Arun, All those explorers came to the sub continent in search of spice and other wealth. That is applicable to all invadors. That is applicable to all Aryan invadors several thoudans years ago too. Defintely it is not a single country as portrayed now. Do you wonder why there were 100s of princely states to be annexed and intergrated under one nation after independance? Let us not talk about Mahabaratha and Ramayan. Those things have as many immoral (by our modern standard) and inhuman things as moral values. Have you read the explanation given by Nehru about Ramayan to his daughter Indira when she was studying abroad? I am now reading a small version of Mahabaratha (to my 7 year old son got from one of the leading cultural schools) and it immediately made me realize how horrible they are (as portrayed by that book) to read to kids. It talks about untouchability, revenge, cunningness and what not. Though the final outcome is good winning over bad, but the way in which the end is achieved teachs all immoral ways to reach the end. What moral values are we teaching with Mahabarath when one lady is a common wives for 5 brothers? Both Mahabaratha and Ramayan is filled with the odor called Brahminism. -Nat
