For countries such as India, the figures are gory.
History repeats itself, not in the exact same way, but in a way that reminds us of the tumultuous past. It was some fateful day in the 1850s when Charles Dickens wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."
