if they had snobbish enough a few decades earlier, we would all be spared a hundred years of colonization, the Great Bengal Famine as well as the single most dangerous nuclear flashpoint that exists in the world right now.
Out of curiosity, what nuclear disaster are you referring to?
India and Pakistan border dispute, both having nukes bc the British split them up into Hindu and Muslim nations. I don't agree on a bunch of levels, but that is what they are getting at. For starters, the border dispute between India and China is much "hotter" right now.
