I was initially writing something that was sort of agreeing, until I realized you just picked the most recently liberated Asian Tiger economy. Picking and choosing data is super easy. ;-)

(Said as a resident and pro independence activist in the last colony in the world, whose economic problems stem directly from the…

The whole point of the colonial system was economic exploitation of British colonies, such as India and Pakistan, for the direct benefit of Britain. Comfortable British lifestyles and public investment in the 19th and early 20th century were largely paid for by public wealth derived out of exploiting these colonies,…

When British entered India GDP of India was 1/3 of world (and that’s why they came here) - when British left 10 million of Indians died in partitions + 30 million died in Bengal famines during 1940 - 45, and do you know what Churchill said - “If food is so scarce, why hasn’t Gandhi died yet?”.

Don’t tell me that…

Actually, I don’t live in India. But I haven’t sold myself to my ex-masters. My parents cultivated more racial pride in me than yours. Go suck someone else’s.

Being of Indian origin, or living in India does not make you an expert in history or the nature of colonialism. Hong Kong is a superficial comparison, which largely ignores the differences in geography, economics and policies that made it so different. If you thought India was ever the kind of freemarket capitalist…

Then stay out and away from India, you asshole.

No, it is not like missing one’s ex, well, not unless your ex was a bitch eating you to the core. British Raj was an exploitative entity inside out. And, anybody who thinks India was better off then than now is a whore for letting others violate and degrade their racial capital, and perversely enjoying the rape. Such…

You are a whitewashed SOB. And, do us all a favor and don’t call your shitty self an Indian.

Being anti-colonialist doesn’t necessarily make one a socialist, nor did “anti-colonialists” want to embrace socialism. Indian socialism was a gift from Prime Minister Nehru, and only himself. He is widely despised and ridiculed throughout India today.

The British were in India to loot the country and that they did extremely well for few hundred years. So as if that was not enough, you suggest things would have been very different if they were allowed to loot for another 50 years?. And obviously you would know it better than the Indians because you live in America…

Have you read any history of India as a British colony? Or any other major country during the 20th century, for that matter? The reason why the remaining British overseas territories are well off is because the UK dumped all the problematic areas along with liberating ones that had been fighting tooth and nail to…

We Indians love it when western people explain to us how wrong we are not to trust them. That’s why we loved the east india company so much. Nothing bad happened with those guys right? I forget ...
