Dude fuck off. Many Indians were raised underneath the caste system and had no need to "rise against". It worked fine for them for many years and no system on earth is perfect.I was just fucking around, curries are submissive with the caste system and wouldn't do shit about their situation, just like in the last thousands of years.
You took some leftist South Asian course and now think you know better than others and can shit on Indians even more. I see through your disguise.
Famines and indentured servitude don't count as lower living standards? You said living standards didn't change during the time the British were in India. It's not all about economy and yet there are many other things to take into account that aren't easily quantified.Holy shit you keep repeating arguments. I already completely debunked the pint that India was economically held back, it grew at the same rate it was growing at before. This is a point you didn't address accept saying it obviously did ruin India with 0 evidence.
Evidence famines in India were made worse by Winston Churchill:
Winston Churchill killed as many as the worst genocidal dictators of the 20th century, says Indian politician
'This is a man the British would have us hail as an apostle of freedom and democracy,' says author

India is a diverse subcontinent meant to have many kingdoms and empires but the British saw things purely from a Muslim vs Hindu perspective and insisted on divvying up India into Pakistan and India before they left. It has been the source of India being politically worse off since then.Politically, India was had many kingdoms and empires fighting one another. I don't see any evidence of India being politically worse off.
And yeah, the dumb border that was drawn is a huge source of issues today. It should have been broken by ethnicity, but of course the British were too lazy and the Indian leaders probably didn't want that because they thought somehow all these ethnic groups would be united. Clearly history has shown both these were destructive assumptions and decisions.
The borders shouldn't have been drawn up at all arbitrarily in the first place and the fact that they were has continued to lead to unnecessary political disputes to this day.
