When God created the world, he could not help boasting to Brahma of the special favours he had bestowed on India. "I gave it the highest mountains and the broadest rivers in the world; I gave it coal, gold and diamond mines. I gave it the best of everything." "Was it fair to give one country so much wealth ?" asked Brahma. "You should see the kind of people I put in India. They will waste everything I gave them." |
