Slagle, You still don't get it. When I said there are 20 million Englishmen left in India, I was referring to the wanna be English. There were only about 50,000 to 100,000 British in India, even when the British were around. >They were all run out of the country.> They left on their own. They had no raison d'etre. Their power and place in the society depended on exercise of British power. Some employed in private companies continued to live in India for about 5-10 years. They were treated very well. Anglo-indians (the semi legal progenies of the English) continued to thrive in India and were disproportionately represented in the higher societies for some time. They still can't their origins out of them. See anglo-indians.com Slagle, you don't understand. In India, if you are foreigner, you are not mistreated. You are fawned over. Sometimes to a point that it is excessive. -Arun >By the way, I called my Indian buddy when we were discussing the number of English families in India that have been there since before independence. He says you are full of it, there are NONE. NONE in the whole country, and he called his older brother in New England and brother confirmed that. No English families and no families with English surnames in the whole country that remain from colonial times. New recent arrivals yes, but remaining from the colonial period, no. >
