{\Large Comment: Whether it was Alexander the Great's attack on the East
of Indus to acquire control over the wheat cultivation, rule of
Joseph Stalin in erstwhile USSR, the American actions in Vietnam to
Iraq or differential treatment offered by IMF to nuclear Russia
vis-A-vis the poor African states they seem to follow a simple law of
the world beautifully summarised by a Marathi Poet Justice D V Gadre
allias kAvyavihArI in his simple but powerful poem ``hA nyAya ase
jagAcha''   The poem was penned sometime between the late 1950 or 60s
and it still stands the test of time. The poem is  reproduced below.}##
