Actually, we're growing. There's more of us now then ever, and chances are, our numbers will continue to increase until it stabilizes. Technology is far more effective a tool than evolution, quicker and more efficient. We're not going extinct anytime soon.


the growth of our numbers is one of, if not the, major DE-stabilizing factors!

(and a direct threat to the very conditions that make our continued existence possible)
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

No, they came there with their economic ideas. Racism wasn't their main goal. Furthermore, you're being racist against them, which is being just as bad as them. You're an Indian 'Britisher', assuming that you are, indeed, Indian.

what economic ideas systmatic exploitation ?

And how many good Moguls can you think of?

"Each winter Mahmud [of Ghazni] descended into India, filled his treasure chest with spoils, and amused his men with full freedom to pillage and kill; each spring he returned to his capital richer than before. At Mathura (on the Jumna) he took from the temple its statues of gold encrusted with precious stones, and emptied its coffers of a vast quantity of gold, silver and jewelry; he expressed his admiration for the architecture of the great shrine, judged that its duplication would cost one hundred million dinars and the labor of two hundred years, and ordered it to be soaked with naphtha and burnt to the ground. Six years later he sacked another opulent city of northern India, Somnath, killed all its fifty thousand inhabitants, and dragged its wealth to Ghazni. In the end he became, perhaps, the richest king that history has ever known. Sometimes he spared the population or the ravaged cities, and took them home to be sold as slaves; but so great was the number of such captives that after some years no one could be found to offer more than a few shillings for a slave. Before every important engagement Mahmud knelt in prayer, and asked the blessing of God upon his arms. He reigned for a third of a century; and when he died, full of years and honors, Moslem historians ranked him as the greatest monarch of his time, and one of the greatest sovereigns of any age."

-The Durants' The Story of Civilization, Volume One, Our Oriental Heritage, page 460.

That's typically how the occupation worked for hundreds of years; if you read on, you learn how feasts were held when enough Hindus were butchered in a day, and children (like Akbar, actually) were brought up beheading captured women and children for pleasure.

Tribal in the sense that they are made up of regional ethnic groups. Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan and similar Middle Eastern states can be considered tribal, as the fabric of the nation is made up of small regional ethnic groups, which disagree with federal governance for historical, economic or nationalistic reasons.

But why do I bother?

it means the colonizer (in this case british) thinks the colonized are there for the welfare of mother country and therefore inferior human beings

Unrestricted trade between Britain and India, I meant. Having a thousand warring little states isn't good for getting material back to England.
