Amritsar Massacre at 95

Five years short of century ago today, in the aftermath of the Great War, the Amritsar Massacre took place.

This was most unfortunate in many ways – to put it mildly. And one can certainly understand why many Indians didn't want to continue with the British Crown – and still have a hatred towards the British Raj.

That being said, it can absolutely be argued that India is no better off – in several aspects – than under the Raj in best case, and probably worse.
