One sees the aftermath of the British Rule which left nothing more than a crippling legacy that would haunt its former colonies to this day.
In India the divide and Rule that the British so effectively implemented in the early 1940's has been one of the major reasons for the Hindu Muslim divide that exists in the sub continent. The great rail system that they gave us was built on the blood and sweat of hundreds of thousands of "dispensable brown men". and they continue thinking they did us a favour And I hardly think cricket was a fair exchange for decimating a nation of all its resources.
The Empire left in its wake most of today's problems and conflicts... it sowed the seeds of poverty and war in Asia, the Middle East and Africa....greasing the palms has almost become a way of life .
