They just like me fr fr

!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.

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.

Hating political leeches is the common factor that will solve all racial issues.

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 :marseyglow: 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.
