the true color of the policy adopted by britishers can be seen only in so called independent India and UP election is a true reflection of that.
Congress has been the true follower of that policy i.e. Divide and Rule and the result of that is we stand divided in terms of area, language, caste, creed and money.
it wasnt britishers who did much damage to our country but its the politicians and specially congress who have done more damage to India.

it is most imperfect to compare british 'divide and rule' to contemporary indian democratic system. our schools always taught us the cliched 'divide and rule' .. that was the time when people had no rights.. invidividuals were not empowered.. they were all under the mercy of kings.. and the divide and rule was out way before the 20th century by which time british already ruled india.. in a democracy with rights resting with people, if u divide, how the hell can u expect to rule on the whole??
