I happened to watch a scene in a movie today which portrayed the incident of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre where about a 1000 (estimates vary) unharmed Indians were shot dead by the British
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre) about 90 years back. Well, this is old news, but I wanted to know a little more about what happened, why etc.

While reading the Wiki entry above, I was appalled by the insensitive comments by the queen and her husband.
What kind of animals would do what these people did? Were they any different from the Nazis?
And mind you, they were guests here in India. They came to India in the 17th century to carry out trade.
A few years back I read a book about Congo and how Belgium raped the country. Most countries that are generally considered now to be civilized especially those in western Europe seem to have perpetrated atrocities in the past.
Does one rape/murder/plunder just because the other person is black/brown/green etc? Some people leave a bad taste in the mouth when they visit our house.
