This isn’t an attack India thread.
This is about the way one Indian company is treating its UK subsidiary.

Re: Britain gets raped. Again!!!
I could fill this site, with a list 1000 pages long of what the British did for India, but it always ends up like a Monty Python sketch. If you want some examples though, I am happy to provide them.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and Britain got a lot out of it too. But what Britain got out of it ended in 1947. We left a functioning society and single country behind, which was far different to what we had found.

Re: Britain gets raped. Again!!!
As I have said repeatedly, it was mutually beneficial. Britain’s benefit ended in 1947 when we moved out, and it became a negative benefit by the 1970s when half of the Punjab turned up en mass in the UK.
(I never quite understood why people who were so keen to throw off British rule would then move to Britain to end up back under it… Maybe Rajj can explain?)
India’s benefit continues to this day, not only in terms of infrastructure like water supply, railways, buildings, airfields, ports and dockyards, but also in terms of “soft” benefits like the police and legal system. We left all this behind, and India still uses it.
I might point out to Rajj that he replied in English language, a legacy of the British that is proving to be rather useful these days. If he replied in Urdu we wouldn’t understand…..
Oh yes Rajj, if you studied Indian history you would know that the “Military might” comprised about 95% of Indian soldiers, who willingly took the Salt.

Re: Britain gets raped. Again!!!
As they are a recognized first hand source of Victorian military history, especially the Raj, then you may use them.
It was the "salt" that gave the source away.
I was talking to some yanks recently returned from "the Ghan" and they are actually given lectures from the papers by and American academic to prepare them for the culture etc.
