Don't forget the brits' contributions to the civilization of india, ending barbaric 'traditions' etc.
This is evident from the fact that once both the muslims and brits were gone, leaving the hindus to their own devices, you got the shining india of today. Like the reverse metamorphosis of a butterfly into a slug

 

[Paitoo]

Just what the doctor ordered

Plenty of muslim women here, you'll fit right in.

Not talking about muslim women at all, bud. Talking about the deprived hindu souls.

Muslim civilization??? Heard it first time.
You pakistanis must read the ancient history of the land where you are born. How rich and civilized it was and compare it with today's Pakistan.
According to your logic, Pakistan must be the most civilized country in the world as it practice Islam seriously.? Nah?

Not talking about muslim women at all, bud. Talking about the depraved Indian pussy.

There, FTFY

Free world, bro. Have at it.. in certain sections of society, intermingling of that sort is quite common and nobody even thinks twice. It is rarer among IMs but there are a lot of very socially liberal single Muslim women around who have broken free the shackles traditional society had once imposed.. again, rarer, probably because they are only 15 odd % in total.. and among them a smaller yet % gets to a high'ish economic freedom level in the big cities where that kind of thing is rampant.

There's all sorts of people here.

Nah, bro. Not talking about that either. I am specifically referring to the one of things muslims brought to india that are being discussed today. All-halal sausage. Most recently, I read about it where some VHP bros were not letting muslims into that festival, I think it's called the Garba, you know? so they don't lure your women with the mighty sausage. The not-so secret weapon with which indian muslims are fighting and ostensibly winning love zihad.
