India is country that has never belonged
to its natives Two thousand years ago
Alexander and his Greeks led dusky captives
in golden fetters from there to Athens. At
ter him it became the prize of Parthian bows
and Scythian spears. Then came Moham-
med and his Persians from Ghuxee to teach
by ci'neter the new theology, "Allah il Al
lab, and Mohammcd is his prophet Then
the Afghans drove out the Persians. Then
the Tartars drove out the Afghans. Then
came Timour, the terrible Tartar, and the
long and princely line Of Great Moguls, Ba-
Der and Akbar, Jchangire and Aurengzcbe.
The Mogul Empire got, like the British, too
big to hold together. Down went the throne
at Delhi, and up spranga crop Of Viceroys,
Nizams, Kings, Shahs, Rajahs, Newaubs,,
and Nabobs all over the provinces. About
this time H. B. NJ. East India Company
came to trade, and stayed to rule. By ca.
