Asaf Jah story. India did not invade and annexxe Hyderabad; it is a city and state in India! The Nizam wanted to be its own country; pretty much like how Quebec at times wants to leave Canada.

i wonder how the really rich feel? i mean, u get everything u want..i like to work and dream for things i long for… that keeps me going everyday..
i wonder how it feels to be rich, but wealth is not everything. furthermore, they say, the more you get, the more you want
Interesting. But I’m sure the majority of the peoples of the world do not need, and neither do they crave, for this kind of riches. Here in Africa, perhaps our politicians do. And they do their best to steal it.
What’s the point of so much money. Those guys you listed above are all dead; their money can’t help them now. Better to try to do some good in the world than become really rich.
