At every turn, through a combination of luck, quick thinking and timely cowardice, Flashman comes out smelling like a rose and ends this first novel as a famous war hero.

both of these are not true, the whole british conquest is based on brits persuading local losers of the kings race to ally with them and then placing those local traitors as the new king under their blessing/control. So they betrayed us much more than twice.
Also Indian people hate those brits but the crimes of the parent do not carry to the next generation.

India should've embraced the British rule and culture the way they did with the Mongol/Afghan and Arabic/Persian influence.

India was always the centre of the Old World, where great cultures and people meet and mingle to synthesize something new and advance forward.

That only happed with the mughals and was done forcibly. Before that it only happened with small kingdoms or bumfuck villages on the fringe of mainland like when alexander came, and those arent even part of the current India, they start about halfway into pakistan. Then when he got the news that he was been awaite by thousands of elephants his starving army mutinied.

That's because we made their land better.
>>
>>69911842
You seem bothered. Why?

I'm just posting some data to show a bit of a different perspective to the regular "brits saved indians from themselves" idea that often gets spread around.
>>
>>69911902
I don't agree nor do I disagree with that statement.

Still, making someone's land better isn't always enough to accept occupation. The Afghans were much more backward, much less numerous, much poorer and had a much harsher country yet they fought tooth and nail to keep the British out.

The rule is full of incidents like this, the latest one with subhash chandra uniting most of india, creating azad hind fauj (free Indian army) bose allying with the axis, ultimately leading with independence even when the axis lost.

I'm just saying, for all the massacres and genocides the British created in India, there was very little resistance. A few bombings here and there don't change that.

Look at that descendant of Mughal royalty now, literally indistinguishable from an ordinary Indian. Would not expect at all she had Turco-Mongol descent. Utter assimilation.

Maybe you just dont know about it, it wasnt just a few bombings here and there'. Most of the genocides were because of the resistances.

There's also the Sepoy rebellion which lasted 2 years and saw thousands of people dead. If I'm not mistaken, the East India company fucked up so bad, they decided to disband them because of how they were percieved to be responsible for the rebellion happening at all and how they led the supression.
It wasn't all chill...

>>69912096
No, it's this series of ironic sort of parodic pseudo-pulp fiction novels set during the colonial period about some dickhole who's convinced the British colonial government and himself that he's a great amazing hero IIRC.

I can't remember the name but I definitely remember the covers and the style. It's supposed to be sort of a parody of early 20th century pulp novel covers.

That's not exactly what happened. The original Mughals from Afghanistan were seen as foreign invaders. The following generations were pretty much Indian with a touch of Persian influence. The royalty truly cared for the people and worked for their well being. The public wasn't forced to change its way of life.
Perhaps the people would have accepted the British too, if the government wasn't completely focused on fucking the locals over and discriminating against them.
