Even I don't do that..
Besides I would like to add one more thought here. I often hear the blame being put on the British alone. I do agree that British raj has left behind some scars which can never be washed away. But when I reflect over, it has actually become a blessing in disguise. What was India before the British arrived? It was nothing but a patchwork of different kingdoms and provinces. The kings were sheerly interested in expanding their territories . There was an air of distrust and foul play between the kingdoms. This was how The British took the advantage and began their divide and rule policy. So somewhere or the other Indians have also been responsible for allowing British to take over. Also if had it not been for this imperial force how would have we realized the importance of national integrity, leaving behind our internal differences between different communities and standing up for the cause of freeing our country. It was the British raj which had taught us to cherish our freedom, our swaraj.

JAI HIND.
