Blame it on the Warlords !

During the controversial Indias tour down under, when Rohit and Ishant Sharma were chasing the ball off a delicate coverdrive by Gilly, the non-Indian commentator asked Harsha Bhogle seriously if Rohit and Ishant were brothers !

Well, my knack of writing on weird topics, coupled by the mounting pressure on me regarding the upcoming semester exams is probably the reason why am writing on this.

Digging up the monarchical history books of India, one finds that not just the kingdom but king's name is inherited by their successor. The idea of Chandragupta VI is not that fascinating especially for 10th graders, who are flustered by the Roman Numerals and finally ending up writing Maurya the V 's mom as Maurya III 's wife. Not a big deal of concern for us but Maurya IV will definitely mind !
West is infested with the same problem, right from Queen Elizabeth to Louis (roman numeral)...

The Indian emperors, apart from being good samaritans n skilled warlords, were efficient practitioners of polygamy, or infact epitomizing the term ! The royal bloodline itself accounting for a mini empire within an empire, withe everyone sharing the same second name is maybe the reason for the daunting no. of people having the same second name in North India...

So back to the wise commentators, if everyone having Sharma as a second name are brothers, then Ishant (no offense) has easily thousands of brothers and not even the most raunchy pervert of a polygamist dad can ever account for it !

For all such foreigners who share the same perspective that India is a land of Mukherjee,Sharma,Chopra,Singh,Patels,Khan and the rest, welcome...
