One always has to take a deep think and try to take in some excellent give and take on FR on this post. Perhaps these contracts for armaments do have a bearing. One can imagine the "party time" for the bureaucrats when these so called foreign aid grants are received. Something like the charitable agencies that take most money for "administration". This side of the Atlantic.
Fwiw. the last massacre in India by the British was at Amritsar 1919. Machine guns in armoured cars opened fire on demonstrators against British rule. 400 dead, a 1000 wounded. The British parliament condemned fiery General Dwyer for this.
Queen Elizabeth 11 humbled herself in 1997 on a visit to India, wearing some form of non european garment. She was born after the massacre. Her grandfather ruled then.
Who in their right mind would want to rule India? Besides the stories from Jim Corbett what exactly enriched the West by turning them into being a colony?
