My great grandfather from Poland was killed by a train in Chicago in 1907, along with his oldest son. They were trying to cross ahead of a train in a horse and buggy.

I tried to find a newspaper article about it, but that kind of train accident happened pretty much every day at the time, since there were no crossing gates.

...yes, back in the days when America was a developing third world country.

Didn't know Ireland was looted as well.

The English took what they learned from 500 years of raping Ireland and applied it to India. Famine was the favorite tool.

Ireland was exporting large quantities of food to England all during the famine, mostly beef.

When international outrage was at its peak, the English committed to a public works program to employ jobless Irish. Since it was against Mercantilist policy to improve a foreign country, the English instead paid Irish to rip up the roads in Ireland, further destroying the country.

There are still "famine roads" in Ireland which were pointed out to me. They don't go anywhere, but the English paid to have them built.

The Famine Roads of Ireland: Pathways to Nowhere

Across the rolling hills and rugged landscapes of western Ireland, one can find peculiar relics of a dark chapter in the island’s history. These are the Famine Roads - routes that climb into the hills, twist through valleys, and often end abruptly, leading nowhere. Their haunting presence is a testament to the desperation and suffering endured by countless Irish peasants during the Great Famine of 1845–1852.

Looks like the Brightline in Florida has its death toll. A lot are suicides like I witnessed at BART.

More than 180 people have met their end on Brightline tracks since 2017, making it the deadliest train in the country per million miles traveled. Even more disturbing is that most fatalities are arguably an idiosyncrasy of the state’s libertine, masochistic culture. Subsequent investigations have rarely found train conductors to be at fault, pointing instead to suicides as well as drivers attempting to beat trains at crossings. National Public Radio’s WRLN found that 41 percent of deaths since 2017 were suicides, though it neglected to provide a breakdown of the remaining fatalities. Much of the blame lies with both local and state governments, but Brightline itself has also been reluctant to spend resources on safety infrastructure due to its financial woes.

Lots of sunlight, lots of Vitamin D, which is great for teeth.

There's a reason why most darker Caribbeans are good looking - it's all the Irish blood in them.

Happy new year n diwali

My great grandfather (Irish) was killed by a horse taxi when crossing a road (New York State). He was 96 years old when it happened.

Guy knows what happens in that one location out of millions of towns. Yet choose to go there n particIpate, then complain about his experience as if he was unaware. 500 people out of 1,500,000,000 participate no need to bad mouth everyone.

Its like going to Florida eating frog, snake, n alligator purposely then saying all Americans eat that stuff .

Lol, I do agree these participants are crazy. Kinda disgusting. Even 20% of Americans who eat ass , might find it disgusting.

Wisconsin has something similar but doest make the news.

Tossing dry cowchips for distance is not the same as slathering each other with wet poop.

Diversity: Rutgers is a large public university with a diverse student population of many religions, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Approximately 5,000 of its 50,000 students on the New Brunswick campus are Muslim.

Ok, that is good enough number to kickstart Jihadist politics.

Bingo. It's different. If a finger slips when shitting out my own ass, it's an immediate shower. Not hand washing. And no I'm not a germaphobe. It's shit. I always try and force a shit out before a shower if I can.

Actually nothing wrong with that if cooked and seasoned properly. I'll try anything once and if I like it I would continue to eat it when available.

No different than the KKK here and all white males are racist. The problem with your argument is that it's shit, literally. As far as I've read the KKK doesn't do anything to blacks anymore and the membership is nothing basically. Point is we evolved as a society. India has not except the wealthy class.

500 people smearing shit on each other is 1 too many. I don't care if there's a billion people. And the 500 is all you hear about, it could be 5M and it's not reported of shit smears. No way to track that with that population.

I don't post on this thread to shit on you, pun intended, but we're not just talking cities and a few blocks like in LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, NOLA, etc. We're talking entire regions that are shit holes. You may be lucky to be connected or know where to go, but the internet and reporting says something completely different. I don't trust media, but at some point if so much shit is thrown at you, you have to believe it.

A tiny fraction of Indians in Japan was enough to radicalize the entire country into demanding mass deportations btw.

It's muslims n external people not only indians. India had great influence on Japan. Buddism and most Japanese gods are same as India.

British left india with 90% poverty rate.

What amazing place it used to be

What amazing smoke and mirrors from the Indian expats here. Vedic cultural remnants are somehow Dravidian, despite dravidians having no written language until 1000 years ago. (The Vedic peoples were steppe invaders. Tarim Basin of western China also had Sanskrit writers, and their mummies were red-haired, tall, and European genetically. The 5-25% of modern Indian DNA that clusters with Lithuanian end members comes from this period.)

Mughals built the Taj Mahal, in a style from Samarkand, but dravidians claim it. They also claim the Indus Valley culture, despite the DNA excavation showing proto-Iranian genetics similar to the Elamites (east Caucasus migrations down through the Iranian plateau 4500y ago).

Indians also claim incredible trillions “stolen” from a country with Bronze Age weaving, metallurgy, and subsistence farming. You’re welcome for the modern infrastructure. The introduction of thermodynamics alone is worth more than all the exported cloth, tea, and rice of India. Credit Borlag’s green revolution for enabling, via fertilizers and pest control, India’s swollen population. Modern India wouldn’t exist without western technology, and even then the country is squalid.

Goofs, you must not have known but india had trade n one of the richest till 1820 when British took over.

Top 2 oldest language are indian. 3500 old, they have thousands of books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit

Indus vally is how india got its name. Iran is next to it so people will exchange ideas n culture there.

India had 2 of the most fertile land and Asia almost always held 60 to 70% of world population. So it was some what hard to do famine unless British forced it.

1st diamond mine was in india. Next trip to London or DC museums, you can see how many diamonds are from.india.

The boat that British came to india was built by Indians. Dutch lost first battle in india.

Moguls built Taj mahal using indian labor n money. Also there is whole theory that it was built by Indian king n they modified it. Muslims don't build mosuleums for their 3rd wife. Have you seen any building that looks like that in middle east even 100 years ago before oil discovery.

Not only indians , even British historian claim that they stole it. Look up Yale university creator how he got rich n created yale.

We should not argue about which culture is better because Europeans and northern Indians are cousins on the male line. This is why we speak related Indo-European languages.

Did the various peoples of the Indian subcontinent get raped for 1,000 years by the musselman? - yes.

Did the British East India Company (later the British Raj) kill millions of Indians? - yes.

Was India ever meant to be one country, given its caste/cultural/geographic divisions? Probably not.

The peoples of the Indian subcontinent would have been better served by multiple independent governments like Europe before the globohomo takeover. I understand why India in aggregate was created - it was a massive bulwark against commie China in the early Cold War.

That never occurred to me, though I've often thought that India has as many different languages and cultures as Europe does.

The British drew the lines on the map for a reason. They also didn't like Kurds, so didn't give them a country.

True, the British were evil in drawing boundaries. The boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic was drawn specifically to make Protestants the majority in the north, a kind of gerrymandering.

India had many famines before the Raj, as recorded by Indians themselves

Now you're asking the right questions.

Look at how the Sykes-Picot agreement carved up the former Ottoman Empire. None of the "nations" manufactured at the point of a pen were anywhere near viable - so the frogs and the english set up the minority population as the leaders, so that they would be dependent on colonial powers to maintain their rule.

India was and is a kaleidoscope of cultures for the past 2000 years or so. There was constant war in the Indian subcontinent first between rival kingdoms, then against the musselman invaders, then against the East Indian mercenaries, then against the english raj,

India as a nation is inherently ungovernable - by design.

He ruled Nawanagar from 1933 to 1947 when Nawanagar was merged into the United State of Kathiawar, after which he held his title nominally. In the midst of World War II, Jadeja is personally credited for saving around a thousand Polish orphans between 1942 and 1946, following the Invasion of Poland.

Also no one was asked convert their religion.
