SHASHI THAROOR - How British Rule Destroyed India Reaction!

[@CineDesi]

I'm sorry for anything ignorant I said in this video. Just doing my best, like anyone else, to understand, acknowledge, discover what positives I can and move forward from there. I will always do my best to find the positive of right now because to do otherwise is despair and hopelessness and that's not an outlook I want to have. This is a discussion on a very heavy topic and I acknowledge the horrible atrocities, that is DEFINITELY not lost on me as we have spent a lot of time on this channel going over that. Still, I'm sure I spoke a few nonsensical things as evidenced by the comments. I'm not beyond unintentionally saying something stupid from time to time. As I said, just doing my best to understand, acknowledge and discover what positives I can because that's all we can build a future off of.

@@unseenvideos9447 I understand you are trying to support Jaby, We all do and we literally respect the most and love him. But Your statement is totally wrong. Even though India was invaded in the past, eg the Mughals, they came in, took over kingdoms, but they stayed here and also the wealth. They made India their home and named it Hindustan. The British is to be likely blamed because they constantly looted India for 200 years, shipping everything to Britain. Building their own cities and leaving the people and India dry. Here transfer of welath from India to Britain took place in trillions (todays money)

Jaby dont appologise to the internet mob just for curiosity. The fact is especially here in South Asia people are blinded by nationalism and think only their country is the victim and they are greatest and innocent. I am from Nepal and if i say that over the last 30-40 years India has slowly but surely encroached the boarders of Nepal from both east and west and starting to annex many small small lands into its territory they wouldnt believe us and say that communist China is using us to provoke India by spreading fake information when the fact is entire people from Terai and all political parties are united about this.

"India was not united before the British" is a false notion. There are two aspects of this. Culturally, India was united for at least 4000 years. Recent archeological excavations confirm that as a civilization India, or Bharata, was one. If you take into account the modern definition of a country, with a unifying political entity, then-No it was not for a long time. However, There still were instances when one ruling kingdom reigned over most of present India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. But then that answer will be incorrect w.r.t Indian history.

At the time British invaded us the country was not united. It doesnt matter that there was a brief period of unity centuries ago.

when they talk about education, I would like it point out that Indian education and educational centres existed long before britshers came. Us Indians are stuck with a mediocre Educational syllabus because of the Britishers. We had educational centres to which travellers from all around the world, came, stayed, wrote about, learnt and left. We still cannot fathom how many Indian Temples could have been built using the Construction tools Indians were predicted to have back in the days. No way they did all that without understanding physics and Engineering. The Britishers came and destroyed our knowledge. India has Yoga, Indians have excelled at Ayurvedic medicine. There are Forest Tribes that can treat snake bites simply using Ecological resources. Im not saying our knowledge and way of life is superior. The problem arose when a group of people said that very thing. they called themselves superior. Im saying we had our own way of existence, education. The education system that we have today are all based on what the britishers thought were necessary. We still have so many traditional medicinal knowledge that is not learnt because it never sees the daylight. All we learn is what the britishers assumed were important thereby erasing our individuality from existence.

India had Gurukuls( Traditional Indian education System) .Every village in 1820s Reference, ‘Dharampal’s research on census Carried out by the British’ in the same time had these Gurukuls. Our literacy was more than 90% in the 1800s & The Maratha empire was the major ruling power in the subcontinent & restoring Indian Cultural places (Reference: Temples restored by Ahilyabai holkar). Problem is that Brits needed clerks to manage their affairs for the Raj. Thus they systematically destroyed the Indigenous educational system & Introduced convent education & through that education, They created a systematic effort to turn Indians against their own culture as they saw Indians inferior their education did as well. So whoever ( Indians mostly) got that education, and turned against their own culture. & worked as sepoys for the British. In India we still are fed that stupid Macaulian education & turned against our own culture.

Britishers stole everything from us right under our nose, called us uncivilized, made us slaves, used our own labour for manufacture and sold our things to us. When they were afraid of invasions from North East and North, they forced the hands of the Amirs of Sindh and took control of the land for themselves.

[@TheRajul27]

Alright , so I am gonna give answers to some of the questions / misconceptions / misunderstandings that were not addressed in this video : 1. What would have happened to India if British never stepped in ? Ans : India , in late medeival and early modern era , had in its presence, protuguese as well as french apart from Britishers. They were the ones who arrived before British and in several subsiquent wars of British against these foreign forces made sure that they don't have their presence in India. So it can never be the case of British not stepping into India because globalisation has been in India since ancient times. India was not created by british expats as in the case of America or Australia for that matter. 2. The British has given india infra, education , railways and administration system ! To comment on this, i have a very simple argument. Think of all the middle eastern countries and the wealth they have now by selling a single resource, that is oil Now think of india prior to colonization ! Now decline of Mughals were inevitable and so is the rise of provincial kingdoms in the undivided India, but each community before the British raj was secular, progressive and growth oriented. So there might not have been an India as a nation, but there could have been an India as a subcontinent but the term has been just reduced now to a geographical context. Think of UAE or EU as a political unit, now imagine India like that. With no Pakistan, there would have been no 9/11 or no terrorism. Because in the very inception of it, pakistan was present. Infact Pakistan gave birth to terrorism. 3. As for justifying Churchill or taking the positive side of him , I would ask a simple question. Can you justify Osama bin Laden for doing what he did for his people by killing innocent lives? No right??? There is a not even a question of a fine line , it's either black or white and not grey at times. It's all about ethics, principles, values and humanity , concepts that India has upheld since centuries now and something that the western world has still never understood. No doubt about presence of Indians in Ancient Athens during the Socrates in discussions about polity and governance. At last, i would like to say that the person you are talking about has been under secretary general of United Nations, the person who completed his PhD in his early 20s , the person who is one of the best diplomat and one of the most rational politician you will find in the entire world. Atleast read more about his works before commenting on him. Anyway, we love what you do jaby. You give the best reaction in the whole world. I personally love the entire koay family and will expect more from you . You can turn to more serious and research related contents rather than just giving reactions to entertainment segment. Try to be more diverse in Indian content because there is a lot you are still missing.
