Whilst whatever may be said of the attitude of the Britishers with regard to the manner in which independence was given, it is also clear that the "independence history" of India and Sri Lanka were different in many aspects. There was a congress organisation in Sri Lanka after Nehru's visit there to mediate with regard to the disputes between Indian labourers and plantation owners, but no politician either from that org'n or other political parties had asked to join "India". Gandhi and Nehru and other Indian leaders did not ask for Lanka to be included. So how do you pin the blame on the Britishers and if you did, would it be historically correct.?
