giga curry cope. The difference between the systems in most the world and India is that in India the rich are born to be rich, while in other places there is motility and you can decide to do another occupation. As for leftist courses, it wasn't, I know why the system was implemented by the Mauryas, it was better than the older tribal model that existed, but obviously compared to most the world that doesn't live in tribes, it's pretty backwards.Dude fuck off. Many Indians were raised underneath the caste system and had no need to "rise against". It worked fine for them for many years and no system on earth is perfect.
You took some leftist South Asian course and now think you know better than others and can shit on Indians even more. I see through your disguise.
Yes, the British did cause massive famines due to forcing people to grow crops that were profitable but didn't feed them. I never even said the British were good leaders (not that people there before were good leaders either), but at the end of their rule, India as a whole was not worse off than when the before the British came. They were not politically better off before and they weren't economically better off. You can't say the British held India back because it would grown at the same rate as it did under them, and by 1947 the end result was the same economically. Saying that India is poor now and has failed to progress as much as other nations is not Britain's fault.Famines and indentured servitude don't count as lower living standards? You said living standards didn't change during the time the British were in India. It's not all about economy and yet there are many other things to take into account that aren't easily quantified.
