First off they would not have referred to the land as India or anything meaning something similar to India. They obviously wouldn't use the term but a lot of what is now called India would have been considered Unpakistan. Pakistan refers to the pure land of Islam after most of the Infidels have been exterminated or fled. So much of what is now India was exploited by Muslim tyranny. Britain liberated India. Britain saved India.
Great Britain does not come out of egotism this is anther filthy cultural Marxist lie. It just means the bigger Britain as opposed to the smaller Britain, the region of France.
The Christian God has a name Yahweh or Jehovah. In fact he has multiple names. Not all Hindus are Polytheists, let alone all Indians. The ignorance of this cretin just beggars belief.
When the English arrived in what would become the British Raj. All of "India" was socially inferior to England, but much of it was spiritually superior to England. The colonisation of India was one of if not the most fortuitous event in world history. We saved India from the Muslims, so the whole world could benefit from its non Islamic cultures.
Ay Rich, you have always been a very intelligent and interesting man.
But you suffer from prejudice and also cultural superiority syndrome.
You need to really live in other cultures for years and years, speak another language and really be able to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
To think greed becomes helping and civilizing is the filthy lie Rich. Not the other way around.
You do not treat people whom you care about as culturally or spiritually inferior, and not all of India or Umpakistan was Muslim. Hinduism is old. Siddharta and that story of the Prince who became Buddha and spawned an Eastern religion called Buddhism is a cultural phenomenon.
England was not making it better. It was exploiting the hell out of India. That is a reality. If the groups that opposed British rule were happy with the British they would not have been able to achieve independence in 1946. British colonialism failed. Mainly, because it was about greed and a lack of respect for the rights of other people who were different and conflicted with the English's goal of exploitation of the resources of that land.
Accept that defeat and change. Never go for colonialism and imperialism as a policy ever again. It just ends in a mess and failure and dead English people as well as dead native people of that land. That is a fact.
You are seriously denying reality with that Rich.
I wonder why you are so prejudiced eh? The liberals and the conservatives both are into bad policy for the world.
The truth is that there is nothing superior about barbaric threats of death and destruction, occupation and impositions on people who do not share your own history or culture. It is about disrespect and force and greed. All tactics based on greed, force and disrespect is not about civilizing the savages. It is about using savagery in service of elitist greed.
And lying to people who are told lies all day in order to justify not dealing with the lack of investment in their own societies because they want to spend the money on wars of conquest and oppressing people instead of caring and preserving and improving themselves and their own people. It should be universally condemned forever. Not living in denial Rich.
But, I did love your story about your father during WWII and only weighing hardly a few stone, and the conditions lived for the British in the past. Something about you speaks to me Rich. You have such talent.
But, I am not English or white. My experience is completely different than yours. My experience says that to think or believe that you and yours are superior to me and mine is really a lie. Not true. I can't accept lies as truth for me. No, that is never the best way forward in life.
For me, all humans are human first. The conditions vary. But that essence of being human does not.
What are you going to say next?
The British and the English are the best humans on planet Earth. They got the best food, art, land, civilization, culture and spirituality? I would say? That sure is debatable.
