Niranjan,
Your silence on my final points is deafening.
Besides your prejudices being evidence of becoming the monster you so wish to destroy,
You are still confusing individual persons with the actions of governments and those in power.
By your own standards, I can hold you accountable for every crime India has ever committed across time. Denial of such crimes does not negate them.
Ultimately this is my point, and I might add Gandhi's point as well. Either we let bygones be bygones, or we cling to those errors of the past that chain us and hold us down. If we are persecuted, it is as much on ourselves as any other for allowing it. Even should a crime such as rape occur, it is still the individual who chooses to wallow in the self pity of victimhood, or to take the experience and turn it into a constructive lesson for themselves and others.
You may quote facts and figures all day long, I can counter with opposing facts and figures, all of which from both sides are calibrated to our respective points of view. Of course, that would require me to play the game by your rules, the rules of wallowing. I play the game by rules that are above that.
One person can't change the world...but they can sure make a real impact if they apply themselves by doing. Nothing was ever accomplished by sitting back and pointing a finger.
You see injustice in the world? OK, so do I. The question really is, what are you doing about it besides complaining? Otherwise, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

Why, for choosing to take control of my own life? For preferring to not let people like you keep me down by your stereotypes? I may have been born into disadvantage (as measured by money or status), but it is my choice to remain there or not. Life may have dealt me some cruel blows, as I can assure you it has, but it is my choice to let these things control me or I can choose to overcome them. I can point a finger at everything I see as wrong and evil in the world, or I can do what I can to make life better for myself and those within my influence. I can blame everybody who I think causes me pain (real or imagined), or I can take responsibility for my own actions to do what I can to remedy those things I can actually do.
