Everything You’ve Been Told About British India Is Wrong Author and commentator Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (Abhijit Iyer-Mitra) joins me for a provocative conversation on British colonialism, the rewriting of Indian history, and whether the Empire was ultimately good or bad for India. We discuss Churchill and the Bengal famine, the...

People should know that this Abhijit guy is a ghey, he is speaking BS. He is a brown sepoy, still a slave by mentality. British rule was a total disaster for India. There’s no ifs and buts about it. What a load of crap. It’s literally like this right now by Abhijit. 👇

@Iyervval @Iyervval Too bad you have a 75% +ve, misinformed view of the Brits. This shows the Brits succeded beyond their wildest dreams in deceiving self-loathing Indians like you to long for the so called benevolent Raj & consider economic exploitation of the country as industrialization

@Iyervval There is no proof that Sati system was prominent in India. All this yapping with no proofs. If the only proof you had was from the british then its not actual proof. A slave owner will lie about anything to denigrate the slaves he owns.

@Iyervval Nope. @Iyervval I don't care about your views on everything else. But saying British rule was 75% good, justifying Company and British Raj is where I draw the line. I am blocking you was a Long time follower. Fuck You Brown Sepoy.

@Iyervval I don’t think these people gave a rat’s arse about the goodness of the Empire. Or the statistical BS @Iyervval simpering exclaims to Winston. You done f’ed up with sepoy behavior @Iyervval. Helping whitewash atrocities for deniers.

@Iyervval Hatred for Islamic Jihadists shud not mean love for White supremacists. Pethaps @Iyervval's grandparents loved spit-shining British shoes & that is why he is continuing the family tradition. Can't believe he tried to shift blame for the first organized drug trade on an "Indian".

@Iyervval Please invite Sai Deepak J for a genuinely Indic view. A mercantilist, oppressive colonial brute can never be good even 1% regardless of the Railways, concept of nation state, parliamentary democracy.. blah...blah... The guy just dismissed the struggle of millions for 200+ yrs!

@Iyervval Stop with the Sati garbage again. Jauhar was bastardized and used as propaganda. Have your bothered to think how many Indians died during British Rule? If Sati was real how many women would have gone that route? Where is the record?

@Iyervval AIM is full of it when talking to foreigners. The British Empire was 99% bad for India and just 1% good. There are vast information and facts to prove it. AIM conveniently ignores it all. You are talking to the wrong person. But whatever floats your boat man.

@Iyervval He is just giving you an opinion which will not hurt you & you will continue to invite him in future.British rule was equally bad as that of nazi rule in Europe.

@Iyervval Hey @Iyervval this is how stupid, bigoted & destructive your favorite British imperialists were. They are now suffering the consequences of their own anti-Hindu bigotry while you slavishly suck on their toes

Disappointing weak and a cowering response by @Iyervval This perennial reference to sati is being weaponised; These brave women (widows) were prepared die than become the war booty of marauding muslim invaders who targeted them knowing that they were widows - Cannot imagine an English/white women making such a sacrifice! Their fetish for Turkish muslim men is insatiable according to #90DayFiance Winston, now upload a discussion about how English women were sold by their husbands to avoid paying for a divorce #Degrading Also what about women in Britain accused of being ‘witches’ being killed? I dare arrogant sanctimonious Winston to discuss the same:

@Iyervval I travelled around India 2 years ago - I had 4 guides. 2 Hindu, 1 Sikh & 1 Muslim. Each & every one of them did not have a negative view of British colonialism in India. It actually shocked me. I was slightly apologetic and they waved me away and said it was what India needed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Iyervval (3 of 3) Like how India’s GDP supposedly grew under the British just like before. Leaving out the fact that that increase benefited the British, not the locals. There are a million more points. Too numerous to list here. What a waste of good talent.

Excuse me !? What's this "British India" - it was "British occupied India" ,call it what it was...We dont need an Abhijit Iyer Mitra to tell us what British occupation was- it was the worst curse that could happen to India and best thing that happened to UK. Does he even live in UK to understand you guys are incapable of learning anything from India or from anywhere else bcos of your delusional self images of superiority, stuck in some old glories suffering from incurable imperial dementia! Cute try to whitewash your dark past- aint working 👎

@Iyervval The "logic" behind the bizarre argument-any land where the Brits didnt Rule shouldnt have had a Nation state, Railways etc. So since Airplanes etc were invented in America > Only lands colonized by America should ever have Airplanes or any other tech for that matter. Beyond potty

@Iyervval You cannot make yourself feel better about colonization horrors until you get unburden yourselves from the monarchy and shove all symbols of it into a museum like you have done to countless cultures. You need to create distance from your colonial past..

@Iyervval They had worse famines before the British. There own also hid food from the masses that would have saved many 1,000s. What we should learn from them is how to kick them out like they did the British even the ones born there. They said" leave or we will kill you."

@Iyervval Commie born & raised in western comfort. Have to expect the colonial sepoy rearing his ugly heads time to time. The man has always disparaged anything Indian. Would probably love the Turing treatment for his orientation that would be a filthy sin for the British. Reject Trojans!

people often don’t realise that India was actually having famines almost every year during the Mughal rule too, with 19/20 major ones having occurred in a 100 years, one of them being the Deccan famine in the 17th century, which had led to death of 7.3 million people, more than double the death toll of the Bengal famine, but this was two centuries earlier.

@Iyervval For those claiming the neutral, objective intent for this: The britcvck here, in this clip, chose to propagate the same atrocity literature on Sati, that forms the bedrock of colonial propaganda, regardless of what the guest actually said. The engagement itself is credence.
