India wud have been better off without Independence..say under UK...probably we wud hv been a developed nation long time back....If u say no look at the poor...look at the "Q" in front of "Whites only" countries...so Nehru until Indira Gandhi did nothing for the poor or economy..Beat your chest,shout on top of your voices that's the fact..& when British left thieves came to politics & their kith n kin continue the same tradition of power & corruption..shame on us & probably British wud have kept us together as a nation with one language ...
