what irks me and forces me to go quiet and shut up is when my fellow Indian and Pakistani friends Educate me that British Raj was blessing and we wont have gotten to where we are now... but on the contrary what I see our Indian ancestors (even during political turmoil) achieved in almost every single thing that has a "modern" and "technological progression" tag was done by us.. ok .. on our own we might have taken some time but we sure would have discovered everything that gave west the means to lead the world.Brits did all those in sub continent to facilitate their own exploitation in our resources .
Europeans were always cunning in there attitude .Our ancestors during BC was good enough to understand this ,I have read it somewhere where during Mauryan rule ,Chanakya secretly initiated the assassinations of all Yavanas and Half Yavanas in our nation , both in royal family and in military .
Unfortunately those people in middle ages couldnt do anything .
this thread has triggered something in me.. people from both sides of my family were hung ..and their children sent across the seas to fight the wars and were told the empire was merciful to them. for giving them the chance to fight for the king.
Gandhi did the right thing by striking the Raj when it was weak otherwise we would have been slaves for maybe another 50 or 60 years like Namibia . but these scum had the last laugh by crating a chaos of 1947 partition when people on either side were not prepared for it resulting in what Jaswant Singh terms as a C section of Indian sub continent.. and boy it hurt .. it hurt back then and it will continue to hurt us for sometime due to our territorial disputes.
on topic, rest in peace to our forefathers who suffered
