Fascinating case put for self-rule in India put after the First Great World War in 1917 which ironically still seems pretty relevant in both India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc when you consider opportunities accorded to the ordinary masses in these now very 'independent' countries. Why have these countries lagged behind when other ex-colonies like Canada and Australia have done wonders for their people, when all were part of the Anglophile policy of British is a very interesting question indeed. Is it down to cultural differences or racial policies or the socio economic conditions were so different for the indigenous native people that little could be achieved, I am not sure. For me I think race and socio economic conditions have to be a major reason when you consider the sorry plight of natives in America, Australia and New Zealand.
