Colonization was one of the best things that happened to bring modernization to India. All Nobel laureates came during that time. Colonization and partition reinstated the values of education, industrialization, secularism, democracy, one-law at least for non-muslim majority, uniform civil code, gender equality, research, development, science and technology and we continued on the same values of human civilization. What India has achieved in such a volatile neighbourhood with religious madness going on and yet the fact that democracy did not falter, shows the inherent strength of the nation and its people. There will always be problems but within all that one has to push oneself in body and mind and strive to excel in various ways and get inner fulfillment in life. At the end, that is what matters. Slavery is a state of mind. Was Tagore or CV Raman slaves?
