Never forget that Winston Churchill let millions in Bengal starve to death because they were not civilized people according to him. Modern day Indians do acknowledge that history is complex, nuanced and there were many factors that led to the colonization of India. However the sheer ignorance of a lot of Western folks to British and other colonial atrocities is alarming. For them the history starts and ends with their own lens and seldom beyond the same Greek/ Roman/ Judeo mythology and/or history. It is funny for example when so many call the modern no system the Arabic no system when in fact the Arabians merely took it from India and exported it westwards (an important feat) There is a reason why Western civilization became so powerful - conquering large territories (Aus, Ca, NZ etc.) , resources, imposing their culture. I really commend the self respect Chinese have in this regard. They consider this century as the one where China regains its lost glory. I hope India can manage to become economically better although i doubt it would ever come even close to China.
