what apprehensions did the people across the nation have about the future of india and how did they prove it false
Answers
The average Briton's view of India:
India is a great place to go on holiday but it's a bit too far away. Could you move it a bit closer please?
India has monsoons and elephants. Elephants are good. Monsoons aren't good as the rain is even worse than it is here.
India is very, very hot - even hotter than Spain.
There are a lot of people in India. Maybe like a billion or something.
Most of them work in call centres - probably about three quarters of a billion.
The ones who don't work in call centres are beggars or computer programmers or Bollywood dancers.
There are no proper roads, just massive traffic jams, and everyone beeping their horns like mad as they sit in the jam.
Everyone sits on the roof of the trains too.
There are weird looking cows everywhere. Indians worship them or something.
They make films in a place called Bollywood. They're all musicals. The music is OK but the acting is dreadful and there's no story.
Some Indians write books and they usually win the Booker Prize.
Indians are good at cricket, but terrible at football. They have another weird game where the teams hold hands and chant or something.
Indians have Who Wants to be a Millionaire too.
Gandhi was from India. We aren't really sure what he did but it was good and involved lots of wise sayings and him being shot at the end.
Indians have arranged marriages which is a bit odd. Indian girls are all hot though, and Indians wrote the Kama Sutra, so it probably works out ok.
