The Kohinoor row

Suddenly out of the blue we've waged a war for the return of the Kohinoor. What were we doing all this time ? Sleeping? Why didn't it bother us 50 years ago when we got Independence?

This is what i hate about our entire Indian civilization. Living in the past. Identifying heavily with the past. Whats wrong if we don't have that hira? Do we loose anything ? Or Do we gain anything?

Heritage. Crap! When we slowly and gradually lost independence in the 1700's and 1800's where was our pride and heritage? Why the fuck did we fight against each other and let the British take advantage of it ? Why didn't we protect our Heritage and sovereignty that time?

Lets get rid of the cloud of our past and try to do things which don't let us feel ashamed of us again and again. We've had a bad recent past and we've gotten out of it. Screw the Kohinoor. We don't want it. If Pakistan has claims upon it, let them get it. We've got too much to worry about. We got to get rid of poverty and march ahead in our quest of becoming a prosperous superpower. Fuck the Kohinoor. We don't need it.
