Nation \neq Civilization. If I were a fish, I'd want not to be eaten. I don't care two bits whether I'm fried in margarine or in butter (to paraphrase Nehru).

Nation \neq Civilization.
If I were a fish, I'd want not to be eaten. I don't care two bits whether I'm fried in margarine or in butter (to paraphrase Nehru).
Enough said.

I'm glad you said that. Indian culture and civilization still lives strong, it's just not only in India anymore. You can thank the British for that (though I guess you hate them).

- akhatri_aus 11y agoGuy, instead of arguing with me on HN where nothing will happen run in for politics or something where you can impact people's lives instead. Our family left long ago. Though we've left we're still quite attached. 68 years is long enough after colonial rule not to blame them on the current problems. Singapore did it and got independence later than India did.
