India is on a much better footing now

This is indeed a genuine concern. Brexit in isolation may not be a big challenge. In fact, if this forces the European elites to have a rethink on their strategy, undergo necessary reforms and focus toward stamping out the shortcomings that the current construct of the European Union suffer from, then the overall effect of Brexit maybe indeed be positive in the longer run.

And in that case, Brexit may be just be the beginning.
