FWIW, I don't hear many Indians blaming colonialism for the ills here (could be because I'm white and nobody wants to be insulting). It's more something that folks in Western countries talk about as far as I can tell.

EDIT: elsewhere on this thread, @sremani mentioned they are an Indian living in the US, so readers should not read my comment in favor of theirs.

That, and also being conditioned not to thing so and blame themselves. Works wonder for keeping them at bay.

:) Ah, colonialization and its many wonders!

Let's not forget post-colonialization. Less explicit, still as effective in resource grubbing and divide-and-conquer.

From the people that lovingly prepared the best conflict zones for after they leave, such as India-Pakistan, Israel-Palestine, Ethiopia-Eritrea, Iran-Iraq, Nothern-Southern Cyprus etc.
