Best example is the rule of Aurangazeb. He was not the suitable candidate to rule his father's empire. He has tortured and killed many innocent peoples.

How/ Instead Shahjehan and his father Jahangir wasted public money for their lust. Aurangzeb was simple and he ruled without wasting public money. he would write copies of Holy book and live on income by sale of those books. Aurangjeb was the ablest sons of Shahjehan and so he got the throne.

History records numerous tales of misery wrought upon the people by abuses of powers vested in wrong hands. Not only the people suffered - its wielders too at times were the victims. What do you think?

Ceemji,
A simple doubt. :whistle: :whistle:
Is this question related to history and politics only? :blink:
You all know am weak in these subjects :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Also, power in wrong hands/ misuse of power is applicable to every field, not only history and politics. Isn't it? :evil: :evil: :whistle: :whistle: :S :S

Although I am no admirer of imperialist Churchil but his comments on Indian leaders have great relevance in today's context and I quote:Power will go to the hands of rascals,rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts.They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.

He was not too far off the mark! What do you say?

I have always believed in old saying that says a little power to undeserving one makes hem/her feel some one out of the world who wants to show it off at every possible way, applicable or not applicable even at the cost of becoming laughing stock.

We have a proverb....
Alppanu aiswaryam kittiyaal artharathri kuda pudikkum.....

If an 'Alpan' (can't find its English word :dry: , very poor, but not deserving...something like that :whistle: :whistle: ) becomes rich(very suddenly) , he will open his Umbrella even at midnight :S :S . (That means he will show it to the whole world)
Disastrous translation :evil: :blink: :S :S :S :S
