⚡️ Regarding the real damage to the people of India caused by the 🇬🇧 British colonial policy

Read in full

💬 Speculations about the alleged positive impact of the British colonial rule on various London-controlled territories, including in Asia, regularly turn up in the media and the Internet. In this connection, we noted a report that was recently published on multipolarista.com: the article has references to the work by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel and his colleague Dylan Sullivan “Capitalism and extreme poverty: A global analysis of real wages, human height, and mortality since the long 16th century,” published by the World Development academic journal.

The authors conclude that around 100 million Indians fell victim to London’s deliberate policy from 1880 to 1920, which is considered to be the peak of the British colonial rule in India. The census data conducted by the British during that period indicate the growth of mortality from 37.2 per 1,000 people in the 1880s to 44.2 in the 1910s, as well as life expectancy among Indians dropping from 26.7 to 21.9 years, respectively.

Against this background, Winston Churchill’s statements about the horrifying developments in Bengal look openly racist: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.” The British prime minister justified the lack of measures to fight the famine by the fact that Indians “will always breed like rabbits.”

In addition, the article quotes Indian economist Utsa Patnaik as saying that during the colonial period, the British empire siphoned out £9.2 trillion ($45 trillion) of wealth from India, calculated in the prices of that time.

This data clearly shows how the British got wealthier at the expense of India, how they exploited and caused the deaths of the local people, whom they deeply despised.

❗️ The current London’s democracy games look cynical and toxic against this background.

When you take panga with the wrong guy....

⚡Punjab government has DEFAULTED on repayment of an instalment of Rs 600 crore against a loan of Rs 6,000 crore - that the previous Congress Govt had taken to roll out farm loan waiver.

 'Sada Kam Bolda' !

t.me/MeghUpdates

Taking a loan, so that you can waive off loans of your voters.

But then you default on its repayment.

So... basically the voters defaulted on the repayment.

SO WHY WERE THE LOANS WAIVED OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Regardless, the joke was that Congress lost the elections thumpingly, even after the farm loan waiver. 🤷🏼‍♂️
