India PM Modi urges country to shed its colonial past • FRANCE 24 English

Just hours before news of Queen Elizabeth II's death spread, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a fiery speech urging India to shed its colonial ties in a ceremony to rename a boulevard that once honoured King George V. The renovated avenue now boasts a black granite statue of Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose, in the place where a mould of King George V, Elizabeth's grandfather, once stood.

[artman]

Western stooges in India don’t like this.

[BubblewrapHighway]

India deserves to be its own power bloc. Don't bow down to the capitalists or communists.

What's wrong in getting rid of colonial past ? Is that a part of *Soverignity*

[harshittyagi]

Modi asks to shed colonial past
Le Queen:

[seventhuser]

Indians should embrace their ancient heritage and completely shed the Colonial past.

[radhika]

It's actually bizarre just after launch, uk queen dies after few hrs later. 🤣🤣it's seriously bizarre.

Dr Raju Phillip is bound to feel nostalgic about the colonial past. You cant blame him for that. India became the fifth largest economy in the world, surpassing the UK, and most importantly, without looting the UK

[EdwardPlantagenet]

It's not against Britain or anyone, but it's for us to remember our glorious past when India had 25% share of world economy. When we were not above or below anyone.

UK left leaving behind India pakistan and china fighting for their border issues also what they did with the Palestinians when they left Israel suddenly undemarcated and now blaming russia for their inhumane actions

[Sandy-qsog]

British looted 45 trillion from India! Wow!

[bulthaosen]

Looks like the queen's soul got sniped. Maybe she was feeding off India. What a timing 😆

[HimanshuShukla]

Netaji shubhas arrived queen departed ... cosmic irony 😑

[bipinmistry]

It is quite fitting that The Modi government is removing colonial symbols in the same month as the Queen passed away and India overtook the Uk as the largest economy in the world. God bless India and Modiji! 🙏❤️🇮🇳🕉💯👌

[pradyumn]

After the speech about removing the colonial past, the legend has it that Modi dialled directly to a R&AW agent in UK. I forget his name.. Sunak something.

[ピッピ-ep]

That was what I was thinking too. The US Navy was not allowed to use this port in Asia recently and it kind of triggered something what the West is doing and the past comes across these days. It is also kind of same with China but they are colored as well so like several nations already went to China

[inibinitapatini]

World should follow this.. down with king or queen

[subhamsingh]

Pakistan is the only colonial legacy left in the region
