Ramesh, I don't understand all the laments about the British should still have been here. And how will the British care more about our people than us? The only infrastructure they built was when it benefitted them and at our cost. When the British were here, we were exporting food during famines. Our famines were so severe that whole portions of our population were wiped out. We have not had a single famine since independence. Let us give our young democracy more time - we have been independent (left in poverty after being looted by the British) for only 2 generations and have made a lot of progress, though it doesn't seem so in the midst of this tragedy. We have a long way to go and many major reforms to make the dismal govt sit up. Don't praise the British but elect politicians based on their performance and don't let them play their divisive politics for our votes! We make the govt, we need to elect wisely and make them 'listen'.
