I do. I’m rather impressed with India. They suffered under colonialism just like Africa, but they got their act together (even through some rough times and bloodshed). Yea, they made mistakes, but they didn’t STAY in them. I wish sub-Saharan Africa would do the same. The one thing I think India needs to throw off is the caste system.

I really think the difference with how the countries fared post-colonialism has to do with who colonized them. English=relatively stable; French/Portuguese= disaster.
