India’s colonial history

In the year 1700, India was worth a staggering 21 trillion dollars by today’s standards. Its economy was so large and so powerful that is was bigger than all of Western Europe’s combined. 250 years later, India was one of the poorest countries in the world. So what went wrong?

And when the Brits left, they split South Asia so perfectly, that it’s been 70 years and all the parts are still hostile to each other and not towards Brits

My tears for India...can't imagine the hardships back then, but they somehow manage to stand tall. Hugs from Indonesia

As an Indian i thank TRT for coming up with this. Many present world problems are because of the colonial legacy yet nobody talk about them.

[Funda-e-FUN]

The Bottom line for India and Pakistan is to fight British and not with each other. Hope sense of divide and rule strategy may prevail.

Mughal Empire (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh) became poor because of the West. They looted, looted and looted until nothing was left to loot.

That's why this truth is never taught in the 11 years of mandatory schooling in the UK.

[Onemessagefoundationismyfav]

The English Dictionary contains a word called “Loot” this word is actually an Indian word for Robbing... even the word “Loot” was invented during the British rule/invasion of India!

[empirestate]

Pakistani, Indian, or Bangladeshi, we all experienced the same problems. Let's not allow the remnants of Britain's divide-and-conquer stragegy and reckless drawing of borders pit us against each other!

[samaxe]

Thank you TRT for showing the true face of Brit Crown n company love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[adnanahmed]

India and pakistan are still rich..unfortunately the people are divided and fooled by politicans

[Husayn]

"What honour is left to us? When we have to take orders from a handful of merchants who haven't yet learned to wash their bottoms." 😬😬

[thunderbear]

And it is also our fault we couldn't fight against them like afghans did
20 thousands British soldiers went to colonize kabul and only 1 doctor was able to return back to their base afghans literally butchered these colonizers after that they never faced that way

Happy 50th independence day to 🇧🇩🇧🇩 from 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[trndsttr]

We South Asians need to stop fighting each other and move towards socio-economic development.

[simsong]

Never heard a single apologise from the brits.

[danielduncun]

India has come a long way in just 70 yrs, 5th largest economy bigger than its colonizer, nuclear arm nation, 4th most powerful military, science and technology, growing faster than any major economies, just imagine where can india be when they celebrate 100 yrs of independence in 2047 ☮️☮️
