In re: Republic Day

I would have liked Dominion Status, with King Charles as our head of state & an updated Government of India Act which would operate as a basic law (constitution in another name).

I generally prefer the British to Bharatiya peopleS.

It's not that everything was good about British rule but we needed to have a renegotiated long term engagement & connection with them - One important thing could have been continued Privy Council (& now UK Supreme Court) oversight.
