Think about it, no Raj, no cricket in India.

This could be ported to the national footy team, and still be very relevant...

If India win the world cup.
There will be massive celebrations on the
streets of...

Harrow
Southall
Leicester
Wembley

The looted and plundered weath is coming back soon to subcontinent

Someones bitter.. who else would drink your tea if not us ........... we made you who you are

Russia, Iran, the US and the UAE are all bigger drinkers of Indian tea than the UK, with Germany not far behind.

If, of course, you meant to ask how India would have become a major tea-growing country if England hadn't smuggled tea seeds out of China and paid Indians a slave wage to grow it for the colonial overlords who were exploiting them, then I'd say there'd have been a fair chance of it getting there eventually anyway, just as it reached many other countries without Britain's selfless concern for their development.

IOAG , come on mate,you forgot to mention the populations of Russia,USA,and Iran. All have larger populations,UAE on the other hand has a smaller population,but it's populace is largely made up of people from the sub continent.

Their are stats and their are stats, as all good school teachers should know !

Not sure we should be taking comments from our colonies that seriously.
More education needed.

Hi Harl!

Indeed, no one except the Turkish and the Irish drink more tea than the Brits, but in fairness the comment I was replying to wasn't about per capita tea consumption, it was about who would buy India's tea if Britain didn't and the secondary implication that it was the Empire who built Indian identity.
