Would India be an even worse shithole if the brits didn't take them over?

>>2463856
Probably.
Its only hope of making it into Modernity as a halfway relevant nation, would have been if thge Moghul Empire had survived as a centralized state that was willing to reform and modernize.

It's really sad that they got genocided by Americans and have to live in reservations

I don't think India's obesity problem wouldn't be as bad (or atleast the same as westerners) if our food wasn't so fattening + people didn't ""exercise"" for only 5 mins a day.

And
>all these anti-Indian posts
Wew. We may not have 10/10 genetics (no race does) but it's not as bad as people make it seem.

To add to this, we tend to store fat around the belly first because of a few centuries of famine. Not like it matters much in keeping fit however. Africans tend to (scientifically proven) put on muscle mass more easily than Europeans, yet in most Western countries they tend to be more obese.

Culture matters more desu. It wouldn't be as bad if we had a diet similar to Japan instead of ours (high carbs).

Stalled at the Hindukush and Indus River,

Only the based Ghaznides broke through these border areas

>>2463960
We used to work together then. Not really united like we are now, but together.

But whenever we'd decide fuck it and decide to go our own way, we'd get our ass kicked. Some idiots still haven't learnt that lesson yet.

Tell me about the Pala Empire

Arabs would have invaded through Iran. No Hindukush there.
And it's not like they hadn't seen a river before.

>Arabs would have invaded through Iran. No Hindukush there.
Nope but there are angry Persians.

The Hindukush forms the barrier between the persian realms (which included Khorasan, which is now western afghanistan) and the indian realms.
It were the remnants of the old graeco-bactrian kingdoms and other buddhist mountain fortresses that stopped any further expansion for a long time.-

Most arab attacks and campaigns were along the coast into the Indus Delta, but the river was heavily populated and while not politically unified, the indian states there still cooperated closely with each other against the arab aggressors.
