From the first Amazon book I could find on India "Britain held back political progress in India for as long as possible – a policy which led to unimaginable chaos and suffering when independence was granted, and which created a legacy of hatred and distrust that continues to this day. "
Ever heard the saying "divde and conquer" its an Roman saying(?) but the British used this tactic often during their colonialism. Their oppression in the region goes much deeper, you can read up on it since there are many books.
- naruvimama 5y agoThe strength of a nation is decided by the weakest link, political weakness (and correctness) provided an opportunity to political forces backed by religious fanaticism. This applies to both Islamic as well as Christian colonisation. It does not not make one necessarily better than the other when it comes to native people. To those objecting to the later, a little bit of study will show that the doctrine of christian discovery was the primary driver and that the missionaries were not only the scouts but also enthusiastically took part in all forms of colonialism including the slave trade.
