thank you Simon, so much to think about as always.

As an aside, the relationship between the British aristocracy and the royal of houses of India is fascinating. A good book about an interesting figure is Anita Anand's "Sophia: Princess, Suffragette, Revolutionary" - about the granddaughter of Maharjah Ranjit Singh, who was raised at Hampton Court Palace, as the Goddaughter of Queen Victoria. All of the complexities of the Anglo-Indian experience and history contained in one life.
