The British took over India one by one and not through an initial great war. Study the wealthy families of India and see how much der...

What's wrong with us.. I also shudder to think of the abuse the child must have endured growing up with such a parent. Never forget that corporal punishment is a continuum. It can build up to so much more. We really need to sensitize parents and families. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/madhya-...
