why did britain granted independece to India and Malaysia?

Answer 1

I think it was a smart move to handle them that way. The truth is independance isn't always what it is cracked up to be. England is not the same as it was many years ago. I noticed that England also given Aussie the right to chose it's coarse as a nation of whom the majority of the people are loyal to the English. I'm a American and my favorite country other than the USA is England. The English political agenda has made atleast one friend here...

Answer 2

Seems like they decided to let a lot of territories they occupied become independent,like Hong Kong and the islands out their by the Bahama's.Maybe they just flat out couldn't afford taking care of all those countries problems especially since they have a lot of their own .Just like us.
