  It should read 'We have left them 54 years ago' and not 'They have left us 54 years ago..'.

  Almost all of British culture has been extrapolated from other cultures in Asia, Africa and the middle east, but mainly that of indian. As I said in 1996, it was easy to fit such cultures into their own because they really had none. They were very selective of all things to later call their own and to mark it as superior, disregarding where the basic fundamentals came from.
  
  In Brighton England, there is the building looking like the Tajmahal and that is used on British post cards to the world to invite visitors to the country. You can see the majority of customers in Indian restaurants and line ups for Indian take-aways are English people. Our food is their number one specialty(a curry). I have already in this forum stae my views about the Monarchy and their Christian religion. I need not restate them here.
  
  Not to forget our lovely cotton. It still is in high demand by white women(1996).
  
  They have not and never will cross the Bridge, yet they have already cursed it so many times.

  They also took the gold mainly from India and used it lavishly around the Queen's palace. You will also see that at the Royal pavillion in Brighton England.
  
  Looking at what is shown in this thread(how Britioan anglicized India) and many others on this forum, one shoudl ask how dare Nagapan by stating that 'She came to our country and acted white'. What is White. I could not change my skin colour from brown to white.
  
  Indian referred to Indian from UP as scums. There are scums all over the western world. I have never seen a, east Indian eating from the garbage cans, but I have seen whites doing it. In Britain, there are so many teenage mothers pushing strolers. What excuse do they have. If they are not scums and came from good backgrounds, how did they find themselves in such postions? They live of the welfare state and that is perpetuated by their kids. There are many adult male and female on social welfare. They have the chance to study, but they do not want to. They also do not want to work. They are nothing but COMSUMERS living for no PURPOSE. They are the true SCUMS. And if wasn't for the exploitative history, the high percentage of English citizens being SCUMS and CONSUMERS would have been so evident.

  this may sound like a stupid remark but one thing britian did for india was too allow commonwealth subjects to come too england where on arrival they may not had the best welcome but now at least for the most this has given the famailys a better education and job prospects which would they would never had in india
  also when you think about it if it was not the british who where in india who would it have been the maybe the french!!

  It is wrong to complain about these things when you are communicating in their languageAll major cultures in the world has contributed to nations and peoples which were ruled by them.

  dear jeril james,
  
  pl visit india.
  
  pl try and "bask" in its beautiful poverty.
  
  and come back and try posting what u wrote.
  
  the colonialists need to share 50% blame 4 the plight of ppl on lands they once occupied and still occupy.
  
  ofcourse v understand there is no point fighting history - its nicer 2 accept it the way it is. but v cud b spared comments that justify the wrongs.
