Huh-huh! General Dyer committed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. How many "Jallianwala Bagh"s does India see now? One every other week? In "good" times. In "OK" times, maybe one every week. And just a few months back, in Gujarat, we saw four or five Jallianwala Baghs in a couple of days!

A few days later, it was all about "Gujarat rapidly coming back to normalcy". Of course, nothing is said about the homegrown General Dyers who masterminded the massacres. Apparently, it is not a good idea to "open the old wounds", and it is now time to "apply the healing touch" and other such crap.

All said and done, British rule was largely positive for India. Even the existence of India today is because of the British. Leaders like Gandhi, Nehru and Tagore have acknowledged the role of the British in shaping modern India.

Cynic, the British have lost their identity. The French and the EU have their own identity still. The UK has nobody to fall back on exceot to be the "yes sir" of the US. What a fall of the British empire. All that they have to cling on to is their "past glory".
