Actually a bigger scam was the fact that the British stole the sterling reserves that were moved to Londion during WWII as collateral for the wartime loans to USA. The Labor govt did not payback the sterling resreve in exchange for getting out of the country.That is why the foreign exchnge crisis and the long and dismal "Hindu" rate of growth post Independence. The rate was so low as it started from nothing but the paltry Rs. 150 crores of which Rs. 50 crore was given to TSP as its share.
The bottom line is India purchased her freedom from the British in 1947. This is the indisputable fact.
On BRF other posters will jump in and tell how generous the British were in providing the old military hardware and useless jets.
