Does Britain owe reparations

>>2633513
No. Britain took India and was able to defend for a period of time, making it theirs for that period.

>BECOWS EVAN GAWD COULD'NT TRUST THE ENGLISH IN THE DARK
Guffaw, hua haa huee hee.

I don't know why these Brit hating Pakis act as though they're colonial services in WWI and WWII where some unprecedented acts of benevolence.

This brown man's bakchodi is completely invalidated by Hitler's actual views regarding the Indians.
Adolf, in 1938 gave Lord Halifax (former Viceroy) the following suggestion on how to contend with these uppity inferiors:
>"Shoot Gandhi, and if this doesn't suffice to reduce them to submission, shoot a dozen leading members of Congress; and if that doesn't suffice, shoot 200 and so on until order is established."

When the Brits left India, the GDP per capita was more than twice that of the other Asian behemoth (China). If India had maintained that disparity - they'd be the wealthiest country in the world, yet this arrogant little wretch seems to think Anglo malice is why India fell behind and not, idk, the great divergence and great leap forward.

Why would Brits run their own colony into the ground? They set it up for success, if you would like to know why it is not successful, well...
>India's salvation consists in unlearning what she has learnt during the past fifty years. The railways, telegraphs, hospitals, lawyers, doctors, and such like have all to go, and the so-called upper classes have to learn to live consciously and religiously and deliberately the simple peasant life, knowing it to be a life-giving, true happiness.
--Gandhi.

Poo loos wish they were the white man.

Do his arguments get any better? just watch the first 5 mintues of that and he has got an appalling understanding of GDP and statistics.

"Before Britain Indian GPD was 24% of the worlds" -a dubious claim itself

"After Britain Indian GDP was 4% of the worlds"

This difference is therefore due to colonialism. Other countries getting wealthier and industrialising had no role in it - the only way a country could increase its % of the worlds GDP would be stealing it from another.

This is his argument so far

India was indeed a wealthy place prior to invasion. But it wasn't the British who destroyed India, it was the islamic Mughals, who looted and destroyed the accumulated wealth of millenia.

The comment section of the video only proves how fucking stupid Indians is.

Well the British did steal from India. Asking for reparations is silly but Tharoor is right on that score.

>>2634084
I don't think he's is saying that Britain is responsible for India's state today, he's just educating people on the magnitude of British atrocities.

This is pretty deceptive though anon. If you accept that then he is moving the goalposts from the

"British stole so much that India's share of of global GDP dropped by 83%"

to

"The British took stuff"

>, he's just educating people on the magnitude of British atrocities.

Unless he introduces better information he is deceiving people about the nature of colonial rule.

Stay rustled britburkas

>>2633513
No. No one "deserves" reparations. They only pay reparations because they were forced to.

>>2633513
what does he thin the foreign aid program is?

and no britain doesnt owe reparations unless India owes britain the cost of the infrastructure improvements britain made in india as well.

>>2633513

No because the money would have to be levied from Brits born recently

Why should British burger flippers send money to Poo In Loo bureaucrats

They'd also need to carry out an public inquiry into their own collaborators. The only way the brits took over this easily we because we basically struck deals and exploited the pre-existing tensions within the Hindu civilization. Before britain showed, there were literally like 40 principalities in competition with one another. So they had their own "traitors" or "british sympathisers" if you will, who enabled us to slowly but surely encroach on the entire territory.

Poos larping as if India was a strong, independent block who needs no industrialism and got only oppressed by evil whitey is toptier revisionism.

>>2634967
Britain owes to the entire world actually.
They stole everything from egyptians too.
