Should U.K. Apologize for Its Imperial Past?

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron became on Wednesday the first serving British Premier to visit the Jallianwala Bagh memorial in the northern India which marks the 1919 massacre of scores of unarmed Indian protesters by British colonial troops.Although he talked about a shameful act, the British as well as the Indian media noticed that he failed to apologize.

A very interesting discussion followed on the national radio whether he was right not to apologize. What are your views?

You can also read here how he defended himself.
