India had more wealth than the whole of Europe, middle-east and China put together.!! All foreign invaders were attracted only by the wealth which was present in India.
Two centuries of British exploitation, completely ravaged India. By the time the British left in 1947, India had become extremely weak and improvished.
It's a paradox. Sri. Aurobindo said, "Nature tried everything she could to unite the
whole of India, but couldn't. So Nature finally resorted to foreign invasions to unite the whole of India."
What he probably meant is that, Nature intended a united India, which would be better to spread the message of enlightenment. A divided and fragmented India is extremely dangerous and undesirable.
An Australian missionary Graham Staines was burnt alive along with his two sons in January 1999. It created a huge controversy in India. In fact his wife Gladys Staines still works in India. It doesn't make sense for Maharishi to enter into this messy controversy.

Your concern is touching and I applaud you for it.
I find your postings really interesting. Only, perhaps you are not aware that your comments could be interpreted as insulting towards Indians and are yourself inciting racial hatred. Are you implying Indians are unfamiliar with their own history? Or are not smart enough to have a mind of their own? That we are easily influenced by who you say is a raving lunatic?

In your obvious frustrations towards an Indian guru you should be
careful not to offend a whole nation.
I recommend you read some good and reliable history books to
understand what effects the Râj had and how British measures adopted in the past continue to affect India today.
