Oscar sb,
The Indian revolution against the British was successful
Ah! The Indian freedom movement or the "Revolution" as you style it. It was about as real as the intergalactic spaceships and cloning that our Hindoo ancestors invented. Sorry exaggerating. It was little more than a Boys Scout thingy. By end of WW1, the British Indian Empire had stopped making economic sense and the Brits would eventually have left anyway.
To give credit to the Indian "revolutionaries" including Chacha 420, they more or less rebranded the British governance structure (rather than try something fancy) and did as well as they could have given the dysfunctional social structure that we have. I suspect the Muslim "revolutionaries" would have done the same in Pakistan except for two unfortunate accidents- 1. Creation of one Pakistan state, rather than two 2. Botched up Kashmir transfer.
Regards
PS: I remember back in 2004 or 5 - was in my late teens- Wow! Didnt realise you are so much younger than me!
