    It was unexpected even at her age. She will never be forgotten not only because she was queen but because she was the best monarch i can think of. A legendary reign we all lived to see. And honestly i feel like charles will be a good king. He is mature and not a child anymore. I trust him and i hope he does a good job. God save the King. Feels weird to say that when my granparents were born the queen ruled the Empire. Now she doesnt. The first time i hear the new old anthem is going to feel so strange and unnatural.

Many millions of families are living because of their rule , system, government,and job opportunities 🙏🙏🙏 India or depressed or oppressed people of the world will remember you always. In 1891, the gymvvvy Chingleput collector J. H. A. Tremenheere submitted his study on socio-economic condition of Dalits in Tamil Nadu to the British administration.[2]( King George , England,) Based on his recommendation Depressed Classes Land Act was passed on September 30 under Government Order No 1010/10-A (revenue) 1892. And 12 lakh acres were assigned to Dalits across Tamil Nadu.{ On the request of missionaries,) In TAMIL NADU, Oppressed people were asked to tie a pot around their neck when they entered the village or city or passed a high caste home . Only a Brahmin can have education. But now our chief minister Mr. STALIN gave opportunities to all caste to become priests . He himself is from a most backwards ,his relationships are doing barber shops ,, A high caste ( they call themselves so ) here still uses a BARBERS caste to undershave their bride grooms as a part of their marriage ritual using this caste 😁😁😁,, Slavery ,, Slavery to even a caste of Hon Chief MINISTER of Tamil Nadu.🙏🙏🙏( But originally they are Pipers but we know their relationship are running Barber shops,,my dad sent us me and my brother to learn cutting and shaving so that we will have a job in future if education doesn't pay us a job ,,)( my dad said only after or during this period God REVEALED himself to my dad ,,) Pray for our safety . I filed a case in our high court in 2007 . Noon meal scheme or lot of lakes or dams or slavery of women devadasi ,, democracy,police ,jobs , railways,,across the world are by BRITISH rule God bless uk God bless UK people.🙏👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
