Obviously. When you go to a friend's house, you don't tell him how smelly he is or how dirty his house is when you're not around. You praise his personal qualities and possibly his family ethics to make him feel better. It is always a formality when bigwigs visit each other's countries.))) Because Cameron has been advised not to step on tail of Indians
Don't mention Kashmir, poverty in India, UK PM advised

LONDON: Look out for the "elephant traps" in India, dont mention Kashmir and avoid patronising references to poverty. Dont dare criticise and instead talk of the "New India".
For the past two days British media has been full of tips to Prime Minister David Cameron, who arrived in India Tuesday night, on how not to upset India if his trip is to be a success. But taking the cake is the tongue-in-cheek advice in the Financial Times reflecting on British and Indian attitudes on certain sub-continental issues.
The newspaper's columnist Alex Barker in his blog asks Cameron to look out for "elephant traps" in India.
The first is 'Kashmir', he says. Recalling controversial utterances by previous British foreign secretaries like Robin Cook and David Miliband, Barker tells Cameron: "The quickest way to turn a charm offensive into a diplomatic fiasco. The basic rule: British ministers should say nothing. Don't dare criticise, offer to help, or link bringing peace to tackling terrorism. Stray words have consequences."
The second is 'Poverty'. "More poor people than anywhere on earth. But not worth mentioning too loudly. Talk about the New India instead. Mention the aid review. A patronising tone is fatal."
The third, 'Coming over too fresh'. Barker says: "The young, dynamic, no-nonsense version of Cameron should probably be left behind. It's time to learn some manners. Indian politicians are, as a rule, double his age and four times as grand. If the meetings are stuffy, formal, overbearingly polite, that's a good thing."
The fourth is the 'Immigration cap'. The columnist writes: "A big issue for the Indian elite. Anand Sharma, the commerce minister, raised his 'concerns' earlier this month with Cameron himself. A heavily bureaucratic and stingy visa regime will not encourage Indians to work or study in Britain."

Just like the Japanese businessmen would have fond memories of mauling Chinese when they sign trade deals with the Chinese isn't it? Afterall the present day Japanese didn't drop in from Mars; they have their ancestors' imperial blood too.daivd cameron is a tory and had royal blood, one would expect him to have fond memories of being a master of india during the british empire.
they need to send another East India Company

i really accept ur thoughtOne thing i would like to say to myself is :
These are the same countries which termed my country as third world, land of snake charmers and land of elephants and what not.
Today for money they speak another language. This does not mean we should not trust them. But never let this get to head.
Only when this country can continue like this for atleast another decade or two and decrease the poverty and corruption can we really pat ourselves on the back.
This should be the mantra for my country and countrymen. And i think it is, the reason for which we are growing, but lot needs to be done.
