I understand why the Indians hate the British


The trains the British built kill like 10 million Indians a year

Progressives all over the world are the same wherever you go...

Blameless, low IQ, and violent.

I watch some of those travel bloggers on YouTube and have noticed that with India, all of their “nicer” buildings were built by the British. They probably still use the same water and sewer systems built by the British. Hell, even the train cars they use look to be British. It leads one to ask if these nasty frickers have done anything for themselves in infrastructure since 1947 other than build some call centers?

The British set out to civilize the dark places of Earth, but in the end those places barbarized Britain.

Eh, the British really did do actions to de-industrialize India.

What's more bullshitty is how these people from African countries that didn't even have the wheel or written language until the 1890s act like Britain is the reason why their country is a shithole.

So, they probably should have just taxed the business a bit more rather than taking over.

The problem they had at the time was the East India Company executives were about to become more powerful than the PM.

And my point stands: It was a net negative to Britain.
In the end, yes. Over the course of it? No.
