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.

There is nothing about India that interests me.

The dirtiness of the country just offers another reason not to go.

I had the same thought when I went to India. They were so proud to be free from British rule, but it looked like nothing had been built or maintained since the 50’s. Probably was a nice place when the British were there.

I went down the proverbial rabbit hole and watched several videos of big production shops, mostly doing light to heavy duty metalwork. Those shops are pig sties with trash all over the place, enough so that the workers are walking through it with just about every footstep.

Huge industrial machines with little to no safety feature in place, workers wearing loose fitting clothes and most either barefooted or in sandals. Forget about any hard hats.

Hell, even their "Sacred" Ganges River is a cesspool filled with trash, the occasional half burned body from the funeral pyres they do near the rivers edge and untold amounts of human waste since they think nothing about dropping trou and pinching off a loaf right then and there.

That country is a shithole.

this has been said a million times but it's hilarious how India went from being perceived as this magical, mysterious, spiritual place to absolute shithole that is the joke of the world in like 10 years

About half a million people die of diarrheal disease in India every year.

Less than 40 die in all of the USA every year.

India is a literal dump.

Between the disgusting hygiene, trash everywhere, crowds, smells, constant scammers, shitting in the streets, and general disgusting filth… India is a place I’d rather go to prison than visit.

As an American, I also blame our British colonizers for our lack of progress. Same for Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore

My military unit sent people over to train Indians, they reported they were the dumbest race on the planet. The ones who come here are the top .000000001%
