THE LAST OF THE PEISHAWAS 2R5 THE LAST OF THE PEISHAWAS I THE treatment which the last Peishawa received at the hands of the English was only a shade less cruel and tyrannical than that which their prototypes the Spanish are charged with in their dealings with the monarchs of Peru and Mexico. [...] To fully understand the nature of the treatment which Baji Rao received at the hands of the English we have to turn our attention to that period of Indian history when the Duke of Wellington was commaning the combined forces of the allies in the Deccan. [...] Elphinstone thought it his duty to submit the King's proposal to the Government of Calcutta alluding at the same time to the departure of the British envoy from Ilyderabid and assuming therfore that the proposal might fall in with the views of the Government. [...] Next in line came the purchase of Alaska the conquest of Hawaii then the annexation of Cuba and the deliberate destruction of the native Philippine Government followed by the annexation of these islands. [...] The new century marked the opening of a new epoch— the beginning of world dominion for the United States." The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few ( today 10 percent of the American people own and control 93 percent of the wealth 1 is simply and clearly developed.
