Britain is a far fairer and far less racist country than India and you know it. More than generous when a racist nation simply would not have been so.

'Oh but what about the Empire' is no reason to claim Indians deserve a home in the UK wihout genuine ties there. It is far from reciprocal.
The compensation the slave owners received was paid back only recently. Britain became rich and powered the industrial revolution from colonialism and you want a thank you for them stopping it? Delusional.
