Finally some truth about colonialism: https://youtu.be/O06y6jHw0rw In 2004, I met the former ambassador of India to Switzerland in New Delhi. We talked about how India has changed since the late 1980s. He ended up mentioning that he had participated in the movement for...See more

Sure, there were a few Rolls Royces, but the buildings all looked shabby. We could travel through half the city by taxi for 5 CHF (today that would be about 15 CHF or about $19). I still loved the place. The British Museum was fabulous, so was the National Gallery.

It took thousands of years of civilization to create societies where the majority of the people are peaceful, cooperative and even quite nice. Maybe we should avoid importing people who are still stuck in barbaric cultures?
