Indians usually think smart after the event.A brief look at history: a few thousand Muslim invaders from distant lands (Persia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan) took control of Hindustan for 8 centuries and millions of cowardly Hindus could do nothing about it - except play with cows, argue on caste, perform weird rituals in temples, apply dots or dashes on their foreheads. Why couldn't they organise and expel the invaders? Next came the Brits and it was the same thing for another 200 years. Gandhi knew that his countrymen could not fight the Muslim or white man; so he wisely chose the non-violent path to independence.No use mourning now that the Brits robbed them. Indians should be grateful that the Brits introduced them to lots of concepts, infrastructure, technology and institutions (roads, railways, telephone, postal service, democracy, state, parliament, Speaker, universities etc). The Indian National Congress was created not by Indians but by a Brit (Alan Hume). Would there be any Indian intellectuals without the British? About the Kohinoor diamond: guess what Prime Minister Vajpayee said when asked to press the Brits to return the Kohinoor: he said India had good relations with Britain. Why spoil them??
