India is the Horned Rat of Warhammer Fantasy.
"In this case the Horned Rat is an embodiment of decay, ruin, pestilence, strife, hunger, ambition and all the other ignoble characteristics that represent the sum total of all the Skaven race is and all the ratmen hope to be."
"Undying and eternally scheming, this cunning deity patiently awaits the day of the 'Great Ascendancy,' when his children will swarm across the face of the mortal world, devouring it from within and granting him the power to become the greatest of all the gods."
Hmmm... In another fantasy world, the Rat was implied to symbolize the British.
