He didn’t say a word about the sneezing. They saw a man sneeze and went back in the house. No explanation. Thanks.

But they wouldn't show how they taxed 50 % of the produce from farmers and took their land if they didn't . They wouldn't show how Indian cotton was so popular in the European market that they had to fine people using even a handkerchief. Because otherwise people wouldn't buy their products. They wouldn't show that europeans fought against indian king and lost. Then promised not to do it again and begged the king to permit them to continue their trade.

Perhaps these issues are not entirely suitable for a 10 min. video about life in an Indian village

Its most common false propaganda, most people assume British colonized to enlighten the benighted heathens. However fact is India was more civilized society than West(even after Islamic onslaught)& British East India company resisted any Christian missions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqVhKCeocp0q9U The renaissance was triggered by the direct exposure of the West to Indian Hindu texts when the Ottoman lay seize on trade routes and they had to directly find routes to India by passing the Turks and Arabs Initially 6K British officials ruling over 200 million Indians, As one British Governor General who lived here put it "If each black man were to take up a handful of sand and by united effort throw it on the white faced intruders we should be buried alive" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGiqgJtuptF_rbM

@@sharad7340 I'm not lobbying for Nehru. But just care to look at the time stamp. When you are constantly looted by an imperial power of your wealth, for 150 years it would take time to get out of that. And it is reasonable that you wouldn't follow the same path as your aggressor who chose to loot you to fuel their capitalistic economy back in England. You would definately try to keep an ideology as distant as possible. But to our disadvantage that was not the right choice yet the choice that should be taken.
