discover india

In my las post I had been dicussing about imperial coronation durbar delhi 1911. It was a function to organise the coronation of King George Vth . I t was organised in Delhi instead of Calcutta as was sheduled earler. In a royal function what happens that all the big dignatories are invited and if I am not wrong in this case so called big dignatories were eager to be invited. And if not they were ever willing to be present in the celeberation ceremony even uninvited to proove their loyality to the crown at the expenses beyound their means. Not much of them were permitted entrance to this main functions and majority of them were waiting outside the boundries of main function. All of them were so called kings of one or another states in India. Behind everyone of such a king there was a huge crow of their followers raising sologan in praise of their respective so called Maharajas. The Maharajas in turn had made sufficient arrangment for the well being of thier subjects. Big shamiyanas(Canopies) were installed out the venue of main function to accomodate these people. A very large kitchen was arranged to prepare samptuous food for these people and every one of them was given cash money to enable them to enjoy the life of newly constitute capital of slave India. In such a function a large force of temporary labour is also need to make arrangements for such diginfied people. In one such kitchen a person named GULA was working as a sheff responsible to make necessary arrangement of food for the subjects of one of the Maharajas who was not allowed entry into the main function. Mr. GULA unfotunately has brought his little son of 10 years old along with him as there was no body at his home to take care of his son. One night when food was beeing preparied and served to the subjects of this Maharaja the son of Mr. Gulla was standing nearby the conopey where the food was bein served. It had been since morning that this child was standing over there without any food AND HE WAS FEELING VERY HUNGRY. One of the servants asked him to serve the popular dish to the guests which contained delicius pieces of milk made sweet poplarly know as BARFI. He was feeling hungry since morning while holding the dish full of sweet he could not sustain the temptation of eating one very small piece of this dish. Although he had eaten one small piece very claverly but was cought by the guard on duty while eating the small piece. He was got cought red handed and thereafter who were eating inside the canopy and had already over eaten to their capicity started bashing on this little boy. A slap from each of participent made the boy to breath his last although he was emty stomech.
