You guys dont give up, You think India got all this technological acumen because british ruled it? 5000 yr old civilization and 200yrs of british rule is who gave them all this edge.

Yes. Products of the Industrial Revolution, and learning how to use them, is entirely British in origin.
India did not have the steam or combustion engines prior to the British bringing them over, and teaching Indians how to maintain and build them.
And then you say you are not racist?
indc saysAnd then you say you are not racist?
Yeah - piss off with your racist charges.
India has made some great strides in recent years, but it still has massive problems - namely being one of the poorest places on earth. I think India is #2 behind Nigeria in number of people living in extreme poverty?
It is not racist or bigoted to point out that India's civilization has some work to do to catch up with the 1st world - if your civilization values the well being and economic health of its people.
If civilization was only based on race as you seem to contend, your country would absolutely be fucked....
Are you "strategist"? I had same discussion with him. Just because you had 1 invention it does not mean you are superior. Yes you got lucky. India invented '0' and infinity and gave it to world that does not mean it is better "culture" than others.

Uh, steam combustion was more revolutionary than agriculture. Steam & Gas Combustion combined was beyond revolutionary.
Also work on Malaria, High Farming, Massive Scale Drainage, Canal Building, Computers (ditto), Refrigeration, Telegraph/Radio, Chemistry, Modern Medicine, etc. etc.
Any one of these were World shocking developments. That there were so many in one place at one time speaks volumes of the society that did it.
Everybody knows the "Zero" and Systemic Algebra were Indian inventions, but don't try to devalue the Amazing, Groundbreaking, and utterly Incredible inventions and discoveries of the British Society.
India is poor because british looted it.
Then a mugger(british) comes and asks the guy to give all his belongings. Even after taking everything from the guy the mugger doesn't leave he kicks the guy
indc saysIndia is poor because british looted it.
I'd say it is poor because governance system is poor and highly corrupt. British looted Hong Kong and Singapore as well. Germany was bombed into oblivion 70 yrs ago. All those countries are now very rich.
Nearly 70 yrs of independence should be enough to get house in order.
Indc
I dont disagree there. Governance was a problem. People kicked out the party that was ruling for 70 yrs.
But your examples cant compare to India. HongKong singapore are city states. Germany had technology and know-all before the war and recover after war with US help. You can compare what happened to eastern germany.
British left with undefined borders and India is in state of war ever since which again doesn't help with development.

That sadly is human history in nutshell. British vs. Indians, Muslims vs. Indians, Germans vs. the rest of Europe and later the rest of Europe vs. Germans, and so on.
What is common in all these conflicts - Abrahamic expansionism maybe.
indc saysWhat is common in all these conflicts - Abrahamic expansionism maybe.
Probably in Muslim vs Indian, in other cases not so much. Adolf liked old Germanic religions AFAIK. In any case, religion always was an additional excuse for looting. Agree though that monotheistic religions typically are more aggressive.
WRT to development, see Japan, S. Korea - they are not city states and were devastated as well. S. Korea is in state of war even now.
YouTube employees will soon start organizing pride parades.
India tried the socialist approach as it had to ride on Russia's coat tails. That was one of its major mistakes.

That probably set India back another generation. That shitty economic system can screw up cultures and civilization.
Now you have American companies like the one I work for setting up shop in India employing software developers and doing some manufacturing.
Does that work for the original Indian ethos?
If it wasn't for the Brits we wouldn't have IPA!
But they dont need to lie that they brought "culture" to India. No need for white man's burden.

So glad to hear the Indians re-invented the Railroad and Antibiotics, refusing to use those objects of British Imperialism.
Youtube just demonetized one of my videos for no apparent reason. And I can't request a manual review because it doesn't have sufficient traffic. How convenient, since I assume they suppress non-monetized content. #StopBeingEvil pic.twitter.com/YipTf4Dx0W

really dude, you think railroads and antibiotics are culture? India gave vaccination to west are you going to stop using it?
indc saysreally dude, you think railroads and antibiotics are culture? India gave vaccination to west are you going to stop using it?
Yes, technology is downstream from culture. No doubt about it.
No wonder west is doomed with that attitude. You can see how many people go berserk with their depression.
European renaissance occurred after they robbed whole world of ideas, materials , technology... And with all that imagine how much they could have helped humanity, but instead they did 2 world wars and destroyed each other.
First of all, what does the term, Indo-Aryan mean?
Let's break it down ...
Indo-Aryan is Indo-{ Ancient Persian } or Indianized-{ White Foreign Invader }.
Yes, India was not just ruled by Turkic Moghuls and the British Empire starting from the renaissance times but also, the Maurya & the Kushan "Persians" during ancient times,, nevermind the original Aryan invasion prior to 1200 BCE.
With this many whites screwing around in South Asia, to call out the British, is being hypocritical. India was always to some extent, a white man's bitch even if the earlier whites were Buddhists or Zoroastrians.
Nothing is white or black. Everything is a mix of positive and negative. Did British exploit/oppress India to their own benefit? Yes. Did they try to enforce their ideas on India? Yes. Was the latter good or bad? Probably some of both. Railroads, antibiotics=good for sure, as was start to abolish caste system and widow burning. Did, at some point in distant past, India contribute a lot to what we currently know as civilization? Yes. Does India contribute now? Not so much lately. Are the current problems in India result of British or Indians? I think 95+% caused by Indians.
And a few more points:
1. Before the Europeans took over Western Indian ports, they were mostly controlled by Arab Imperialists. This is in addition to the Moghuls, I mean Arabs from the Gulf, not the Persians or Islamic Mongols.
2. The Europeans gained Western Indian Ports because they were first used by Indians as Mercenaries, trading port access to the Portugese to drive out the Muslims
3. Europeans played Indians against each other - easy because they were all petty kingdoms with the king's younger brother thinking he should be in charge - and ended up in control of small disconnected pieces of India.
4. One day in the late 1700s the British and French realized that instead of manipulating Indians, they might as well just rule directly.
None of the facts you listed are wrong. But all I am saying is your small brain can think of only 500yrs. Where as the history out there is much-much older.
You guys are complaining that all the problems India has is its own.

I'd argue that India hitching it's wagon to the USSR and flirting with Communism did far more harm to the people living today than the British colonial rule.
Why would chinese and japanese complain they were not occupied and looted by europeans of both materials and knowledge. Africa and India did.

Where did you get stupid idea that buddhists are outsiders to India.
Persians and Indians are pretty much the same.

So if you make a video about veterans deserving superior treatment, that's hateful? Or elderly people?
Of course, I'll be shocked if they don't pull all the Praeger U. videos while leaving up the "Men should be castrated" "Whiteness is Toxic" and "Anti-Termite" videos will remain.
Regulators, mount up!
