I have been meaning to write about the Tea Party of American politics for some time. But the ever escalating ridiculousness of the Tea Partiers' bald faced lies and innuendos is so maddening that it has kept me from composing a coherent post. Perhaps more on that later.
Instead of High Noon at the GOP sponsored High Tea, let me look back at another time in another place. Here are some historic pictures of India that you might enjoy. Click on the thumbnails to see the enlarged images.
