Not being from India I am afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean exactly (I don't know what you regard as 'their rules' for example).\n\nIf you are talking about emigration then we have a saying here in England "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" and other countries do have an appeal, especially if they're richer or present more opportunities.\n\nWhile I have no problem with Indians emigrating here (or anywhere) I too wonder why they don't stay - perhaps they feel there aren't the opportunities to 'make a difference' in India, or they may simply see a chance to improve their own standard of living and aren't concerned with the bigger picture of what is happening to their homeland. Or could it be that over the last century or two, with the Brits running things, there's a feeling it is up to others to improve things in India?\n\nFor what it is worth I believe India has grown up since the days of the Raj and, though some of its people may be behaving like selfish children, there is enough talent and knowledge being gained by Indians across the globe to contribute immensely to its growth and maturity. Once they see India as 'the place to be' I think they'll come back.\n\nI would also like to say that I think India should remain Indian and not feel it has to become American or go back to being British. You have a great and glorious history of your own, with immense successes (and a few mistakes - but we all have those!) and an impressive cultural background. and don't forget even the language known as English has its roots in Indo-European 'soil'. \n\nSo yes, I agree wholeheratedly with you if what you are saying is be true to Indian values and ethics while developing 21st century techniques and knowledge and, above all, make your country great again. The world needs a strong India.

Country, India \nM.K. Gandhi is called the Father of Our Nation, as he stood by Non Violence and contributed in ganing freedom to India.\n\nApart from him there are lesser known persons ( with respect to world) Like , Subash Chandra Bose, Sarojini Naidu, BG Tilak, Shivaji , Bhagat Singh, who all are Known Freedom Fighters , and they laid their lives to make India free from British Rule.

Looks like you have a lot of questions about Gandhi :)\n\nComing to this one: \nThe British insisted that they brought all the small king under one rule and if they go away suddenly, then these kings would fight for the power.\nAlso there were the Hindu-Muslim differrences that were cropping up. \n\nThe British claimed that they would make india free after solving these problems.But they never agreed that they were the problem.

President Bush came to India in order to make a settlement with the Indian government which his comrades were un-able to accomplish.That was : to introduce India as a legitimate partner in the Nuclear field.\nHe wanted the support of India and in order to do so he "recognized" their potencial against terrorism and China in Asia.\nIn short : " he wanted allies " cause Pakistan is run by a buntch of ducks!!

Yes, Brits, just get out of the country and leave the Irish to rule themselves.\n\nYou had to do it to my country India, and I am sure that you'll have to do it with Ireland too.\n\nst

Certainly Yes. They had "Indus valley civilization" - which is one of the oldest organized civilization and then the monarchy system took control. after that, britishers invaded india on the name of 'business' (because india was the richest country in the world at that time) and they, with the other invedors, looted and ruled for some centuries. after freedom, they have democracy. so now India is the world's largest democracy and also it is most diversed country in terms of religions. India is great !!

Well bro if you want all the history chronological then it here:\nKashmir was free and I should be given freedom....\n\n\n 1947: August 14/15. British India is partitioned into India and Pakistan as part of the independence process. Majority Muslim areas in the West (now all of Pakistan) and East (the place now called Bangladesh) form Pakistan. The British also allow the nominal rulers of several hundred "princely states," who were tax collectors for the British and served at British pleasure, to decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. Pakistan demands Kashmir accede to it. The Hindu ruler of Kashmir does not make a choice. Kashmir has three major ethnic areas: Ladakh in the northwest, which is majority Buddhist; the Kashmir Valley (controlled by India) and the part now controlled by Pakistan, which is majority Muslim, and Jammu (in the south), which is majority Hindu. The overall majority is Muslim.\n\n1948: "Tribesmen" from Pakistan invade Kashmir with the support of the Pakistani government. The ruler of Kashmir asks India for help. India demands that Kashmir should accede to India first. The ruler agrees. India sends forces to Kashmir and the invasion is blocked. Kashmir is divided into a Pakistani controlled part and an Indian controlled part. This de facto partition continues to this date with the dividing line being known as the Line of Control.\n\n1948: India takes the Kashmir issue to the U.N. Security Council, which passes a resolution calling on Pakistan to do all it can "secure the withdrawal" of Pakistani citizens and "tribesmen" and asking that a plebiscite be held to determine the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Neither the force withdrawal nor the plebiscite has taken place.\n\n1962: India and China fight a border war. China occupies a part of Ladakh.\n\n1965: India and Pakistan fight a border war along the India-West Pakistan border and the Line of Control in Kashmir. U.N. brokered cease fire and withdrawal to pre-war lines affirmed by the leaders of the two countries at a 1966 summit meeting in Tashkent, USSR (now Toshkent, Uzbekistan).\n\n1970-1971: An election in (East and West) Pakistan results in an overall majority for an East Pakistani party, which is ethnically mainly Bengali. The Pakistani military refuses to allow the Parliament to convene. East Pakistanis demand autonomy, then independence in the face of brutal repression by the Pakistani military. Guerilla warfare ensues. About ten million refugees stream into India from East Pakistan. India also provides sanctuary to Bangladeshi guerillas. Pakistan attacks airfields in India and Indian-controlled Kashmir. India strikes back in West Pakistan and also intervenes in the East on the side of the Bangladeshis. The U.S., in a "tilt" towards Pakistan, sends a nuclear-armed aircraft carrier, the Enterprise, and its battlegroup, to the region, in an implicit nuclear threat to India (which influences nuclear politics of India in favor of nuclear testing). Pakistan loses the war on both fronts and Bangladesh becomes independent.\n\n1972: India and Pakistan sign a peace accord, known as the Simla (or Shimla) agreement, according to which both sides agree "to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them." Both countries agree that they will not unilaterally try to alter the Line of Control in Kashmir.\n\n1974: India tests a nuclear device. Pakistan accelerates its nuclear weapons program.\n\n1980s: U.S. supports Islamic resistance to Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and also the dictatorship of Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan, which promotes Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan.\n\nLate 1980s: There is a state-level election in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. There is evidence of fraud. Militancy rises in Kashmir. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hindu fundamentalism begins to become more power

It was a company started by the british during colonial times. It basically began as a way to import tea from India to England and, ultimately, the rest of the known world. Later, the East India Company became much more powerful. Owning land, influencing politics and then, becoming the de facto "stock market" for all of England (remember, this was when the sun never set on the british empire... it was freakin' huge). The Company pretty much controlled the entire financial markets of britain. Ultimately, it was brought down in a scandal which lead to the formation of the Bourse--which is the first iteration of a controlled stock market like the New York Stock Exchange. Hope this helps.

Gandhi was the hope and role model (even for the leaders) for the Indians. Gandhi believed in a non-violence fight to reach their independence and Gandhi made sure of that.

try this 'Glimses of History' Book prescribed in the ICSE board. the panchsheel policy, the NAM, five year policy, National Planning commission, etc can provide good materials for your answers. finding relevant speeches may involve greater efforts.\n Nehru's personal disposition to scientific inventions, his friendliness with the British,(including Lord Mountbatten and lady Adrina Mountbatten), his belief on secularism, friendly foreign policy, his own educational background that himself being an Oxford educated, etc will throw more light on how he chose to make india modern.

You English people wont know the greatness of India. India is better than England in all ways. We didnt go to take someones land and take all its riches and at last separate it into three so that it wont grow that fast. India has powerful men like me who will try hard to make it the best.

If you want to improve India's economy, just look at Nehru's plan for improving India. Nehru was an inspiration to people all over the world when it comes to bringing India up as a huge power.\n\nNehru did amazing things by unifying India. He kicked the Portuguese out of Goa. He organized his country and gave Udder Pradesh, and the northern provinces enough autonomy that it included northern India instead of dividing the Sikh's and the Hindi's. He united India after the British left. He worked to give India independence in the same fashion that Gandhi did. \n\nLook at the contributions of Nehru and Gandhi and you can follow their example to improve India's economy.\n\nBefore the British left, India was a much poorer economy than it is now. Between the time that Nehru became President and the time he died, he led India from being one of the poorest countries in the world to being an independent producer of it's own food. That is an awesome accomplishment when you think of how big India is, how populated it is and how much of a difference it made in such a short time. \n\nNehru and Gandhi are awesome people for India to be proud of. If I were going to join hands with anyone, I would hope that Nehru and Gandhi were there holding hands with me.

Let not your imagination run fast.\nIntodays world the smaller a nation the more merry for all the rest. See USSR it has been split. \nSo the days of any two power joining to swallow another power are over. \nRemember the culture of each area varies and the people living therein want their independence. So some type of PANCHAYAT RAJ\nat each village level under the over all control of a joint head may work well. \nEven in the worst of dream no INDIAN would wish anything happence to the independence of PAKISTAN or AFGANISTAN or CEYLON or BANGLADESH.or NEPAL
