Colonized world...

I remembered my last year Independence experience when I stepped out to visit Mumbai with a pressed fear of untoward incident. Today, on the eve of India's Independence I have taken another tour, but it's in Melbourne. A colonial society by Britan. India too colonized by Britan, and many others, but the footprints left behind are quite different.
Agri, Mining & Education considered to be the hub of roaring economy of Australia. Australia could be few countries in recent recession/inflamatory time, speaking of surplus by 2012 leaving behind the deficit owes of other countries who are struggling for their sovereignty status.
India amid of scams, england unrest under riots, US of A on debt ceiling, France under economic pressure of debt increase, spain & Italy dragging the Euro for their defaults. While the macro economic condition appears weak, India is celebrating 65 years of Independence. Are we really independent from colonized British, or we are still controlled by breaucracy, politics and insurgency. What India is looking at for 2011-12, Not to Sensex for sure, Financial market being joked by few instituations who pull/push money across geos. Are the capital market is the indicator of India Shining or Bharat Nirman.
Australia has 1 Lakh students from China, whopping number. I could see apts, hotels, public places information written in English and Manderine. Why not, 1 Lakh students bring money to Australia, in terms of education, stationary, stay, food; where 2.2 Cr is the population, you have less than 1% students from a single country China. Then you have Koreans, Japanese, Vietanamese, Thai, & Malaysians. Makes the Asian population quite signficant here. There is a nation debate going for Islam adoption drives from religious groups. All retail stores, have part-time asian students; what a economy riding high on Mining, fruits/vegetables & tourism (education). Country is seems blessing China & Malaysia well.
Back in India, 120 Cr population, not sure 2011 census figures were out or not. Our economy lies on us, as we consume so much that the economy would be self sufficient. But, why not we become. Should we continue to be a commonwealth of Australia and controlled by Victoria to achieve this, or getting Independence made us to struggle the way we are. Sometimes I ask whether colonized was good or bad, At-least we could have got the same infrastructure as other colonized countries got. But, then what could have happened to such diverse society, would they continue to torture, Won't they get now. Why there is a insurgency in Telengana, Bengal, Orissa, leaving aside the biggest headache of India (J&K), are the minority are not treated on par still. Then, why there is a controversey on Arakshan.
