I'm sure that helps you think well of yourself.

Thankfully the British kept a meticulous record of the beautiful civilization they destroyed with utmost cruelty.

India was much more advanced than Britain at the time. Now the thief claims to be a civilizer ? Irony has known no bounds.

I don't think I can argue much with nationalism. India has had nearly 70 years now without colonialism

I think you may find a large proportion of grandparents who will say the positive developments aren't anywhere to be found. Though there have been some nice things going on like having no one rule & no one to opress.

From my point of view, better the British than the Mughals.

If you're a keen scholar of history you may also find that if it were not for the British India would be many many small countries today.

I'm not sure if that counts but it would have had a different sort of destruction this way, perhaps it may have turned out better. Would you say secessionist states today are good for India?

Nation \neq Civilization.

If I were a fish, I'd want not to be eaten. I don't care two bits whether I'm fried in margarine or in butter (to paraphrase Nehru).

Enough said.
