Depends.


On what?

on whether or not the difference, and the conclusions you draw from it, can be proven.

and what would you accept as proof?

What can you give? It's mostly a case-by-case basis.

What about intelligence? There is a lot of data on that.

The review is done, and I'm leaving this locked. I feel no need to unlock it.

Pretty much everybody in Britain who was involved in the rule of India is really fucking dead. It was a long time ago.

60-70 years
Yes, so we'll allow that anyone in the UK over the age of 78 (taking your lowest) was in some way possibly involved, which makes up a small minority of the present UK population (less than 10%). Since anyone younger than 78 would have not had any control due to still being a minor, and anyone under the age of 60 (somewhere around 76% of the UK population) would have not even been born. So in reality, you blame the present UK, which is composed mostly of people who WERE NOT FUCKING EVEN BORN YET for what happened in India... So in my non-UK and non-Indian opinion as an objective observer... YOU'RE A FUCKING RACIST BIGOT!

EDIT: Edited in accordance with Farnhamia's post

Profanity ideally has no place in civil debate. I understand your frustration, but it adding it doesn't help.

stop making personal attacks and argue like a man

What an ironic statement coming from you after your various attacks and refusal to debate civilly.

A review of this thread suggests that there is no other purpose for the creation of it other than than to troll, for which you're receiving the following: *** warned for trolling. ***. If you want to know why, it's because you basically spent the entire thread spewing the same thing over and over without backing it up, leading me to believe the only intention you had with this was to anger and to provoke a negative response from other players.

If Britain conquered India, clearly the Indian non-existant government was too weak. The strong rule the weak, it is the way of the world.

heard it justification of british rule by the brits

lol
Its hardly even justification, its was a necessity. The Indians were ignorant savages that lived as slaves to their princes. The British came and gave them technology, education, democracy. A system of government, laws, and defense that the Indians still use today.

If anything I think the Indian nation owes Britain a thank you for all they did and an apology for being so childishly restless while Britain was bestowing their gifts.

Adding fuel to the fire is never a good practice. *** Warned for flamebaiting. ***
