
