Well, sometimes I really wonder whether we are talking about Indians living in India! Is this really India? Parties with wines, whisky and rum.....!
I'd like to reproduce a certain text here.
Lord McCauley in his speech of Feb 2,1835 - British Parliament


"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I
have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I
have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of
such caliber,that I do not think we would ever conquer this
country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her
spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her
old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the
Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and
greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem,their
native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation".

I think they have succeeded in doing that!
