"If the colonists hadn't rejected British militarism and the massive financial burden of maintaining the British military, America wouldn't exist."

I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons. In the evening, in our living room, the only subject we used to discuss was politics. So politics was not unfamiliar to me.
