You're dreaming if you think Class E ie full-blown controlled airspace for IFR
These two aircraft would not have collided in Class E airspace.

All that would do is make Mangalore one-in, one-out
Yes, yes it would. In IMC that's exactly what it means.

Class E would not stop a VFR running into an IFR
In IMC conditions it would, that's how Class E works. If a VFR ran into an IFR in IMC in Class E then there's a different problem isn't there? But you're letting your 'Tossbag obsession' turn you into a ranting loon.

AEM had been airborne, heading for Mangalore, for 27 minutes before being passed to JQF. JQF should have got traffic on AEM on taxi.
ATC expert now? You haven't got all of the ATC picture here, you've got air/ground comms only, on one aerodrome, not the 20 or 30 other that this person was looking after plus the en-route traffic plus the internal co-ord that needs to be done. Class E in these sectors and there wouldn't be one controller looking after this debacle.

Rant, rant, rant. You've got 10% of the picture but you're a 100% expert, well done you
