I've read an entire book on the history of the British Empire. I'm well aware of the differences. South Korea suffered far more brutal treatment than India did: Korea was conquered by the Japanese who are still notorious today throughout Asia for their rampant brutality in war, then it was cleaved in two by a communist revolution. Compared to that an organised handover of power from the colonials to home rule is a stroll through a grassy meadow.
