On Friday 24-6-2016 a decision to exit from EU shocked nation and the whole world. United Kingdom was not united via threatened referendum by Scotland to exit from Britain. Ireland was sad too. EU was threatened by exit referendums by at least 5 European countries. Post-Brexit developments raises doubt about wisdom to Brexit from E.U. United kingdom is not united, Britain’s credit rating slipped from AAA to AA., affluence wise Britain was pushed behind France etc., more than 3 million signatories have petitioned to reverse the referendum which is not binding. If they collect more signatures than Brexiters, referendum can be nullified.

David Camroon has resigned hastily, such cancellation is impossible. We must be optimistic in face of result that has gone against all expectations by bankers, journos, and bookies. All efforts must be made to rally support of national well-wishers countries. Six hundred years ago poverty ridden England looked towards India and established British East India Company. History is repeating itself, and time is ripe to look at India again. India has massive customer base and can open doors of SAARC organization and countries on the rim of Indian Ocean.
