It's true that they took most of the wealth, but what you say about indians developing their own country is untrule. The british ruled india since the 1600s till 1947. DO NOT TELL ME that during those years they did not develope anything. The major metropolitans of India are made by the british. The archeteture and education was done by the british. Most of the parliments that the indians now were done by the british. Yes the british were somewhat ruthless, but if it wasnt for the oppurtunity of education granted by them, leaders like gandhi, nehru wouldn't have been formed. Gandhi wouldn't have gotten his education as a lawyer, wouldnt have had a chance to travel to south africa and realize the things he did that made him a leader. We should be just optomistic, we should take action. OH and OPPURTINITISM is what drives people to sucess, not just PRIDE. Yes i can tie a nepali flag in a stick, where the whole nepali uniform and hold a khukuri and stamp "I AM A PROUD NEPALI, JAI NEPAL JAI NEPAL, I LOVE MY MOTHER LAND" SO WHAT?? If you dont' take action, nothing will happen. Just saying you love your country and are proud, doesnt make you anything. And if you look at most of the leaders of the world. They are the one who criticized their country, thats how they became leaders. They were the oppurtunitist! People here america don't really care about where your from, they only care about the color of your skin. I dont really consider my self an american even though i am citizen, and yes I am a nepali, was born there, I link my self more to my religion. And no matter how much you go to those white people and say "I MAY BE A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY, BUT I AM A NEPALI IN BIRTH" They don't give a damn. They'll jsut say "YOUR A BROWN N*****" And if nepal was a developed country, I still woundt be so over proud of being a Nepali. No matter how much your country is developed, people are still ignorant. Nepal has so many ethnic groups and so manly language. No matter how rich we are and how many skyskrapers we've established, people would still hate. We are backward people, with backward society, but we have a rich culture that people really don't understand and chose to be BACKWARD.
