India/Hindustan has always been subjected to loot/plunder - right from the ancient days (b\'cos Hindus where always considered to be soft). If we look at our past: First Arabs, Mughals, Britishers, and then Indian Politicians. Who says India is not being looted now? <br>
Remember Guys - Somnath temple (17 times by Gazni), Mysore, Vijaynagaram... If you ask me, the Britishers have done a lot of good to India rather than bad. eg:- they united India into one nation, taught us to speak English (imagine Indian IT without English!!). I agree with the fact that they have committed atrocities on Indians, but it is negligible when you compare them with Aurangazeb, Babur and other Arab rulers. I happened to visit London recently where I have seen the Thorn of Tipu Sultan, Kohinoor Diamond, the Sword of Shivaji, the last dress worn by Tipu Sultan b4 he was killed, the Golder Tiger Of Tipu, Aurangazeb\'s Throne, Unimaginable Jeweller from Vijayanagaram Kingdom. What are they doing in England? Perhaps the Indian Gov should request the British to return them rather than for an apology. Your blood will just boil if you go thru these British museums, you will learn about India\'s glorious past more in London than in India.
