What is the blood group of an Indian

In the early 1950s (?) As the young English queen was getting married in England, the last Governor General, and uncle of the queen, Lord Mountbatten sought leave from New Delhi to attend the Royal marriage. He called on Gandhiji and the shrewd old man of India, presented him with a wedding gift - handspun shawl for the Crown couple. The Mahatma himself spun the yarn for the shawl inside the British prison. This shawl is now the most precious piece in the Crown’s Collection. The next precious is the Kohinoor that the English robed from Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.

In early 2005,, an Indo –British girl married to a native Englishman had arrived to her parental home in Dehradun for an Indian (Sikh) ceremony. It was attended by an English marriage party “baratis” - some 35 cousins, uncles, step –brothers, step-fathers and step-uncles along with their partners and soul-mates. That day as we were showering blessings with rose petals on the newly wed couple- I realized: how far have we come in these post-Independence 50+ years. We were embracing, with open heart, our extended families from all the way from the source of the Thames to the source of Holy Ganga. Indo-British relations have taken a new turn. We have embarked on a futuristic collaborative journey to make this world a better place for the generations to come.
Once at London University Students Union I volunteered to give blood donation. “What is your blood group?” I am Indian, but… The scientific knowledge of the blood group became important against narrow confines of national or racial identities.

Admittedly, when England invaded India, it acted from purely selfish motives. We had to defend ourselves and Gandhi was right to oppose the Empire. We shouted, “ Quit India, the British go back.” But neither India nor the English could foresee that the final outcome of the historical conflict would be gloriously so unifying– for both of us, and leading towards Global World Order. Churchill was wrong in opposing the Indian Freedom. But Gandhi was prophetic in saying: “ We are opposed to Empire, but English are welcome.”
