A spat broke out on social media between a number of Twitter followers and a Facebook director. It all occurred after India's telecoms authority banned Facebook's Free Basics service - a controversial scheme to offer a free but basic internet service to poor Indians. In response one of the company's directors - Marc Andreessen - said that that anti-colonialism has been "economically catastrophic" for the Indian people for decades. He's since apologised saying he's "100% opposed to colonialism, and 100% in favour of independence and freedom, in every country, including India". But what does this incident say about western attitudes towards India? Callers share their views with Nihal. (Photo Copyright: Getty Images)
