Arun, Re: "freedom of movement" I meant that you had more freedom of movement under the Brits than you have now as there were no guarded borders to cross as there are now between the various nations created out of British India. And I would have supposed that you had freedom of movement before also, especially for the pilgrims. The Brits may have helped the pilgrimage in one regard; they eliminated the religious sect known as the "Thugee" (whose name is the basis of the English word "Thug"). The Thugee would hide in remote places along a roadway and waylay travelers and pilgrims, then ritually murder them as a sacrifice to (I think the Goddess Kali). The Brits put these guys out of business about 1840 and provided the language with a new word at the same time. <g> Slagle
