This from Diljit Rana has more gems, including the Irishwoman who campaigned against the sale of children to temples and even further back the Corkman who chaired the East India Company.

I have a very dear friend who was born in India , raised in the Netherlands, and who has now been living in Dublin for the last 8 years. He is a fine exponent of what that country is all about and speaks with an admirable, almost fervent passion about his motherland. He is well aware of the historical links between the two countries.

Should get the facts straight before openning your big mouth, like a politican.

"Free market democracy"?

"Until 2011, Indian central government denied foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail, forbidding foreign groups from any ownership in supermarkets, convenience stores or any retail outlets. Even single-brand retail was limited to 51% ownership and a bureaucratic process." for a starter.

Agree. We need to build ties with India rather than constantly chasing the Chinese Yuan. India is a free market democracy and because of this will be the superpower of the future.
