Raghu,
would you agree that back in India you will still find upper-caste old
men ruing the day the British left? The East India Company did not
gain dominance, AFAIK, without the support of locals (by which I do
not mean the hapless sepoys and working class). While the example I
offer is not equivalent (to the imperialist state's people of colour
supporting imperialism), it negates your claim above.
Jerry,
I am glad to see that Mohammed has come to the obstinate mountain! ;-)
Welcome (once again?) to PEN-L. As always, it is a joy to read your
clear analysis, including the times when I disagree with you!
