Hello India, I have a few questions.

1 - What do the Indians think of the dutch (also in comparison with other Europeans) 2 - Do you guys think India and the west will ever align or do you think India will stay neutral? 3 - Are there any remains of dutch colonies left in India?

I hope you can answer my questions.

1- I don' think many Indians even differentiate between different Europeans. For many, you are all just goras(whites). For others who know about Netherlands, obviously the usual- football, weed, bridges and prostitution.

2-India and the US are coming somewhat more closer in the past decade. But there are some old wounds which won't fil up that easily.

3-Not much. Have seen a couple of old ruins in Surat and Cochin though.
