Victoria Secrets !!

Gates of Victoria Memorial, Queen's remnant, East India Company !!

A random thought crossed my mind (rather our, me and my roomate) further intrigued by Veen's Post What and How would we (Indians) have been today if the British had not left India?

Offcourse it's a secret !! As we will never Know! But what IF, they were still there ?

We are anyway following and doing what they did!
Hierarchy and Bureaucracy is our pride, We write and speak British English!

Would so many of us leave India to study abroad?
Would we have bridges and building collapsing?
Would we have unmonitored floods and weather?
Would we not have more schools and colleges?
Would we not have more rail tracks and roads?
We sure would not have any forests left, like none in UK!
Would we be called as British Indian, or Indian British or Colonized British or Colonized Indians?
Would we have made silk ourselves much earlier rather than just cotton?
Would we have a parliament with uneducated Indians or educated British or educated British Indians?
Would we have not bridged the gap between the rich and poor?
Would we have atleast 50% of cleanliness, organization, and honesty at present UK?
Would we still have so many bomb blasts?
Would we still have reservation issues? (May be British Quota and Indian Quota) :) !!
Would we still have so much haterate for Muslims?
Would we still pointlessly blame and bring religion into everything?
Would we still have and follow all the classification system that exists in our country?
Would we still have so many terror groups?
Would we still have Jharkhand, Uttaranchal separated from parent states?
Would we still cash on 'Divide and Rule policy?'
Would we be any different from 400 years of slavery (Mughals, East Indian Company) ?
Would we still be called Indians, proud Indians, slave Indians, poor Indians, or would we become a mini Australia with time?
.................

I wonder !!! WILL have to put more thought on it it in some other time.. BUT I do seriously wonder, what it could have been had they not left us to the one born on 2nd October ?

What do you guys think?

This post is definately related to my Bong Connection given that the East India Company set their footstep in Kolkata !
