I have had more down to earth conversations with railway porters about the state of India than so the so-called intelligentsia. Im going to a wedding in April, i think, in Delhi.It will have some very influential people in attendance but it always happens.What did you study, History,well you must be very aware of what the British did here...blah blah blah.Not my fault i wasnt even born then !And i had to pay £92 to get into this picture show too.
Could it be partly that I don't get my knowledge of the present day from ancient history books but actually knowing people. Of course, there are those as you describe, every nationality has its own 'morons'. As to Nehru I keep hearing to the point of boredom about the present day situation being all his fault. "He should have not become leader, he should have stepped aside as Gandhi advised"! People go on at length about Nehru's father's illegitimate sons and their descendants, in Kashmir for instance. I suppose you are seen as a foreigner and people you meet think they have to bring out something about the Raj and show off their knowledge of it. India's population is a young one, most couldn't care less about it. Why do you have a 'hang up' about Hindus? British used to be covered in woad before Christianity came:lol: A Christian country OK, a Hindu one not OK, why??? At least Hindus keep their violence inside their own country. PS You have visited most of 28 states???? Hope you find out where the wedding is. |

Re: Pound dropping !
It does get me wondering why this vendetta against the UK is still up and running.Its not that we committed a sort of Holocaust against India.Even Israel deals with Germany now.

Re: Pound dropping !
It just might be that
a) Modi wants to announce it himself at an 'opportune' time and/or b) They actually are trying not to overload a new system - I suspect that the only country so far that would possible generate significant numbers would be the USA - if ETA didn't cost the same as a 6-month multi entry / 40% of the cost of a reciprocal* 10-year T. So none of the countries on the list - for ETA as opposed to Voa - are likely to stress the system. If that is the case though, it would have been so very much nicer if someone had said so! *(Reciprocal? really? Indians can just get a 10-year T visa to the USA? Really?) AndyD |
