So which is it to be for you personally?, you say you recently came to know this, I assume that being the point of your thread, but later say your not sure of race, and base the origins of British people to Indians on some things in common like 'consevative' minds.

Well as a nation Britain has developed from the Roman empire then the viking invaders hence the Anglo Saxon roots, our religion and culture is derived from Roman spread christianity and paganism from the Anglo Saxons (basically put)
Britain then spread its empire to incorporate India and its bordering nations, traditional culture, religious beliefs and genetic looks were all then completely alien to the British people.
Having a conservative view isn't a genetic condition exclusive to any ethnic group nor to is a religious belief, or any one singular cultural choice, but the differences between Indians and British at the start of Britains reign was HUGE.
Indians have a completely differing culture and religious beliefs, Indians dress differently, have a caste system of rich down to poor, food, language, music, dance, and politics are all almost opposites of what is considered historically British.
Sure we once shared status under the same empire, but Indians then (in the bad old days) were despised and usually came way down the list of value when it came to people in general, most were treated as slaves in there own country.

Its fair to say some people in Britain do hate Indians, a very small minority thankfully and when compared with the two respective populations you'll probably find its a smaller group in numbers than that of Indians that hate British people for the very same ignorant reasons.
I think British people are considerably different in almost every aspect of culture and living, and I aslo think thats another reason why British people have so much respect for people of Asia as a whole, more respect I'd say than the majority of Indians in India who still adhere to the incredibly predudicial caste system which would be dspised of in a fair and free country like Britain is.

*edit* btw the caste system is based on a persons background if your from a rich family and traditions you stay in that caste, if your unlucky in a poor caste your in trouble.
A bit like the heaven and hell scenario on BB at the moment but in Idia its for real.
