LOL..... so your whole defense is that a few other hindus did it, so its fine if the Parsis did it
The british "trusted" parsis to do the drug trade because the parsis told them that they were "NOT HINDUS" and had no moral scruples to make a quick buck over starving hindu dead bodies.
Claiming that India arrived at the "Industrial age" due to the Drug trade is as absurd as claiming that the british "gave" us railways
Either of them would have happened anyway, with or without the british OR the parsis.
LOL at your suggestion that the the cities of a nation that constituted 23% of the global GDP was built AFTER the british came ans started the Drug trade
The hands of the parsis are DRIPPED in Hindu and Chinese blood. THAT is your true legacy. Now fade away into irrelevance like a good bawa. Till nature wipes out your kind. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The King pin of the Parsi lot was JJ or Sir Jamsedjee Jeejeebhoy ( 1753 to 1859 ). He shared his spoils with the British , was their middle-man, and did their dirty work—so they knighted him in 1842 –and made him a Baron in 1857.
He partnered Jardine and Matheson in HongKong to be the leaders of the biggest drug cartel in the world. He was one of the 6 directors of the Bank of Bombay, in addition to owning ships, agencies, brokering houses, and commercial clearing houses.
JJ was born in India in 1783, to a impoverished weaver in Yatha Yahu Vairyo Muhalla near Crawford market Mumbai. --and soon became an orphan. Till the age of 16 he had NO formal education. Then he burst into the big league of drug running. He visited China on East India company ships. He was also called Battliwala, as he lived with his uncle Framjee who dealt in recycled garbage bottles .
At the age of 20 he married Batliwala’s 10 year old daughter Avibhai.
He was the first to be knighted from India and made a Baron, by a grateful queen Victoria—as he held the moolah.
JJ was initiated into the opium trade by another Parsi by the name of Hirji Readymoney. Hirji has small ships smuggling opium to Canton in 1755. His sudden wealth and splurge earned him the nickname Ready money.
