If I am not wrong you were one of the UPSC topper during 80s.

You make points which deserve serious and proper attention. The Americans made their declaration of independence at the request of France in return for its support. Indian indepence was not so much won as legislated by an Act of Parliament at Westminster. I remember as a student American students said how much they detested the red coats who ravaged their country. The peculiarities of Hindu history has welcomed all manner of miscreants to dominate over them and this cycle has to be broken by the power of self belief in yourselves and those who you should hold close to you. The catalogue of wrongs angainst will endlessly be added in the meantime, but that is the only light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could say that Hinduism has the answers, but that would be misleading. If that was the case India wouls not suffered so much for so long.

I also want India to succeed but from London in the home of the former colonisers I see a diffrent angle, you are quick to blame india curroptions etc no doubt true but you forget bharat miserably recent history which must not repeat 150 british rule etc. I found it very useful to read the Declaration of Independence of the US where is declaration of INDEPENDENCE there is none what INDIA stands for and DIES for.
