The freedom struggle had gained critical mass by the 40s and WW2 greatly weakened your economy...read your history books, Ahmed

The poos would have slaughtered your lads at some point if you would have stretched it further.

That's not how it works. There's not some supreme authority that decided it was OK for it to happen. It happened because Britain was too weak to hold onto it and the Indians were tired of being oppressed.

It just wasn't worth the money any more.

Brits could not bear the smell anymore

>>70828053
They weren't being oppressed at all.

I'm sure this is the consensus among historians and the Indians just rebelled because they were tired of their benevolent white servants doing too much to improve the country.

That's pretty much what it was, yeah. Muh freedom to make things worse for everyone.

I like India a lot, but they have to try to understand how much worse things would be if we hadn't colonised.

>but they have to try to understand how much worse things would be if we hadn't colonised.

I think they look at China or Japan, and think why could we not have had that developmental experience? A home-grown attempt at industrialisation.

It doesn't help that India was on the verge of unifying under the Marathas, when the brits started militarily conquering it.

Instead they see the military invention, suppression of their native industries and trades, and the general treatment of subserveience as a national disgrace.

India had writing, India has a history of mathematics and philososphy, India had social reformers through it's history. They think 'why couldn't we go it alone? and rightfully so.

french went to was for 10 years and couldn't cling to algeria, a country with around 10 millions people at the time so letting them go peacefuly was probably the best choice

>>70828644
Wew, are you really using China as an example of something desirable?

>>70828760
Finders keepers m8. Anyway we keep things in better condition, history is safer in the British Museum than anything India has to offer.

>British destroy India's native textile industries, crafts, and social institutions
>force Indians to grow opium for export to China
>mass famines result because of precious farmland being taken up with growing opium poppies

brits are scum and deserve to be replaced by pajeets by the end of the century as rightful compensation for the damage caused

>>70827504
Deal in exchange for WW2 money with a background of agitation for independence which we couldnt afford to kill

>>70828487
Eh. Right-hand driving and a head-start on English are the only things I'll concede on m8.
