It hardly matters, dear ! What British did to this country is irreparable. The country which was considered a golden bird ... the country for which Europeans fought against each other and even went against the diktat of Papal Bull to discover Sea-route to India ... was reduced to a beggar due to their monstrous and inhuman policies. It is unimaginable that they imposed a tax of 400 % on indigenously produced things so that they could dump their own goods manufactured in their country ! They broke the backbone of India's economy. India was invaded by many tribes in her entire history and was looted by cruel invaders like Nadir Shah but they didn't destroy the economy of India. They looted us and went away and we could again stand up very soon. These British not only looted us, they crippled us so that we would need other's help for having to even stand up on our own.
Anyway, I am sure, India will again come up on her own. We neither need their looted diamond nor anything. We are happy with what God has decided for us.
