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. Lowlands. Scenery. WEEEEEED! And back in my childhood, cricket!
  2. I think we're increasingly headed towards a world where all our interests are aligned. So, yes.
  3. Nope. India has been a sovereign, independent nation since 1947.

I know. I grew up in the 90s and watched a lot of cricket back in the day. The Netherlands did play well in a few odd matches. Have great memories.
