Bis_mala..

So how do you pin the blame on the Britishers and if you did, would it be historically correct.?
Your post is a bit pathetic..

British have destroyed the royalty.. They fabricated India as a nation.. They ruled by dividing..

Like in Sri lanka majority of administration posts were gave to the minority Tamils but after the Independance, the Sinhalas took revenge giving the majority of the administration jobs for Sinhalas even where 95% of the population is Tamil (IT IS STILL THE CASE).

British favorised the minorities as that the majority could be against the minorities...Now look the mess, daily killings of innocents. I do not think you have got my point. You can blame the British for many things, that is not my point. At the time the independence was about to be given, Indian leaders did not ask for Sri Lanka to be given to them so that India and Lanka could form into one entity. The Lanka leaders too did not ask the Indian leaders to include them in their new India so that they could form into one entity. Both the Lanka leaders and Indian leaders did not address the British on this issue that both territoties should be amalgamated into one region. So, you cannot blame the British for the separation of Lanka and India into separate entities even if you are right in blaming the British for a lot of other things.

On the question of the alleged divide and rule policy, India was never a single entity before the advent of the British East India Company. They (a trading company) forged the subcontinent into one entity. Even the congress party was started by the white men!!

There is nothing pathetic about my post.

WHO COINED THE TERM "India"?
