Reminds me of some 'Mentalities' in Goa, who would detest 'RANES' because their clan fought against the Portuguese. The great Shivaji Bhonsle, the leader of masses, fought against the atrocities of invading Moughals and the British to establish 'Swaraj' or the 'secular kingdom' of the natives. Anyway, ignorance is bliss indeed-- you cannot win an argument which is not based on facts.
