We have become first-class imitators. There is a story in this regard. It was 1914. World War one was in progress, and the high court judges were on their tiffin hour. "Mr Mukerjee," a high court judge said to Ashutosh Mukerjee, "now the Germans are coming. What are you going to do?" "We shall offer our respects to them and invite them to do as they will," replied Mr Mukerjee. This answer startled the Englishman. "Why do I say that? You have simply taught us to be servants. Our business is to receive. You have trained us as servants."
