A somewhat related side-note (might be interesting): William Dalrymple recently talked about - "How in India the Irish Transformed from Colonised to Colonisers" - https://nitter.net/DalrympleWill/status/1898036558898585768 https://nitter.net/DalrympleWill/status/1898036558898585768 - and not quite/always the benevolent/sympathetic ones.
Besides we still call these events "famines"? Interesting. I thought genocide would be the word, isn't it?
- Kudos 2y ago> "How in India the Irish Transformed from Colonised to Colonisers" The Irish people mentioned appear to actually be part of the plantation class of British people who arrived into Ulster. I don't think the framing should be taken sincerely.
