Where is accountability of govt. servants, politicians and judicial system backed by Police, we have not learnt the message, rather divided the whole country into caste, religion, region and language for vote bank politics. Will present govt. take correction to remove this devil of criminals, corruption and non performers.
Under the bundlekund invader bequeathed rule the native religion practice has suffered much more than during the British rule so much so that in 1947 in the then India we had the biggest population of those practicing the Babur brought religion . Under British rule there was no tax to practice native religions like those days of Babur clan rule.English did come for their local administration then,got entrenched for ever as it gave equal opportunity to all language groups and a window to science and Technology of 20th and 21st centuary.English missionaries like Caldwel G.U Pope did service to Local language like Tamil .I have heard of the contribution to other languages by others but not their name. North India lost languages like Sanskrit, Kanoji etc and had to remain content with invader brought Farzi, Urdun then Urdu.Things like someone contributing to Indian languages were unheard of from Samarkund invader's rule R.PONNAMBALAM
How are we to fight the British?'That was the immediate time effect.But the Maraatta had knocked at and knocked down the doors of earlier invaders on India and closing the then existing invader's empires.That lost the steam as that CULTURE CONNECTION OF THOSE INVADERS BROUGHT IN ABDALI and put paid to the efforts of the Maratta' on Indian nationalism.That is what makes INDIAN NATIONALISM ----R.PONNAMBALAM
British rule was golden era in Indian History 1. British unified over 550 princely states into a single entity. 2. They ended Moslem domination in India and liberated Hinddus from 1000-year long subjugation that eventually led to the rise of Hinddu intellectual class who could eventually fight for the freedom of India. 3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, roads, etc which unheard in the rest of Asia (during 19th century). 4. British opened many universities and colleges in India, which helped Hinddus to rise as an intellectual class. 5. British introduced English helped India to become a software superpower in the world today. 6. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system, even though remnants of the system remain. Even superstitions decreased to a great extent. 7. Due to better medical services, death rate dropped and life-span increased. 8. Railways, postal services, modern education, English medicine, etc rapidly improved the standards and quality of life. 9. HHindus were living under complete subjugation of Mozlems. British rule gave great religious freedom to HHindus 10. British rule altogether gave a new direction to Indians who were mired in ignorance, superstitions, caste-barbarity and opened an era of modern civilization in India.

Great sayings.That is why the Englishmen and English are so dear to India.Still a RULE is a RULE and a RULER is a RULER.The colonized are the colonized and MINDS DIFFER AS DO RIVERS Any thing would have a different facet too from the ruler's view point and the ruled's view point.The British rule in India was in the aftermath of INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN EUROPE which no other continent had experienced till then .The industrial-development life of Britain too benefited from the British rule of India by getting it a market and a source of raw material and so gave a blood line boost to activities of the empire and it's growth of GOLDEN ERA of the BRITISH EMPIRE.That is also a factor which should get proper weightage alongside these to get a right picture. But it is a wonder how the English man (I do not write the British)who holds English as the Queen's or King's English and gives the ownership to King to everything could go by the saying that Religion forms a basis for a nation when nowhere in the world such a practice existed and didn't exit India leaving that as it was to let Indians decide.English is a Great Contribution to the multi hued people;but when it was introduced Macaulay might not have thought of it other than helping the then administration.There are always spin effects.Some prove lucky;English to India was like that,But definitely the British rule didn't do as much damage as the invader's from bundlekund did to India is my opinion,Difference is li

I for one think that the British Rule didn't do as much damage-invaders or colonizers rule do bring damage- as did the rule of invaders from Bundlekund .But the stroke of partition when no canon existed anywhere in the world that religion forms a base for nationhood without land nativity &chieftain or King to that nativity is uprooting the well-turned work done in British Rule.To quote MACAULAY:Minds differ as do rivers.R.Ponnambalam
“Be Indian in both culture and life.”.As we today every body seems to have his own opinion of Indian Culture and being indian.Some , it looks ,think that which was born in or sprouted from this soil of Indian Land mass is our culture. That itself is quite varied and multifaceted as we Indians have ethnic linguistic diversity.There are more native born Religions of the country like Hinduism Bhuddism,Jainism and Sikhimsm. There is the abominable caste system which needs to be eliminated from our culture as it stands in the way of equality enshrined in the constitution .These can be aspects of our national Culture by nativity. The invader brought or colonisers brought cultures are there; the invader brought culture taxed people for practicing their religious faith, had the aspect of proselytization , wiped out from day to day use the languages spoken in the then India,even the worship of gods like agni,varun,Indra as one report in one site mentioned ,the colonizer’s brought culture introduced” the divide and rule policy “which we say we abhor but do practice.The foreigners or invader established aspects of culture do live and would thrive as we are all equal citizens .But when then these are cultures of other nations as well as they are actively propogated fundedby those nations also and as they propagate those from some other aspect of culture of their Nation; we might wonder how we take that as Indian Culture.R.Ponnambalam
