What's new

Quetta Cantonment Before the 1935 Earthquake.

They also destroy/assimilate local cultures. Excel at leaving carbon copies of their own. (Wannabe's)
Take parts of North Africa, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and countries like Japan.


Then what's your REALISTIC solution to match Western dominance in almost everything ...Paint me a 25 year timeline for an average South Asian,West Asian or Central Asian country or race...Heck the Chinese ,Korean and Japanese even copy their formal dress and classical music
 
Being a colonial power has its merits and demerits. Singapore and Hong Kong are great examples of successful coexistence and mutual benefits. On the contrary Zimbabwe is bad example of mutual acrimony.
Below is an aerial view of Staff College Quetta ,which still produces brilliant educated officers for the Pakistan Army and other militaries.

Did British force Muslims to join the British Army? No. People join military for various reasons and one of it is to find a job. Some joined Military and end up fighting in WW I and WW II, Some joined Police forces and end up fighting our own people and some studied & went to Britain for higher studies like Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal . Note that both have been award knighthood.

Of course British, like all other powers, enforced strict control but that was not limited to Muslims. Heck even their white brothers in US revolted against the British taxes to gain Independence.



The fact the there many Muslims in UK including you is proof that British had been and are still being good to Muslims.



Don't Southasians have their own enclaves in the UK?
You have not answer why they favoured for hindu state in 1947 10 states against their will were handed over to india and 3 rivers which will be a mtter of life and death for Pakistan.they never thought once these are the people who gave their lives to save british empire from nazi Germany. They only want to see the smile on nehru and RSS faces,who kill muslims and enjoy the party.

British were weak after WW II and they just wanted to leave. They never gave anything to the Hindus. They left it to the discretion of the princely states to decide what they wanted to do? Did British fight for Hindus? certainly not. If Muslims were strong,we could have got Hyderabad, Bengal, Kashmir and Assam.
 
Some more old memories from our beautiful Cantonment area of Quetta.

Sadly even after 85 years Quetta never achieved its former magnificence and glory.
