Extract

Relations between Indonesia and the Netherlands have shown a rancour on the Indonesian side, and en obduracy on the part of the Netherlands, unparallelled in the relations between any other ex-colony and its former imperial master. The bitterness of Indian nationalists has dissipated itself into a reverence for things English above all others, whilst the French attitude in Indo-China, similar in many ways to that of the Dutch in the Indies, and the fighting in the Indo-Chinese war, far heavier than those of the Netherlands military actions in 1948 and 1949, have still left the peoples of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos with warrior feelings for France than the Indonesian government has for the Netherlands.
