Romila Thapar talks about the manipulation of historical facts by the British Raj to justify their conquest of the Indian subcontinent in this thought-provoking video.
No, I am a subject of French colonization, and it sucks mucho. The worst empire is actually the Japanese...if you're colonized by Japan, expect half of your population to disappear.
All empires become rich at the suffering of the mass. However, if you compare what the British left for the countries they colonized, then I think these colonizers should be acquitted from many traditional criticisms-they built societies, left law and order, and stimulated commerce. The French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. all left chaos and continued exploitation to this day.
after all brahmanic Hindus are not so good. read the history written by some of the most oppressed sections of Indian society.
for what ever reason it is, colonialism is present in every society. in india, before British arrived there was a more oppressive colonialism by some stupid upper castes. therefore it is not just good to blame british that they have distorted the beautiful well ordered society for their gains.remember 'sati'..... dalit opperession... it goes on and on.
@Natashat5151 this woman thapar has always loved to promote the idea that the west and muslim were justified in invading india because indian society was cruel. Now that she has probably faced some racism in the west, she has changed her views. Now she does not promote the western colonial invasions. But she is still happy to deny or justify invasions by muslims. What a hypocrite woman. She used to promote aryan invasion theory but has mellowed down.I guess whites didn't treat her as one of them

@Natashat5151 Wrong. Britain did not become rich through its empire. Every retarded fool seems to think that.
