    Personally I belong to a place which had been a colony of France, and we do have a genial feeling towards France/French. It’s British towards whom we have that colonial master kind of feeling. Goa had to be freed through army intervention from Portugal, but no ill feeling towards Portugal today.

      The British were extremely brutal in India, and I can understand that India doesn’t feel comfortable cooperating with UK, especially on for instance defense.
      But UK is not in EU anymore, and still India seems to have that anti European sentiment, as if it was Europe and not UK that were the colonists.
      Anyways I just find it sad that India prefer to cooperate with Russia, A country that today is clearly worse than Europe and China.
      Not siding with USA however, has turned out to be a very good choice. USA has turned to absolute shit, and is extremely unreliable.
