Ignorant of history

No you don't call the shots any longer, buddy, no matter how you would like to continue twisting colonial history to your advantage. Wake up! Think of something new to beat the Indians with, but that will not get you out of the mess of Londonistan. The British did not do anything against caste! They in fact shored up the caste system within their administration by co-opting the castes according to the entrenched system of caste-based work! You can be as dismissive as you like, but the fact remains, and only the fact is enough, that British connivance with the Islamist cause in India, pre- and post-partition, has led to the current jihad in its midst! Now put your own sixty million heads together to twist your way out of the muddle on your own. No old colonial Indian rope trick gonna bail you out of this one!
