"Do you want the mohguls back?" No, but I don't want the British back either. The Americans don't, the Irish don't, the Chinese don't. That's a major chunk of humanity right there. "Before the British most of India was ruled by arabs, I'm sure you can cede sovereignty to Iran if that seems like a golden age." You still don't get it. I am opposing the point that India after Independence is worse off than under British rule. I didn't claim that the British were worse than the Mughals (The last Mughal emperor was a figurehead leader of the ragged coalition that fought the British in the Mutiny of 1857, but the armies facing the British were hardly "mughal" I could claim that but that is a separate discussion. And since you bring it up, the Mughals weren't "arabs" (they were muslims which is somewhat different, but I am sure your historical knowledge shows otherwise ;-) ). and the British didn't fight or overthrow the Mughals. Their toughest opponents were the Marathas and the Sikhs. So, yeah most of India was not "ruled by arabs" and finally Iranians aren't "arabs". It is this kind of historical illiteracy and idiocy I am trying to counter.
