!bharatiya how many of you feel similarly? I don't really feel any animosity towards Clive or his ilk, they were doing what was best for them and their people I feel genocidal rage towards our kangs and their hangers on who were too busy getting drunk in their harems or squabbling among each other over succession though, fricking pisses me off that some of these leeches are still politically powerful.

Neither do I and if history were taught honestly no sane Indian would. I would even go as far as to say this resentment which seems to mix inferiority complex and superiority complex towards the west in general plays a huge a role in our post independence failure.

You can see the mentality that led to us applying Fabian socialism (or Nehruvian socialism whatever you want to call it). If Britain and by extension the west only developed through exploitation of Asia and Africa then obviously their dominant economic ideology (capitalism) has no merit. So we are going down our own path! Because we are special! We are better! We are more noble!.....and we remained a shithole.
You can go to any Indian forum and you'll probably see midwits parroting the "Our unique path of development" nonsense even today. This includes both leftoids and rightoids.

This is how it's been for most of the subcontinent's history.
The tendencies we see now have been repeating themselves for thousands of years, regardless of location, religion, or time period in the subcontinent.
Being repeatedly conquered by invaders is completely normal in societies where the warriors and rulers are subordinate too a bunch of nerds.
Practically half of all Hindu and Buddhist scripture is just prieststrags writing about how awesome they are and how inferior and awful the people protecting the borders and running the country were.
Despite this it was the priests who willingly served their Muslim and European rulers, and became rich by doing so.
Even now they flee tÓ western countries while shilling r-slurred policies back home.

What's the book? Google on chapter name not returning anything. I read a very interesting book on British India a few years back and it wasn't even chuddy.

Thank you, would you recommend it?
It was "A Matter of Honour" by Philip Mason. I thought it was excellent. Pretty contemporaneous (guy was a civil servant in India 1930s/40s). I should really read some of his other stuff- he was also in Rhodesia.

It's had some interesting stories about post colonial Arab history so far, the author's a and doesn't mince his words like a lot of similar accounts do so its been fun.
Yeah Anglo civil servants have written some interesting accounts on India, even more than 20th century ones I like 18th/19th century accounts cause of how alien everything feels, like it was a different country back then. The more I get into it the more I prefer similar accounts to sanitized current year compilations and the more my hatred grows for professional historians. Like I had to read an account about 'portrayals of India in 16th-18th century European accounts' written by some feminist yt foid and each of the accounts referred to sounded much more exciting than the sneed fest that was the actual article I had to review.

While the chinks were educating everyone regardless of class, a gaggle of brahminstrags were circlejerking about how sooperior they were and gatekeeping basic literacy from most people. And when invaders came knocking they immediately got on their knees to suck them off.

Chinks didn't educate everyone regardless of class lmao. The scholar bureaucrats were almost entirely from the landed gentry and that's how far literacy spread till modern age.

The patriarchy made up the science behind what healthy looks like in order to control the matriarchy's weight for their own sexual greed. There is no difference between a 150 pound woman and a 500 pound one and anybody who says the 500 pound woman is less healthy is only brainwashed by patriarch propaganda or is knowingly distributing said propaganda in an effort to steal our power. Being fat should be celebrated because it's a symbol of taking back the power and sticking it to the man. The fatter you are the more men hate you and the more men hate you the more power you have.
