Yeah slavery may not be correct but what would you call pressing people into bonded or indentured labor? Contracts you can't get out of (easily). There are a lot of people of Indian origin still living in South East Asia, Caribbean, Africa. How did they get there? The way I see it, the brits didn't go out of their way to hurt and humiliate Indians like the Islamic conquerors did. But they did go out of their way to loot the treasuries of Indian kingdoms just like the Islamic conquerors did. What the hell was doctrine of lapse? "The territory gradually expanded" Really? Like a bit of gas? They saw a land in turbulent times which were suffering under unjust rulers and decided to revel in the opportunity and pour on the misery and fill their pockets. A bunch of truly despicable demons. The world may not owe us a break, but I don't see why we should pretend the brits and Raj were good in any way. They were in aggregate bad. And whatever little good (or bad) has happened in India it has been thanks to our own people, their will to fight against incredible odds, and their own greed and corruption and base nature. The brits ruled plenty of other places other than India. They are all either shitholes or rising power centers because of their own people. The brits are worth nothing.
