I am reproducing an Excellent answer I saw on Quora for this question :
It isn't the looting of wealth that bothers me so much as the sheer
fact that the Congress merely replaced the Brits in some ways - they
just became masters of the same, broken, weak people, who were simply
willing to suck up to authority. Nobody gave India confidence! This is
the part that bothers me so much, especially with MK Gandhi's style of
'winning' us freedom by giving the enemy higher moral ground.
So,
India has grown up as an apologetic impotent nation, where our children
are taught to revere impractical, passive, cowardly notions like
non-violence, when everything in nature tells us to fight to survive. Of
course I know the philosophy of not fighting because of being strong.
But this comes from mastery, not shamelessly bowing to masters!
So, we saw a change of guard. The Brits went, and new masters came in
the form of the Congress Party. Hierarchies remained, the class system
remained, and subservience remained. Where the heck did all the dynamism
go?
Then we were thrown into a socialist mindset, people waiting
for alms from government wealth redistribution programs instead of
being empowered. We got protectionist policies, that prevented
prosperity and competition, throwing us away from a path of a
meritocracy. Hindustan Motors was started around the same time as
Toyota, and Tata Steel started around the same time as Nippon Steel.
Nippon Steel produces around five times as much as Tata Steel without
native resources of ore. No need to talk about Hindustan Motors and
Toyota. Japan coming out of twin nuclear strikes was devastated way more
than India under the Brits. Do we need to compare how different the
growth paths of these two nations have been?
Only when thousands
died did we start the Green Revolution. Only when China attacked us did
we realize we need to become militarily stronger. Only with our backs
against the wall, did India liberalize its economy. Under the Congress,
every move we have made towards any kind of development has come under
inevitable circumstances, with our backs against the wall.
India
was never allowed to be truly independent, strong, and proud of its
people's full potential. No wonder so many of us left in droves and
thrived in various countries elsewhere. This is the loot I would feel
most wronged by - denying India its best talents and minds, because we
didn't create the conditions for dignified development.
Incredibly, the immense sacrifices of our fighting heroes were also
swept aside under this avalanche of worship for Gandhiji. Why? So that
the Brits would feel good? The Congress party was reporting to British
Intelligence for 5 years after we became an independent country, about
Subhash Bose's family's movements. During a criminal probe of the Bofors
scandal, the Congress External Affairs minister delivered a letter to a
foreign body to deny evidence and cooperation to an Indian
investigating agency. Years later, a whole bunch of Congress members and
their cronies used the letterhead of the Indian Parliament to petition
the USA to not issue a visa to Narendra Modi, the man who would become
Prime Minister. It is these bunch of ass lickers that I want to hang or
burn over a slow fire.
The Congress has a clear obsession with
white people and a need to constantly please them. When Hillary Clinton
asked India to wean itself off Iranian oil, the Congress government
promptly obliged, even though Iran and India have been close friends for
a long time. No surprise then that pasta aunty from Italy is their
supremo. Think she would have got the same respect if she had been a
Nigerian black woman? I don't think so. That's how deeply ingrained the
slave mentality is in the ranks of the Congress.
It is the loot
of India's pride, dignity, dynamism and die hard spirit that bothers me
much much more than the loot of wealth. This country produced enough
wealth to support the British Empire for 200 years. It can easily
produce much more to ensure prosperity, health and well being for its
own people. This is an abundant, powerful country, that has been
prevented from being a developed, forward thinking, awesome nation that
could by now have been an example for the world.
If India has
been a weak, apologetic nation for so long, it's precisely because of
the Congress. Why do we have to put up with these weasels and the fools
who are aligning with them? I could even tolerate a ruthless, despotic,
dictatorial mindset. It is this slimy, backstabbing, self serving
Lutyens mindset that really irks me. I would give anything to destroy
this smugness, decimate it, and put it firmly behind us.
The economic loot is nothing compared to this, but we will bloody well make them pay for all of it.
