Bla bla. Without us your country will probably consists of 6 different states today and you will nowhere be as big as you are today. For one Arunachal Pradesh(south Tibet) will rightly be part of China, many border regions of India that we carved out from Burma to add to our India empire will be part of Myanmar, the many kingdoms we had to suppress in your country to set up a central government/administrative center will not exist etc.
India has remained united under indigenous kingdoms in past, even if one of fragmented state (if there was no colonialism) was there to have aspirations to be nation again, there won't have been any problem. China and Japan are nice examples. India could even get Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Ever heard of Chola Navy.
Even today, Judging by the many rebel groups fighting for independence against the Indian government, you should acknowledge we contributed to making India the nation it is today.
How many of "freedom fighters" are indigenous people today. Let's take example of Kashmir who hadn't even a print of Islam in history.
Whatever, we have been crushing them and free countries have been doing since past.
Fact is that most of separatist moments "running" (as if they get attention) in India or Pakistab have headquarters in Britain. I hope British Government is trying it's best to restrict them (with high level of sarcasm).
Only pride makes you people refuse to acknowledge that. Despite the fact that we gave you our language, law, governance system, administrative system etc which you still use to this day.
India has world's largest written constitution which is an extract from qualities of other Democracies, not a monarchy.
I have been on British forums and can see how ignorant and hypocrite guys.they are.
The only thing British are taught they "civilized" their colonies and defying the suction of money from other countries.
Whenever a Former Colony achieves something, their media reminds that India is still a third world poor country and such missions are "controversial".
They did this with our "aid", just to feel good about themselves.
Just go through comment section of this newspaper. Shameless people with baseless rants.
"We funded India's space program."
"We are funding Indian Military."
And even,
"We have spent on Indian People more than Indians themselves."
And do you know what's this "aid"?
The aid given to "Human Rights" NGO (
Non Government Organizations) like Amnesty International, Greenpeace India and so called "freedom fighters".
I don't need to tell that how much peace they have propagated here.
And what's the amount? $2 billions? British commentors say that they can fund our defence, space program & general budget with this? We have annual expenditure of $570 billions, $250+ billions is central budget alone out of that. Never mind that India is itself a donor of aid.
You people only focus on the bad things we did, deliberately forgetting/ignoring our many good deeds.
What good deeds? The only thing Biritsh have been asserting that entire world lived like tribes except them.
We have had the ability to nuke you for more than half Century now. Now that you have tested a missile that hypothetically can hit parts of Europe (not even operational yet) you now start boasting about nuking Britain and how Britain deserves it? Lol.
You newcomers to the international scene can sometimes be funny.
More funny thing is that in few years, many British ships will be left without basic weapons like AShMs.
And even better, India doesn't even bother about UK. It's India basher British media as usual. Just trying to feel important or probably creating other d*ck measuring contest in their poll.
They wrote, "who'll start nect world war".
Options:
All I know that India isn't involved in any conflict, they must have listed up China for SCS which they didn't.
UK? It's even not relevant country now. UK has been cementing it's relationship neutrally with everyone because it's just now a fraction of what it used to be. UK is no longer a great power and only getting more fade, anybody may agree or not.
Don't get carried away by this news. It's just media sensationalising any news event to attract viewers.
We are not being carried away by news but comment section, it's awesome!
India is "Made in Britain" and is as much a British invention as fish an chips. If Britain had not come along and spilled blood there would have been no India or Pakistan. Instead Indian Sub Continent would have looked like Europe. Loads of small states based around ethnic groups.
And the stats given have been pulled out of this guy's a*ss. Records are even now difficult let alone 300 years ago. Can you ask these guy's what are the sources for stats given for 1700 to 1850? The first time in South Asia where stats for even population census began under British rule.
There have been a lot records kept by Kingdoms. Population census started after British entry? What the hell? From small states to big empires kept record of their population and strength of army (at least count, I don't know about socio economic records).
You know in a bizzare way that might have been the case. Lower population, smaller states and there would have no India/Pak thing.
Who knows ...
The strongest kingdom in the room occupies everything. People of country have been very identical in culture over that. It would have ended up like Ming Dynasty, Imperial Japan or Brazilian empire in end.
For Pak thing, if there was a non colonial India with a Muslim league with Jinnah, chances of a civil war were strong there.
Well, here I got something you may like.
