Surely there were very few British soldiers whose dying thoughts were "this bayonet in my guts is right and proper". That's not to deny that the anti-colonials stabbing them were right, of course. My point is just that writing a wrong via harm will seem like a wrong to the harmed. Of course, the writing of a wrong even with no harm will often be taken as a wrong by the people losing privilege, so I'd also agree that we can't use mere feelings of being wronged as wrongs themselves.
