>India was a sweaty, poverty stricken famine zone but Great Britain dragged the place into the 20th century.> After 200 years in India, the British managed to drag 1 percent of the Indian population into the 20th century. Not much of an achievement.

No favors there. >They even tried to get rid of the lingua franca, which was a great competitive advantage. China is flat out trying to learn American. > Better learn your Hinglish soon. As that is the dialect of English that will be getting more popular in the next two decades. >Japan became more like England than England itself [except for language and a few other differences> Exactly.
