The Jallianwala Bagh massacre was
... not part of the Partition, and occurred decades before in fact.
The Bengal famine
... had nothing to do with the Partition either, last we checked.
But because you want to look back at the imperial project with pride .... This might pass in the UK, but as Indians we can’t indulge you in your delusions
And now you're pretending to "know" what country I'm from, and to "know" also that I therefore hold a certain stereotypical set of views that you believe people from that country typically have.
I wish I could engage you further, but there's simply no logic at all in your response.
- kaycey2022 2y agoI wish you had read the comment correctly. I never said those 2 incidents have anything to do with partition. As for the stereotypes, I took an educated guess. But then it's not just the British who look back at the imperial times with fondness. Plenty of Europeans do the same. Even many Americans, which is ironic considering the USA embraced capitalism (or at least sincerely tried to) and abhorred colonialism. Whereas most European projects were mercantilist in nature. Because they couldn't compete. I didn't "pretend" about anything. In fact even now I'm unconvinced you don't hold these views. The only thing in doubt is that you are from the UK. Sorry if you don't believe in those things.
- aguaviva 2y agoI never said those 2 incidents have anything to do with partition. Then they had nothing to do with my post. But you went on and on about them anyway. In fact even now I'm unconvinced you don't hold these views. If you prefer to live in a world of speculation, imputing views to people they simply don't have - that's up to you.
