Arun Re: "Englishmen" Thank you for helping me make my point. There WERE English families that had been there for generations, building countryhouses and estates that are still there today. In all the vast expanse of India there is not even one single reigon, even a single community of Englishmen remaining after all those many generations. The reason is that they weren't wanted there and they wouldn't have been safe there after independence. The rest of the developing world is pretty much the same way. In the end, the Europeans were simply expelled one way or another. The most extreme example is China. Every American should be required to learn by heart the story of Sidney Rittenberg, the ONLY SINGLE American in all of China by 1960. And he was there because he was in jail. He didn't go there as a looter or exploiter or even a missionary (who were run off earlier). He, like a great number of American communists had gone to China to help the Red Revolution come about. But after the Chicoms took over the place in 1949 they decided that they had no need for foreigners like Rittenberg, communist comrade or not. It is a compelling story and contains many important lessons. Slagle
