History Repeats Itself

In good old times under the rule of great king Maho, the treasury & banking operations of his kingdom were entrusted to a minister named Baho. Minister Baho worked hard and managed well the operations of treasury & banking. It benefitted inhabitants as well as king Maho. After all the treasury was for the welfare of the inhabitants despite the differences in colours of their skins and difference in their faiths and difference in shapes of their eyes. Minister Baho had appointed a chieftains, sub-chieftains and many sub-sub-chieftains in various towns and bazaars. Minister Baho earned great respect and recognition from the inhabitants of the kingdom due to his untiring efforts. But you are aware that no one can live forever.

Health of minister Baho was declining and it was being carefully watched by a big landlord Ghato. He was no doctor but his wish of life was to capture the ministry of treasury & banking. He was seeing opportunity coming his way as minister Baho was getting weaker by the day. He consulted his astrologer, his trusted friends & prepared a roadmap. First road shall lead to the palace of queen which shall be travelled by his wife. Suitable jewellery & gifts were packed for the queen. Second road will go to jungle for hunting by the Prince to be followed by son of Ghato. Fully loaded team for the purpose was organised. Ghato himself will take care of some of the ministers in the cabinet of His Highness Maho. Their gift boxes and invitations were ordered. Ghato was now looking for his deputies.

He spotted a suitable hand named Hencho from across five rivers who promised to eliminate anybody on slightest hint given by Ghato. He would not rest till ministry of treasury & banking was cleaned as per wishes of the new boss Ghato. He said he was all thorough his life a lower rung henchman but if given promotion he was ready to do anything. He said he knew how to scare people and to push them in a corner. Scaring the people gives great inner joy & satisfaction he said.

The Hunter

Soon Ghato became minister and Hencho also started getting some piece of action. Minister Ghato handed over a list of rogue staff of treasury & banking operations and sub-chieftains etc to Hencho for action. 

Part of secret list shared between Minister Ghato and his henchman Hencho has been obtained and is produced here along with action taken report submitted by Hencho. Please keep this to yourself or else.

Minister Ghato - Instead of arranging free supply of chicken & mutton to royal kitchen this chieftain of bazaar named AKS, himself demands free chickens from supplier. I don’t like this. Please take action. 

ATR of Hencho – The chieftain AKS has been charged with unbecoming behaviour with a client last year & also shifted away from family to eastern hills as sub-chieftain. His sub has been made sub of a sub-chieftain in western hills. Their guard has been dismissed. Area has been cleared for appointment of person of choice Your Highness Ghato!

Minister Ghato - Chieftain of town BKS, is always short of business targets given to him. He always agrees with given targets in meetings but thereafter he forgets the targets. What’s wrong with him? 

ATR of Hencho – He has been threatened with dire consequences and posting into far flung areas. He has been booked for lapses committed seven years back. You would have enjoyed looking at him when he was booked – perplexed Your Highness Ghato!

Minister Ghato - Chieftain of Lower Bazaar CKS, is not seen in bazaar area during the day. How is that? Is he not interested in business? 

ATR of Hencho - Horse provided to him has been seized thereby reducing his horsepower. Warned & threatened him Your Highness Ghato! Things should improve now.

Hencho carried on the executions as and when asked by Minister Ghato. In due time he  learnt about history of Minister Ghato and his tricks of getting into the cabinet. Soon Hencho started preparing a team & in a short while eliminated Minister Ghato & took over the ministry in a silent coup.

After becoming a minister Hencho came in direct contact with the king Maho & started cultivating relationship with him. He soon found out weakness of the king & by attending to the weakness he gained the confidence of king. Slowly his ambition grew & he started preparing for final assault on the king. He built up a team headed by Tippo & after a while he ousted the king Maho in a coup. Hencho declared himself to be the king.

Hencho appointed Tippo as his minister of treasury & banking operations. Tippo put in his best & things improved a lot. In due course he learnt about history of previous ministers & he also became ambitious.

Well, history was about to repeat itself.

No mistake this time!
