It's easy to blame the British, because that's what we have been taught to do. They stole from us, we're told as children, and reduced our great country to poverty, which is why we don't have good roads, public transport or healthcare.

This has been shoved down our collective throats for so long that we fail to acknowledge that the only buildings and systems still standing today are those built by those horrible Englishmen. The Railways, our Army, the magnificent structures that dot South Bombay - compare them with the leaking subways, decrepit government offices and filthy railway stations maintained by the people currently in charge.
