Indian's Black money in Swiss banks
Interesting details. But I guess the money is kind of gone one for india. The fact that most of the money are illegal, who would come forward to declare it? Thinking back, the movie Shivaji had a real point about black money.

british and indian history
AIT is proposed by a German (Max Muller) if i am not wrong. Also, I think AIT was only never came out of literary/debate circle to gain a momentum. Even Swami Vivekananda dismissed the theory in a singe sentence, that there is no evidence to it.
