By "and related", do you mean employees of companies that outsource to Indian "development" shops?

Explain to me why...
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
It is a devastating documentary about the 200 years of British rule in India which ended in 1947 with a hasty and shambolic carve-up of the land between India and Pakistan. Sadly for those there at the time, harmony gave way to mob hatred and many lives were lost. This documentary looks to piece together the reminiscences of eyewitness. The accounts of the huge massacres are particularly chilling. Of course, with such a heavy subject, the mood of the show is grim, powerful, but nevertheless, fascinating. The events that unfolded in the last throes of the Empire are still resonating today, making this show a must-see. Over at the RT, they drily observe that "Lord Mountbatten's daughter describes the opulence of the viceroy's residence, where they found 25 indoor gardeners and one servant whose job it was to carry a seal that bore the British crown, with which he would stamp every single pat of butter. If only they'd taken such care over the big things." I'm not forcing anyone to watch it (nor I can);; just recommending it as a must watch. (Considering you as a grown-up and mature)-->You would understand it if you wanted to.

Sounds good to me. I will be watching it in morning. Hope it is as good as you are stating: "devastating"
Just finished reading "Treacherous Alliance", subtitled "The secret dealing of Israel, Iran and the US". Started reading "Gandhi Churchill". Preliminary conclusion - any nation / political entity - insisting on maintaining religious believes of human ignorance is destined to not only keep their domains in ignorance but perpetuate elimination of humans of different albeit also ignorant believes. In case of India - 15 million of displaced and 1 million of butchered humans prove my conclusion, and all of this because of intolerant, ancient religious believes. Humans went to the Moon; build bridges, eradicated killer diseases… Name one similar accomplishment of any religion and I will revise my conclusion. Cheers Vaclav
