you will understand their cravings for independence only when you are enslaved

You forgot to mention the British took India from the Muslims, not the Hindus

@MaverickOnTheMoon True, If Emperor Jehangir had not granted permission for trade to the British and made them leave India, India would have still been under the Mughal Empire but again I doubt this because there were also Hindu Uprising everywhere and Mughal Empire was slowly beginning to decline.

No British would have given Indian Empires a chance to rise and Indian Empires would probably have expanded more into Middle East & South East Asia, But well, History always has its own way..

@sincibie: It was the CIA which financed & equipped the Tibetan resistance up until the '70s. If we had further support from India, Chinese rule of Tibet would have been impossilbe, & any rule would have been preferable to Mao. Why would an American (hardly just the CIA) in India have been "unacceptable?" Both Nehru & his daughter (the Ghandi I was talking about) were complete toadies for Russia. The economic positions of Korea, Japan, or Taiwan hardly seem "helpless."

@VictorLepanto: had we follwing Gandhian Ecnomic Policies, India wud nt hv been witnessing d present differences in riches n poors.

True, 1 mistake dat we did is to blindly believe Mao... but allying w/ US wud mean CIA bases in Tibet n India n that is/was totally unacceptable, nyways Lama's Rule in Tibet wud nt have hlped either in its devlpment n we cudnt see its ovr-depndnce ovr US lik helples Korea/Japan/Pakistan.

Atlest, we dared to hv Lama here, bt US refusd 2 evn meet him wen he visted der

@sincibie: Taiwan was an economic dynamo when India was languishing under Nehru & Gandhian economic folly. If India had allied itself w/ the U.S., we would have had a free hand to aid Tibet & you'd have the Kingdom of Tibet as an effective buffer between you & the PRC. Nehru thought Mao would remaina toady of Stalin rather then strike an independent path once in power. That is why he didn't help Tibet when it could have mattered. Those CIA bases would've been in Tibet, w/ India crews also.

@VictorLepanto: Apologies for late reply. It's truly fortunate and wonderful that India dint ally w/ US, else we wud hv seeing CIA bases in India. Shall I laugh wen u say only US allies did better. I nvr seen China allying w/ US rather it always bullies, still it's turning up d most powerful nation. Pakistan allied w/ US, we can see its condition, Taiwan running w/ US for 50 years, still entire world even does not recognize it, S Korea ran w/ US, 2day it has more bases of US army then its own...

@sincibie: If India hadn't insisted on (rather if Nehru et al hadn't insisted on making India run) running w/ Russia, it would most certainly have run w/ the U.S. To the far greater benefit of India. India would have taken off in the 60s, like Korea, Taiwan & Japan did. It would have been far easier for the U.S. to back up Tibet. India would have enjoyed an excellent buffer b/t it & P.R.O.C. It wasn't the U.S. which rejected India. Nehru never intended to allow India to be allied w/ the U.S.

@sincibie with all due respect the sepoy rebellion and civil disturbances of 1857 was not a war of Indian independance.It only happened in central India and an independent India was not its intent.Also the behaviour of the protagonists was horriffic with the massacre of civilians and people who had surrendered.The British were as bad in response but regardless this event should not be a source of pride.I would no more support these people who conducted war without morals than i would the talibs.

@swordofpakistan: May be... but if u start valueing your own history prior to 1947, you'll too make this kind of immaturish videos...

afterall, Pakistan's history does not start from 1947 only... there was certainly something prior to 1947 as well to what we today say Pakistan..

1857 calls for that history only, if u can think and understand...

if your history starts and ends with Hindu-Muslim Theory only then sorry brother no one can help you out...
