India was probably a unique case in the context of Empire, due to size, complexity, the established Raj and the Viceroy.
My thoughts were more directed to those other smaller places, in Africa and the Caribbean, with long-forgotten names, and the Wind of Change that blew through Africa. Ah, how well they did after achieving their independence.
How we now applaud the status and stability of the former British Somaliland, Northern Rhodesia, Nigeria, The Southern Cameroons, Nyasaland [what's that now?], Uganda, The Gambia and Serra Leone. [/sarcasm]
