I, and indeed most Indians, would heartily agree with you. All I was trying to refute was your association of the inclusions of India with the idea of 'world government'. What makes us closer to India than, say, Cambodia or Peru? Why, all the same things which make us closer to Australia than Germany. The question is one of degree, and our cultural and historical links with India, while present and important, are nowhere near so strong as those between the CANZUK countries, or even the USA.
