> Anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic > for the Indian people for decades. Why stop now? I assumed anti-colonialism meant the license raj, protectionism, central planning, import substitution, and other illiberal policies brought in in 1947, that were sold at the time as being anti-colonial. Can someone tell me what it actually means, or is the suggestion that these policies weren't economic suicide?
