this movie particularly did not get oscar , but Ray did. and danny can not come close to Ray

[deoman99]

Oscar award is inferior since its inception.Why bother about that sort of recognition.

@5:00 "doesn't leave him much time for his concubines, not to speak of the affairs of state..." ...dry wit at its best...

[Krantiforu]

What a great acting by Sir Richard Attenborough...mind blowing!!

@6:52 is interesting. Weston is struck with disbelief, amazement, grief, unwarrantedness.

I feel that he had soft corner for the king...

and FINALLY the British Raj Rule of India must not be dismissed as the rule of "just another invader in a long line of invaders" because they are back in the region, militarily with 10,000 troops in Afghanistan and military advisors in Pakistan.....doing exactly what the East India Company were doing harvesting Heroin/Opium out of that wretched country, under the pretext of fighting "terrorism".

and took the loot to London, turning it into a magnificent city. 3) Killed 30 million Indians through sheer greed and mismanagement ......no other "invader" has achieved such numbers 4) Accentuated the division of Indian society far more sharply...under "divide and rule". 5) Created an inferiority complex within the Indian Anglocised elite, through the Maclauey Doctrine which still adversely affects the leadership and governance/government of South Asian countries 6) They had a loathing

India over 3,500 years has been invaded by many races such as the Aryans from Central Asia, Persians, Greeks, Kushans, Saka, White Huns, the Turkic/Afghans, BUT unlike these invaders from the near abroad who assimilated and became Indians.......15% of Indians have Iranian genes....Raj Kapoor et al, 1) The British never assimilated into Indian society, unlike the above 2) They looted the country systematically...$1--2 trillion worth of Indian assets.

Granted that this is a casual sight where we post without much care to detail and actual facts, but I must correct you on the fact of India's overall wealth pre- East India Company/Raj colonialism (1757--1947). India in 1750 was the second richest nation on earth (China number 1) accounting for 25% of manufacturing in the world.
