Excerpt: ..

. The Sequoias of California No tale of the forest is complete without some account of the giant sequoias of California, which are among the largest and oldest trees in the world.

The sequoias or big trees are relics of another age. Long, long ago these giants of the forest first began to grow.

Centuries have passed, but still they live, vigorous and mighty as of old. Many thousand years ago these aged trees grew all over the northern half of the earth.

Sequoias turned to stone have been found in Greenland. Greenland then was "green" indeed, a lovely spot on the earth's surface.

Now it is a frozen waste; these stone trees alone remind us of what it was like ages ago. To-day, in the twentieth century, but a few of these sequoias remain.

Their home is on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California, where they grow more than a mile above the level of the sea. These trees of wonderful age were first discovered less than a hundred years ago.

In 1841 an old hunter and explorer named John Bid well was making a trip on foot through the mountain woodlands of eastern California. One day he came upon a group of monster trees.

There were at least a hundred of them standing together. He had never seen trees half so large as these, and when he returned to his home he told his friends wonderful tales of the forest giants he had seen.

Those trees are now owned by the government of the United States. They form what is known as the Calaveras Grove.

During the last few years the government has bought several groves of these big trees. But into some of the groves men had already gone and, with ax and saw, and even gunpowder, destroyed many of the noble old trees.

The sequoias are so lasting that, even when fallen, they lie on the ground for hundreds of years without ..

Over the last few years, however, he has had reason to feel that the worst, perhaps, is still to come. In this fierce, uncompromising book he shows us what few of us wish to see: why it is entirely likely that India will come undone in the foreseeable future.

Analysing the communal violence in Gujarat in 2002, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the burning of Graham Staines and his children, the targeted killings by terrorists in Punjab and Kashmir, Khushwant Singh forces us to confront the absolute corruption of religion that has made us among the most brutal people on earth. He also points out that fundamentalism has less to do with religion than with politics.

And communal politics, he reminds us, is only the most visible of the demons we have nurtured and let loose upon ourselves. Insurgencies in Kashmir and the North-East, caste wars in Bihar, scattered Naxalite movements, and the ghettoization of minorities are proof that our obsession with caste and regional and racial identity has also splintered the nation, perhaps beyond repair.
