British in India: Good or bad?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 23rd, 2018 11:40 PM Author: rough-skinned pearl address half-breed Was British colonialism in India a net positive or negative? Everything on the internet says India would be THE superpower if not for those evil Brits, which makes me question what exactly happened through 1949. Any different/recent perspective that dare challenges the basic assumption India would be a great power but-for Brit influence? Looking for an unbiased take.

Literally the first 25 links on google are all about how we need to rethink British colonialism (despite how every article says the same thing) and how terrible it was. What source can help me cut through the quagmire? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3869139&forum_id=2#35223348) |
