Well, judging from the way you write - your insufficient knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and semantics, you would fall in the 90% bracket of the people who conveniently label imbecilic and unintelligent. I'd suggest you go to school and get an education before the gestapo that you seek to establish comes and exterminates you. You are in for some hard labour, but you just might make it - after all, fear of death can make people do virtually anythin.
That ad hominem attack apart, lemme tackle your main point - just because it happened 100 yrs ago doesnt change anything. The british imposed it for the same reasons that GoI wants it imposed - to track the coolies and their "anti-national" activities. In the process, it became a tool of harassment and humiliation of the population at the hands of law enforcement. It's the height of hypocrisy if, now that we are independent, choose to impose the same set of laws that we thought cruel and inhumane when we were at the receiving end. The reasons the british imposed it are the same as ours... the only thing that has changed is the people who constituted the government... Perhaps you are right, this country is indeed full of imbeciles with selective amnesia.
