The caste system was not the fault of the Brits, but that didn't stop them from taking advantage of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_caste_system#British_Role -

C4 Dispatches - immigrants really good for Britain
Please... divide and rule is a well documented "technique" the British used. What about the fact that the British appointed some dude who had no clue on India to decide where the separation line should be. Of course, I guess that is also the fault of the Indians... Listen, I'm sure there were... -

C4 Dispatches - immigrants really good for Britain
I actually agree with you, India should have formed a strong army to fight off the invaders. With regards to moving on.. if you knew anything about India and its people is their ability "move on" as you put it.. a country that has been invaded, looted of its riches for close to almost 800+... -

I really don't think we want to go down the path of arguing over invasions do we?.. not with Britain's past... if you still want to, maybe we can list the countries Britain has invaded vs. the ones that India or "Hindus" have.. and also, lets list the number of people killed. -

C4 Dispatches - immigrants really good for Britain
Caste system is bad, no civilization is perfect, I never said it was. It still doesn't deny the fact that the Indian civilization was advanced and peaceful before it was invaded. I suggest reading up on it rather than coming back with the same old caste system argument... -

C4 Dispatches - immigrants really good for Britain
Actually no, the riches my ancestors had before the British closed down their business was far more than I can ever make in IT. Companies like TATA and Reliance Industries made huge comebacks after the British left. Forget about me thanking you, maybe you should thank India for the enormous... -

I'm not sure if your comments are directed towards India or not, but if they are I suggest you take a look back into the history of India. Going back to the Indus Valley civilization and for a long period until the Mughal invasions, there was no conflict or war or mutual slavery to speak of... -

"India's cotton-processing sector gradually declined during British expansion in India and the establishment of colonial rule during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This was largely due to the East India Company's de-industrialization of India, which forced the closing of cotton... -

Places like Manchester became rich in the industrial revolution on the backs of Indian cities, the British raised taxes on cotton produced in India which resulted in the whole textile industry collapsing. -

Office Space
"The ratio of people to cake is too big." One of my favorite films of all time. While I was working in the states.. we used to quote lines from it all day long.. its a cult film over there. Hopefully it will catch on here in the UK. A must see for anyone working in IT. Now.. where did that I... -

.NET Third Party Controls
I highly recommend syncfusion. Great products (especially their grid control) and great support. Apparently the guy who developed the syncfusion grid was an ex-MS guy who was a lead-dev on the Excel project.
