India and Quebec Share An Uncomfortable Existence?

I was reading about the 150th anniversary of the India Mutiny the other day in 'History Today'. One of the quotes that intrigued was by Lord Desai who said, "What a strange country India has become. Even after 60 years of independence (to say nothing of thousands of years of history), it sill lack self-confidence to feel comfortable in its own skin."

40 years after the Quiet Revolution is Quebec a mature society comfortable in "its own skin"?

Much points that indeed it is. However, an equal argument can be made that it is not the case. My observations lean me towards the former - when considering nationalists anyway.
