The story is about this man above, he is known as Robert Clive. As a child, he was completely unruly. He was said to be “ overly addicted to fighting ”. Every other day he had a fistfight with someone. His teachers could not control his wild energy. Once he climbed the tower of St. Mary Parish church and started frightening people from there. In another instance, he climbed another tower and started throwing stones at people passing by. There was no way to restrict his unbridled nature.
As he grew up to be a teenager, he formed a gang and started a PROTECTION RACKET, and people chose to pay the boy than to face this rebel gang. Three times, he was expelled from schools. Finally, his frustrated father decided to take serious steps. At the age of 17, this troublesome teenager was sent to Madras to work as an assistant shopkeeper.

A rowdy boy like him could have better died than live the life of a clerk. Being badly suffocated in life, he decided to commit SUICIDE. HE SHOT HIMSELF TWICE, AND BOTH TIMES HIS PISTOL REFUSED TO GO OFF. This was a miracle, a message from the Gods themselves. After that, he thought that something is left for him to do in life.

Almost single-handedly, he laid the foundation of the British empire in India. He eliminated all the other European powers in India including the Dutch, Portuguese and most importantly the French. He conquered Bengal in the battle of Plassey (1757). He was the one to organize the military of East India Company and the man to introduce the idea of recruiting Indian people and train them to make an efficient British army. He made the infrastructure of British administration in India. He created the base of the British empire in India. From Robert Clive, he evolved into Lord Clive.
And all this could not have happened, there would have been no British empire, but for that LUCKY PISTOL.
