Like many Indians I know, my greatest regret is that our glorious empire was forcibly dismantled by Yankee bullying when we were at our weakest, having saved the world from Nazism.
I merely contend that these superhumans drank gin and tonic for medicinal purposes only, and that their drink of choice was the whisky and soda, known in the East as the stengah.
No gentleman would drink gin as a matter of choice.
