Oh really!!!! If that's true then its payback time!!!Let give the stupid queen and her husband the Gandhi peace prize for spreading peace and democracy!!!!/sarcasm

The only reason british came to India was to exploit her wealth.They modernised and united india for their own benefit. So stop making a virtue of necessity !!!

You're misreading my post. I didn't say the British had good intentions. I said that modern India would most likely not be a single country if it weren't for British Colonial rule. Interestingly, the same could probably be said of the United States.

I will go further, and say that the Indians managed to take the best from Britain, despite the ills they suffered under them. The same effect can be seen in Roman rule. People took away the ideal, despite the obvious miscarriage of those ideals by the Romans themselves.
