Mr Raghavan, It is not because of British, that a person like me and you call ourselves Indian.Its because Iron Man Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel! He is the responsible for creating India out of hundreds of "Riyasats". And if you still feel british are, go read the history and formation of India. As far as Moghul Rulers are concerned, yes some of them did atrocities, but its because people and indian kings of small 'riyasats' weren't united under a single flag.And that was also the sole reason of Moghul entering India. About addition in infrastructure, i dont think rail engines were invented before british raj. I dont think if there had been any other ruler, we would not have present railways. Judiciary existed in India from the ancient times, even at the grassroot levels, today we call panchayat. Revenue system also existed since ancient times, otherwise how would have Kings got all the money if their is no source of income.Parliament and Democracy - how much power did parliament and people elected through democratic means had at the time of britishers? If it was so, then there was no need of freedom. And Finally, i'm not a emotional guy as you are! I dont agree with everything i hear and read.. rationalism do exist in me!
