Some discussions in this forum have even been supportive of the English rule. This article clearly crushes all such ideas.

One statement particularly struck me:

"Not surprisingly, there was no increase in India's per capita income during the whole period of British overlordship from 1757 to 1947"

Assuming even a 3% increase in per capita income in that period we would be 275 times more richer than what we are now!

  You b*stard, after draining the country, you are asking why it hasn't move on to today!! 50 years is long time for you to restore what is not there? You are not the one to take up such discussion. You PIG. Any way, this is typical of the British - know how to be wrong and strong. Do what you want with people then tell them what to do. I can bet you kind will be wiped out soon and it will be done in such a way for the world to know why. Watch my words. This is why Britain keeps going down and get hungrier by the day. Places like India will have to provide again soon after I gets on its feet. Shame! Then Indians should not look back to go forward.
