India tells Britain: We don't want your aid

Where would this forum be without you Andy?

My other posts were a bit more substantial in fairness.

Well, might as well get my monies worth, i've paid for the priviledge to post on here, be like refusing to go to St Marys because everyone around me is a c*ck.

 

That's true, Saintsweb is the St Marys of forums, whereas UI is...?... Fratton.

So you aren't in fact back here posting on the sad old sellout board at the first opportunity you get - but are in fact joshing and bantering with your passionate fellow forum posters on the UI. Got it.

First thank the British for making India what it Is today. If it wasn't for the British we would not be one country, but smaller kingdoms fighting against each other. Or rather, we might have been taken over by French, spanish, Dutch, Portuguese or some other power...which would have been worse. In the 17th and 18th century that's what the world's powers were doing- invading and conquering, so it isn't like we would have been left alone had it not been for the British. British were way milder than any of other mentioned powers. gandhi would have been shot point blank, had it been the Portuguese, Germans, or Spanish. They gave has railroads, modern system of government, postal system, set up the telephone and telegraphic system, built dams, canals, colleges, schools, sewerage system... all that we still use today. They left us with beautiful cities like Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta, madras...which we have managed to turn into giant overpopulated garbage dumps. They abolished the sati system, child marriage system, abolished the jizya tax, introduced industrial revolution....the list is endless. There are accounts of the British ICS officers supervising road construction in the sweltering summer heat personally on horsebacks. Which DC would do that today? Who knows, We still might have been under moghuls. English being the language of science and commerce in India has enabled us to become an IT superpower and BPO giant. our students are able to study abroad and compete with the best....none of which would have possible without english. We would have probably been fighting over which regional language should be made the lingua Franca in india...just like we still advent been able to settle Hindi's status. And btw, when one goes to England today, the British come across as extremely civilized, well mannered, and cultured people. Can we say the same about ourselves?
