I am never an apologist for the Indian State, but to say, India would be better under British rule, is a NO - NO for me. In spite of its failures at many levels and mostly falling short of expectations, India is a miracle. There is no other way to put it. The population of entire Americas, north-south and central is lesser than population of India. So, if you are seeing grotesque poverty and violence, well they are still there in Americas. Xenophobia is really not a phobia if you read the history of Delhi. I mean this city has been sacked since 10th century and regularly had its population obliterated.
