I agree with Bodhi, blaming the Brits is a nice ploy to make out the Muslims as innocent lambs who were manipulated by the wily British, all nonsense. It feels good because then you don't have to deal with the uncomfortable facts about Islam and Muslims in India.

I suppose the Brits are to blame for the latest round of rioting in Maharashtra, oh yes i am sure we will hear certain worthies repeat the worn out cliche of how the vast majority of sullas are very "patriotic" and other such nonsense to deflect from whats happening in Maharashtra.
