Worswick, "Personally, I believe that the dream of an Indian union began to fall apart when Mountbatten absolutely sold out, first the Indian princes and abrogated all the British solemn treaties... Politically, everything... absolutely every single political act follows from the compromises of 1947 and the poisoned cake that was served to all the participants on Indian Independence Day." I (though I have not studied Indian history as others on this thread have) agree with this. It follows the pattern the British followed when their "empire" was dismantled. They did similar things in Palestine in the late 40s, and fanned Arab nationalism with one hand while voting for the partition of Palestine with the other; they guaranteed a miserable outcome. And of course they were even worse with Ireland, and various parts of Africa. Not to mention what the British colonialists did in the 17th and 18th centuries in North America. "Quiet" genocide. They belong in the Hall of Shame that we are building on this thread, though it is easier to put individuals there than a whole country (or more accurately, a government).
