Correct and we drove them out with the help of Hitler( 2nd world war) after learning everything from them. That should be the spirit. There is no point in beleiving that we would have been so great if they did not rule us. We were little kingdoms like Marathas moghuls chalukyas pandys etc who were constatntly at war with each other. We will still be riding in bullock carts and human pulled carts as it is still happening in places which is not touched by progress. It is just plain vain glory to beleive we were so great and honey and milk were flowing in our rivers and gold was harvested in wheat fields. Sure Brits looted a lot just like the Moghuls but we got some thing out of them and got rid of Mullah rule. That must be the biggest grudge of some people like Abbas Rescued. That is his problem.
