How Britain Stole $45 Trillion from India with Trains | Empires of Dirt

There is a misguided idea that India should be grateful for the democracy, law and trains that the British Empire brought to their country. But along with these ‘gifts’, Britain also stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule, which culminated in the biggest mass migration in human history during the Partition of India and Pakistan.
And those beloved trains? They became the sites of mass slaughter as violent clashes occurred when over four million people were uprooted from their homes and forced to trek to a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng reveals exactly why India shouldn’t be grateful for their trains.

India's weakness was disunity among the small kingdoms, internal wars, religious differences and the absence of a strong empire after the Marathas. The British used this situation to the fullest to colonise India.

[@ankurchaudhary3515]

Actually before the Britishers arrived , there’s already a major genocide happening by Mughals particularly Aurangzeb. Maratha empire rose to prominence but after 30 years of constant warfare as well as the unity factor of Shivaji was no more . Marathas was fighting against Mughals , Portuguese in Goa , nizam at Hyderabad, South Indian kings but after got won , they didn’t got a chance to consolidate rather it breaks off very easily in internal fighting . Britishers did nothing just exploited the weakness by divide and rule policy , Indian kings hated each other more and they didn’t see Britishers as something of a coloniser at first . It’s just a trading company. Fighting was there , but it comes with disunity among smaller kingdoms .

[@aryaroy476]

@People who Use youtube in indian history, 2 people - Akbar and Ashoka, nearly achieved a united India under common rule. Do you think in 200 years of fast improving communication services, no one could have united india? And then, just like the french revolutions, india couldn't have turned to democracy? India was the LARGEST economy of the world, 23% share of the world gdp at that time. I don't think a country that rich would have been left in ruins without british "help". British was able to achieve unification because of its small size. India being the 7 th largest country, finds that difficult to do.

[@aryaroy476]

@People who Use youtube dude wtf is even your point? I know that a part of me is British, and it will never change. And honestly, i like it. What i cannot bear is people claiming that the British Empire PURPOSEFULLY helped India, or any other country. You rule a country for 200 years, loot 45 trillion dollars from it, and killed more than 30 million people(way more). You introduce railways for your OWN good, so that you can transport loot material faster through the country. English Language was introduced to form a group of Indians, who were Indian in skin color, but British in mannerisms, so that British could communicate with the Indians. NONE of the changes were made to HELP Indians. At the end of a 200 year tyranny, the country comes out democratic, and you deserve thankfulness? I don't expect Britain to pay back money it took, because how do you pay for innocent lives that were lost to the Empire? And, the present generation cannot be blamed for their ancestors' mistakes All I ask is for the British to realize what it did was wrong, and to be sorry of what their ancestors did. India doesn't need your money, as it is we have crossed your gdp. just realize what you did was wrong.

@Tom Johnson yep prime example of denial right here. British good , nazi bad.

[@Duzd1]

Tom Johnson The British empire was just as bad as Nazi Germany. Scientific racism (the basis of the Nazi ideology) was born in Britain. Over a course of four centuries the British empire was the key instigator of the systematic annihilation of the indigenous cultures of three entire continents as they colonized their lands. Entire peoples and languages that no longer exist thanks to British colonialism. The British enslaved millions of Africans and purposefully caused mass famines killing millions in places ranging from Ireland to Bengal. The British didn’t solely plunder the Indian subcontinent, but also large swathes of East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. As it occupied all of these places, the British empire played on sectarian/ethnic/religious tensions and conflict in the lands of the people they subjugated in order to effectively rule. This is still the basis for major contemporary conflicts all over the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Africa. All of these atrocities are but a few of the crimes committed by the British Empire and can easily compete with those of Nazi Germany. This also applies to many European Empires including the Belgian, French, Spanish and Portuguese Empires. The reason that these empires were not seen to be as bad as Nazi Germany is because they mostly targeted non-whites whom the Europeans considered as barely human and inherently inferior to them. Nazi Germany is solely seen as this paragon of evil (rightly so, but other European empires are just as bad) is because Nazi Germany did to Europeans what European colonialism did to the rest of the planet for centuries.

Tom Johnson Everyone who was occupied by the British Empire: the British Empire was terrible and killed, enslaved and subjugated millions while looting their lands and resources Proponents of the British Empire: you are still the half-witted subhumans that we colonized a century ago; the British empire developed and contributed a lot to your countries

Our research finds that Britain’s exploitative policies were associated with approximately 100 million excess deaths during the 1881-1920 period, write Sullivan and Hickel[British Raj(1904-1906)/Wikimedia Experts agree that the period from 1880 to 1920 - the height of Britain’s imperial power - was particularly devastating for India. Comprehensive population censuses carried out by the colonial regime beginning in the 1880s reveal that the death rate increased considerably during this period, from 37.2 deaths per 1,000 people in the 1880s to 44.2 in the 1910s.

@Amelia Jones Atheist myself but it certainly seems like the UK is intent on making itself suffer- and its past, present, and future outlook are inherently warped by the evil legacy of its empire. As Franz Fanon wrote (I'm very poorly referencing here, mind)- European imperialism created, in effect- the degeneration of both the colonized and the colonizer- in the case of the colonizer (such as Britain) it comes from the racialized, ethnicized, religious notions of supremacy and bigotry- it comes from the development and economic dependence on plunder and dehumanization of the rest of the world- and so on. You can see it with the UK's slow descent from grace (if it can ever be said to have been in grace- certainly not as empire, not any rightful grace anyways) since the loss of its empire. And even to this day, with the self-destructive nature of British politics (and that of the whole Anglosphere, which I'll count as in part other than the US which is its own thing and nearing its own decline/rot). There's an inherent racism and ethnocentricism in British identity stemming from its history as empire- there's an inherent alienation from much of humanity, or even much of Europe as the "other" in contrast to the Brit- it's a social ill that will likely remain for generations onwards due to the evils of empire.

What has to be remembered is that when the East India Company went to India the literacy rate of the Indians was 37% when Britain left in 1947 it was 4%. That $45 trillion that is being quoted has been officially admitted by the British Govt as being 'Extremely Conservative' or to put it into 'Laymans' words - 'CHICKEN FEED', the figure that has been adjusted is stated to be somewhere in the region of $350/475 trillion!!. It boggles the mind as to just how rich India truly was long before the Maharajas sold out to the British. It's ironic that men like them who's own personal wealth made the Kings/Queens of not only Britain, but, Europe itself look like paupers sold out their own country for the promise of even more wealth - which ironically once the Moghuls were defeated with their help - NEVER MATERIALISED!!. As the General who led the British into the last battle against the Moghuls stated - "Once we've won this battle - then we'll go and piss their fires out next!!". The British gained India with the help of the greedy and stupid Maharajas whom the Moghuls warned them would use as them as their attack dogs and then turn them into Lapdogs - GUESS WHO GOT THAT RIGHT!!.

Well, it's *Lakshman Seth* and other merchants who invested in EIC which then recruited Indian people into its army and overthrew the sultanate of Bengal. Lakshman Seth did this to get control of the business. It was just like conflicts between Chinese merchants and emperors. So, it's the Indian Hindu kings and merchants who actually helped the British to take on Mughal emperors. Because under mughal rule, India was rich and so-called lower catse Indians started working in textile mills and they converted to Islam leaving Hindu caste system which is dominated by upper caste who were kings, merchants, priests. So, they helped British to destroy the handlooms and overthrow the Mughals so that majority of Indians, who are so-called lower caste, cant prosper and overpower the status quo of upper caste kings, merchants, priests. Sadly, no one talks about these facts.

@@studygram_ Modern India without British rule If British had not conquered vast territories within India and brought it under a single rule: There would be no unified India. Instead there would have been multiple principalities which would have undergone different political, social and cultural histories to become different countries. Without unification, social reforms would have been hard to come by and the country or the principalities would have been socially regressive. Strong rulers would have turned the fortune of a few principalities and made it richer, however the rest of the country would have been much poorer than what they are today. Condition of states with fewer resources would have been much worse. With access to education restricted to an elite few, large portions of the country would still have been illiterate. Illiteracy would have led to slow industrialization and advancement in science and technology. Caste would have played a much more significant role in day to day life (than it does today) and would have hampered growth. There is a good chance China would have annexed a few statelets with its territory. There would be no unified religion called hinduism. Instead the various sects of modern day hinduism would have become independent religions. Hindi would have met the same fate. Masses who fell to famines would have still fallen to various wars waged by native warlords.
