    I’m guessing there is also some schadenfreude, at least among some people, at seeing a European country getting colonised by a semi-Asian one.

    All this tells me is that Indians’ objection to colonisation is that they weren’t the ones doing it.

      There is definitely a section that feels this way, at least with regards to the UK. Fortunately, there are a small minority (for now).

        No they aren’t. They absolutely aren’t. What we are doing in Kashmir is nothing short of colonisation. India is as imperialistic as the west is/was. It’s just that we’re terrible at it.
