The Brits are the original scoundrels and scalawags. They played a dirty role at time of creation of India and Pakistan. All the resources of the India and Pakistan are wasted in wars which no side seems to win because of the behind the scenes manipulation still played in the subcontinent by the British. Why should India take the offer from a known scoundrel is a big mystery. Is our foreign policy and military policy, commercial policy still being written by Britain even after more than sixty six years of our independence or is made to serve the interests of our colonial masters.
