[@Cotswolds1913]

India has a trade surplus with the UK, idk what you’ve heard but the trad definitely benefits India. In fact, developed countries are better trade partners for India because if you get countries at a similar development level or even one or two steps above, you actually are in much closer competition with them for the same value-added processes and job types.

EU is a better economic partner. uk refuses to grant visas as part of the trade deal but wants unrestricted access to generate wealth from India. Beggars cannot be choosers. Uk must instead focus on choosing wisely between heating and eating, cost of living crisis, homelessness, mortgage crisis and such. Rwanda is a good trading partner for the irrelevant uk

Why Indians hate the British....? 1. More than 100 million Indians died in the first 40 years of British rule. 2. 29 million Indians died under British induced famines designed by Churchill under his military doctrine. 3. India and China were the richest countries in the world than brits came slaughtered Indians and took their wealth, which made India poor. 4. The total value of wealth looted from India is worth more than $45 trillion dollars. 5. British were worse than nazis because in 200 years, they conducted countless massacres like Jalian walla bhag and Machlipatnam massacre. 6. Churchill and British army raided villages in India took away the entire agricultural yield as reserve stock pile. Which led to more than 4 million deaths of bengali people. 7. Our stolen wealth our artifacts are still in the British museums they won't be returned to us. 8. After all this, they still haven't apologized or paid us our reparations, but they do lecture us on human rights. Almost every day. This is just a tip of the Ice berg.

UK thrived on the £45 Trillion loot from India. Despite being thrown under the bus, India’s economy has surpassed the teeny weeny island of colonial criminals’ that refuses to apologise for the dark history/ crimes against humanity. UK yearns for a trade deal with India yet again (we know how the last one ended up lasting well over two centuries), however, wants to take more than it has to offer. EU is a better economic partner. uk refuses to grant visas as part of the trade deal but wants unrestricted access to generate wealth from India. Beggars cannot be choosers. Uk must instead focus on choosing wisely between heating and eating, cost of living crisis, homelessness, mortgage crisis and such. Rwanda is a good trading partner for the irrelevant uk

[@brent1252]

India shud be grateful to the UK for all the great innovations that have created the modern world India did none of this always remember that and retro tell the truth absolute nonsense 45 trillion looted

[@san-chil]

Rishi Sunak is a perfect leader for UK with a good grip on priorities. Instead of pandering to popularity he is making gentle yet firm moves to steer Britain away from disaster and towards firm economic progress, even if Brits themselves are woefully unaware of this; pompous and so very full of themselves as always. However, India cannot surrender its interests for a UK trade deal. - Britain cannot ask for or hope for Indian business without Indians. That just does not make sense. - Lack of trust and security. Trade can only be possible and make sense within an envelope environment of trust and security. UK falls woefully short on both counts. Britain is also part of the five eyes intelligence group that is hostile in its actions towards India and this is a far greater issue and threat overarching and drowning the trade interests and benefits completely. Treating Britain as a friendly and hoping that UK trade deal as beneficial for both India and UK is a big mistake. India also has not forgotten East India Company completely ... just yet.

@@Arya_Bhatt It’s actually based on work originally done by Dadabhai Naoroji the first Indian MP in the United Kingdom, back in the 19th century, which aimed to identify the amount being taken out of the country in things like “home charges.” Subsequently more research has been done (especially by Indian scholars), and most agree that Naoroji’s figures were also an exaggeration, the figure generally being believed to be between 0.7-2.5% of GDP per year.

The conditions India should impose on UK for a free trade agreement: 1. Returning Kohinoor back to India 2. Acknowledging and apologizing for all British colonial crimes in India, including the artificial famines they engineered and killed millions of Indians 3. Start paying the reparations (with interest) for the $45 trillion loot from India 4. Changing the history curriculum in UK and teaching their own people about the real history of their own colonial crimes so that “We made you civilized” narrative and arrogant attitude come to an end.

[@Cotswolds1913]

Not even $700 billion was taken out of India, in fact if you added 100% of India’s GDP from every single year during the colonial period, it doesn’t come to even half of $45 trillion. That figure btw comes from an obscure Indian communist, someone no one in India would have listened to if not for her telling people’s victimhood mentality what they want to hear.

An FTA addresses non-tariff barriers to services too, not just tariffs on goods. It seems like an effort to find something negative when mentions of Theresa May come up. The reporter failed to mention that the Tories under Boris made specific reference to India in their manifesto for a special relationship. No other developing country was mentioned, India was the only one. Thirdly it is very clear that despite whatever Kemi Badenoch might say, immigration will ultimately be part of these trade negotiations. Also Britain’s highest tariffs are on agriculture , something India could obviously export like mad to the UK. The idea India has nothing to gain from any of this is dishonest or incompetent reporting.

@Cotswolds1913 Don’t take it personal. You are well meaning but the comebacks are directed at the former coloniser that has not yet apologised for the crimes and loss of innocent lives.

Only a great nation with integrity will own up the wrongs/dark past, for instance Germany. Indigenous Americans know it better

@amatyaucran2214 You are absolutely right. Brits are either ignorant or oblivious to their dark history. No remorse for the wrongs, unlike Germany.
