Let us, instead, concentrate on our own problems with the Chinese Communist Party, and our Prime Minister and Defence Minister who are currently hastening to make it clear that they don't agree with everything the US says about China - already sidling away from their responsibilities to face the China threat, and insult our main ally - the only one that can possibly help us. The pathetic creatures think that the CCP will be impressed when, it fact, they will be further convinced that Australia is a pushover.

Onya Azimullah. Carn Khan! You lady killer you.

This is not an analysis of the Indian/Chinese conflict, it is just another anti Britain, anti Imperialism message from a regressive woke.

As I understand Indian history, prior to the coming of the British, the place was a shiitfight. Various rajahs and moguls had absolute authority over their personal domains and they ruled with capricious cruelty. The Indian moguls and rajahs were constantly at war with one another, and the highways were infested with cut throat Thugees. India was the most hopelessly backward of all the contemporary civilisations of the time, and it still engaging in barbaric practices such as suttee. That was how it had been for a couple of millennia and under the rajahs nothing was ever going to change.

If the Indians resented British rule, then they must have been racists. After all, as lefties like Warren Reed constantly remind us, "there is only one race, the human race."

The British did very well out of India after they built roads, bridges, introduced modern methods of agriculture, and over time introduced the Indians to science and technology. The road to Kabul was opened and commerce flourished under Peace Britannica. As conquerors go they were pretty good and a long way in front of the Muslims who routinely massacred millions of Hindus wherever they found them.

It was said that the reason why the British and the Indians got on so well was because Napoleon had once sneered about the British that "they were a nation of shopkeepers." Which is exactly what the Indians were. The British and Indians for the most part got on pretty well, even though some Indian notables still wanted to get their hands back on absolute power and get their sticky fingers back on the treasury.

I know the British did too, but unlike the Indian ruling classes, they gave something back. Have a look at Beirut today if you think that imperialism is automatically wrong. Recent news reports are saying that ordinary Lebanese are hoping that another country will invade Lebanon to save the Lebanese from their corrupt and incompetent ruling class.
