UK is a shithole in itself. In the Victorian era when England was at its peak, it was not much different than us. A tiny wealthy majority enslaving and taking advantage of the poor majority. If it weren't for the riches coming in from its colonies, England would have had a civil war of its own.

Coming to the modern UK, I don't know how many have been to London. But it is a shithole on par with the worst in the world. Islamic no go ghettos, jobless and homeless districts which are worse than ghettos even in Africa, lawless filthy crime zones where police even fear to tread, poor districts which the Modern European thinking and political system ignored. take your pick. These areas are largely ignored by tourists and the ignorant pseudo desis who kiss western ass. What modern UK has is a very much smaller area and population along with the looted riches from its colonies. Has anyone been to Peckham? Tottenham? Barking? Canning town? Tottenham will actually give even Somalia a run for its money. UK has better roads and well organized phone/electricity lines. i'll give it that. if that's your definition of success and prosperity. you win, read no further.

Those who actually think western system, its philosophies and its methods bring prosperity are ignorant simpletons. It brought nothing but ruin to many countries some of which unfortunately was destroyed so bad that its highly unlikely for then to recover their stability ever (most former central and south African countries). I suppose we don't blame Britain/France for their turmoil too? Do you know the Average Brits reason for that? Africans were beyond help. They were uncultured to a point where its simply not possible to develop anything. ----- Yeah right. and that's a narrative that a lot western desis agree.

So we had a pretty messed up foundation post India to begin with. And again, for this who think "oh if we had been shrewd and hard working atleast these 70 years" we could have been on par with US/Europe why are you blaming UK for that? Even China with its one party system couldn't achieve total development. its a great propaganda feat though. Only its east coast is rich and prosperous. The central and West is largely underdeveloped except for their individual capitals. It was only Singapore, thanks to its miniscule size and tiny population. India is a totally different beast altogether. vast area, massive population, so many languages.

The problem is that west now controls the media and most of the literature that people around the world read. and as a thumb rule, people are dumb and do not think for themselves. As a result, today western systems are the norm, the white man is 'cool' and their thinking is right.

Ofcourse I do blame Indians for our mistakes. Its a shame that a country of tens of millions were controlled by just a few thousand men. But the Britishers were amazingly smart, they didn't use brute force to colonize. they just lowly chipped away until they won. and they used every tactic, however dirty and unethical. the effects of which still are around today. but what I cannot to is let the Brits wash off the blood on their hands and say "OK its just you now, so its your fault we just looted your country, destroyed its economy and divided your society for just over 200 years ".

Eat a d*ck you stalker

.................................................................
Yes I have read a decent book on economics you asshole. I find it interesting. There is an actual purposeful reason I do this so that I can get a job relating to it.

Or are you only good at being an annoying ass stalker who only exists to respond cynically at everything his miniscule d*ck sized brain can't process so he can feel better about himself?

In case you haven't noticed having a dog avatar doesn't exactly exempt you from being a "furry". Or maybe that's just your way of expressing your inherent inclination towards bestiality.:dude:
Hahahahahahaha. Thanks for the rage.

LOL, now even inflected with inferiority complex like pakis and banglas.:lol:
@Akask kumar @Dovah @Superdefender @HariPrasad-1 @armyofhind

"I've spent quite a long length of my time in India observing racial sentiments, and after a good few years and reading up on open articles, I've now got a clearer idea in my heat that India is more of a country which is turning quite arrogant as the eyes of the world turn to its incredibly fast rising economics and their lovely poster-boy Modi waves his willy in front of the people to massive applause from the mass-scale ignorants whom live with their heads buried in the ground.

Anything an excuse for a show of arrogance and India is there with its puppet-shows especially with regards to their so-called “Line of control” i.e separating their territories from India, Pak and China, over the last few months their have been numerous incidents of India

Three killed, six injured by Indian fire along Line of Control - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

Fire exchanged across India-Pakistan border in Kashmir

Pak Admits 7 Soldiers Killed In Indian Fire At Line Of Control (LoC) , Warns Of Escalation

Perhaps I may be wrong but Pakistan’s genpop really don’t give a toss about the territorial disputes anymore and simply want to live out their days in peace.

A lot of observations on some of their defence-related forums made it apparent that a lot of the Indian’s on there were more-favoured towards a massive show of force against Pakistan with regards to updating a lot of their ancient and cold-war era weaponry."

Former British soldiers dubbed the ‘Chennai Six’ will spend today in ‘hell hole’ India prison after their hopes of coming home were dashed


Published December 26, 2016



Six former British soldiers turned ‘pirate hunters’ are spending Christmas Day in a ‘hellhole’ Indian prison :toilet::toilet: after their hopes of gaining freedom were dashed. The six ex-paratroopers were working as mercenaries for US maritime company AdvanFort to protect ships from Somali pirates :hmm::hmm::hmm:when they were arrested after entering Indian waters in October 2013. :hookah::hookah:

They were jailed for five years in January for ‘importing guns for jihadists’ :puke::puke:– although the punishment was branded a ‘miscarriage of justice’ by their families and politicians in Britain.

The six – who have a combined 74 years of service – are Nick Dunn, from Ashington; Ray Tindall from Chester; Paul Towers, from Yorkshire; John Armstrong, from Wigton, Cumbria; Billy Irving, from Connel, Argyll, and Nicholas Simpson, from Catterick, North Yorkshire.

Last month their appeal was heard in court but the languorous legal system in India has meant a ruling on their appeal is expected until the New Year.

If they fail to quash their convictions they face four more years behind bars at Puzhal prison, home to 3,000 inmates including murderers and rapists :shpanda::shpanda:, in Chennai, formerly known as Madras.

Armstrong’s brother, Joanne Thomlinson, from Wigton, Cumbria, said: ‘Christmas and birthdays, you would normally be with your family.:crutch::crutch:

These days are a bit harder for John and the others to get through. The whole thing is an absolute tragedy. :drunk2::drunk2:

‘It is incredible to think what impact this has had on so many lives. So many parents, children, brothers and sisters, wives – just completely lost while their loved one suffers in prison.’

Indian coastguards first boarded their vessel, the MV Seaman Guard Ohio, and arrested them for bringing weapons into India’s territorial waters in October 2013. :fishing::fishing:

The charges were initially quashed when the men argued the weapons were lawfully held for anti-piracy purposes and their paperwork, issued by the UK Government, was in order.

But a lower court reinstated the prosecution and they were sentenced to five years in jail. :denied::denied:

Their families say the ‘Chennai Six’ are being held in ‘horrendous’ conditions, sleeping on concrete floors, in sweltering heat with inadequate water, prison meals of ‘curried slop and rice’ and poor sanitation, with toilets being a hole in the floor.

The smell ‘just hits you’ on entering the prison, say relatives who have visited to take supplies including teabags, sweets and toilet paper. None of the men are allowed telephone calls home.:hippo::hippo:

Ann Towers, whose husband Paul spent 12 years with the Parachute Regiment and 20 as a prison officer, said: ‘I’m really quite bitter about the fact that we are in this situation, three years after it started, and this is their fourth Christmas in that country.’:santa::santa::santa:

Mrs Towers, from York, said: ‘That prison is a hellhole. We have led lives with integrity:daru::daru::daru:. We have never done anything wrong. We have paid taxes, :bplease::bplease::bplease:we have worked since leaving school, we have served. This is just abhorrent.

‘It’s such a time of family Christmas. And then not to be together, because we are a close family, it’s horrendous.’

Mrs Towers said the fact Theresa May raised the matter on a recent visit to India and Britain’s High Commissioner in India has visited the men in jail ‘speaks volumes’ and shows they are not guilty men convicted abroad who simply want to come home.

She said: ‘I truly believe they know these men are innocent. We have just got to hope and pray what’s gone on behind closed doors is going to do something, have some effect.

‘Until we get this decision through, we are in limbo, this horrendous torture.’

When Yvonne MacHugh visited her fiance Billy Irving recently she took their two-year-old son William, said: ‘It was only the second time he had seen him, the first time he was only three months old, so this time he was running about saying ‘Daddy!’. That’s what made him so positive about all this, he’s just desperate to get home in time for Christmas and see William.

‘That’s the one place they want to be. It’s Christmas. It’s not a time to be in prison.’

Miss MacHugh, from Glasgow, said she believed Foreign Office diplomacy to get the men home was not working.

‘They speak a good game and say they are doing all they can. For the last three years, they have managed to do nothing,’ she said.

Their US employer, AdvanFort, ‘walked away’ from the situation and have not paid salaries or helped with legal and travel fees, the families say.

The firm was not available for comment.

Family and friends have rallied round, the Mission To Seafarers charity has helped and legal advice has come for free from City lawyer Stephen Askins, a maritime law expert and ex-Royal Marine.

Mr Askins said: ‘It’s a miscarriage of justice. They should not have been charged.’:fyeah::fyeah:

A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said the matter had been raised regularly at the highest levels.

She said: ‘We recognise what a difficult time this is for those involved and we have taken significant action on this case.

‘Foreign Office staff in India have been providing support to all six men since their arrest and are working to make sure their welfare is protected in prison. We are also in regular contact with their families in the UK.’

Remember East India Company? British tactically used the Pirates to establish dominance over the ocean trade routes. Some of the pirates enjoyed special relationship with the British government.

Western agencies started this old game under the garb of anti-piracy. Pushing those private gun boats into our region to carry out their activities with 100% deniability.

Central Government under Manmohan Singh initially dropped all charges, all the men from Seaman Guard Ohio were released on bail, but then a diplomatic tussle broke out between US and India which resulted in the government which had already lost it's face hardening it's position and the decision to grant them bail was overturned.

Were they really running guns for the jihadi's? Won't they find it easier to supply it via paki land than via sea route?

Paki brain assumes that highest population of Pakistani muslims by percentage among Muslims shows that they have the highest rate of entrpreneurship in the whole country!! Logical fallacies:

1) Living in Silicon Valley does not translate in entrepreneurship. What percentage of these Pakis are cab drivers and what percentage are low wage workers?

2) Even if higher percentage of Pakistanis amongst Muslims is an entrepreneur how does this translate to the highest rate of entrepreneurship in the whole country!! What is the rate of entrepreneurship amongst other communities in the country?

All this shows is that Musalman is the biggest fuddu community and Pakistani is perhaps (citations needed) one eyed among the blind due to their Indian DNA pulling them back from total Islamicization.

Really? Try venturing into the land of freedom and liberty a.k.a US with a boat full of guns. Will throw you a grand party if you or your offspring manage to return back in next 150 years.

The six ex-paratroopers were working as mercenaries for US maritime company AdvanFort to protect ships from Somali pirates :hmm::hmm::hmm:when they were arrested after entering Indian waters in October 2013. :hookah::hookah:

They were jailed for five years in January for ‘importing guns for jihadists’ :puke::puke:– although the punishment was branded a ‘miscarriage of justice’ by their families and politicians in Britain.

The six – who have a combined 74 years of service – are Nick Dunn, from Ashington; Ray Tindall from Chester; Paul Towers, from Yorkshire; John Armstrong, from Wigton, Cumbria; Billy Irving, from Connel, Argyll, and Nicholas Simpson, from Catterick, North Yorkshire.

Last month their appeal was heard in court but the languorous legal system in India has meant a ruling on their appeal is expected until the New Year.

If they fail to quash their convictions they face four more years behind bars at Puzhal prison, home to 3,000 inmates including murderers and rapists :shpanda::shpanda:, in Chennai, formerly known as Madras.

Armstrong’s brother, Joanne Thomlinson, from Wigton, Cumbria, said: ‘Christmas and birthdays, you would normally be with your family.:crutch::crutch:

These days are a bit harder for John and the others to get through. The whole thing is an absolute tragedy. :drunk2::drunk2:

‘It is incredible to think what impact this has had on so many lives. So many parents, children, brothers and sisters, wives – just completely lost while their loved one suffers in prison.’

Indian coastguards first boarded their vessel, the MV Seaman Guard Ohio, and arrested them for bringing weapons into India’s territorial waters in October 2013. :fishing::fishing:

The charges were initially quashed when the men argued the weapons were lawfully held for anti-piracy purposes and their paperwork, issued by the UK Government, was in order.

But a lower court reinstated the prosecution and they were sentenced to five years in jail. :denied::denied:

Their families say the ‘Chennai Six’ are being held in ‘horrendous’ conditions, sleeping on concrete floors, in sweltering heat with inadequate water, prison meals of ‘curried slop and rice’ and poor sanitation, with toilets being a hole in the floor.

The smell ‘just hits you’ on entering the prison, say relatives who have visited to take supplies including teabags, sweets and toilet paper. None of the men are allowed telephone calls home.:hippo::hippo:

Ann Towers, whose husband Paul spent 12 years with the Parachute Regiment and 20 as a prison officer, said: ‘I’m really quite bitter about the fact that we are in this situation, three years after it started, and this is their fourth Christmas in that country.’:santa::santa::santa:

Mrs Towers, from York, said: ‘That prison is a hellhole. We have led lives with integrity:daru::daru::daru:. We have never done anything wrong. We have paid taxes, :bplease::bplease::bplease:we have worked since leaving school, we have served. This is just abhorrent.

‘It’s such a time of family Christmas. And then not to be together, because we are a close family, it’s horrendous.’

Mrs Towers said the fact Theresa May raised the matter on a recent visit to India and Britain’s High Commissioner in India has visited the men in jail ‘speaks volumes’ and shows they are not guilty men convicted abroad who simply want to come home.

She said: ‘I truly believe they know these men are innocent. We have just got to hope and pray what’s gone on behind closed doors is going to do something, have some effect.

‘Until we get this decision through, we are in limbo, this horrendous torture.’

When Yvonne MacHugh visited her fiance Billy Irving recently she took their two-year-old son William, said: ‘It was only the second time he had seen him, the first time he was only three months old, so this time he was running about saying ‘Daddy!’. That’s what made him so positive about all this, he’s just desperate to get home in time for Christmas and see William.

‘That’s the one place they want to be. It’s Christmas. It’s not a time to be in prison.’

Miss MacHugh, from Glasgow, said she believed Foreign Office diplomacy to get the men home was not working.

‘They speak a good game and say they are doing all they can. For the last three years, they have managed to do nothing,’ she said.

Their US employer, AdvanFort, ‘walked away’ from the situation and have not paid salaries or helped with legal and travel fees, the families say.

The firm was not available for comment.

Family and friends have rallied round, the Mission To Seafarers charity has helped and legal advice has come for free from City lawyer Stephen Askins, a maritime law expert and ex-Royal Marine.

Mr Askins said: ‘It’s a miscarriage of justice. They should not have been charged.’:fyeah::fyeah:

A spokeswoman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said the matter had been raised regularly at the highest levels.

She said: ‘We recognise what a difficult time this is for those involved and we have taken significant action on this case.

‘Foreign Office staff in India have been providing support to all six men since their arrest and are working to make sure their welfare is protected in prison. We are also in regular contact with their families in the UK.’

Seems like an excellent story for Locked up/Banged Abroad type series.

Really? Try venturing into the land of freedom and liberty a.k.a US with a boat full of guns. Will throw you a grand party if you or your offspring manage to return back in next 150 years.
i don't need to... i can buy guns there, i just need to a get a valid hunting license.. although this will restrict the type of guns i can own i.e. i could only buy rifles and shot guns.

if I indent to with a boat full of gun then i would need an approved U.S. Department of Justice ATF-6 NIA application and permit for temporary importation of firearms and ammunition by nonimmigrant aliens

forget A5 they think anything we buy they'll say we bought out of the penuts they give us
British aid,which was officially stopped in 2016 January,was less than what the Indian govt. provides to farmers as subsidy for fertilizers.
Not to mention,India is a net donor of financial aid.

Well obviously it wasn't justifiable in any way but then again its also been 7 decades. Not to mention most of the colonial administration isn't really alive anymore.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I really can't push any blame onto people that weren't involved.
I suggest you to watch Sashi Tharoor Video on British Atrocities in India.

We were producing 17% of world gdp which fell to mere 2-3% and do you know the impact on a country.
If three generations (policies of east india company and british raaj vary like hell. Pre 1857, east India took some where aroun 15 crores in 1857 money and post 1857 queen took many times higher than that of east india company) of a country being robbed like anything, then do you know the effects on the next generation...

In your post #111 why dont you replace it with.

They took land from my geat grand father
Jewellery and wealth from my grand father
My father sold out his house and became a day wager to feed us....

This is what happened to most us.

Oh yaa 7 decades, no one screwed you for generations so you dont know.

Thanks to british raaj, only 18%population were educated, more than 60% people could hardly have one meal a day.

During Lal Bahdur Shastri time, he asked every rich indian to have only 2 meals a day so that poor can have atleast one meal.

British Raaj scars are very real and haunt us even today, so just don't ever down play them like you did in #111.

Even tofay we acknowledge that there are problems in India even after 70 yrs, but you never see a politician blame british except on Independence day or Republic day.

So, just stop giving lectures on topics you know nothing about

Yeah and my dad lived in a small shitty dilapidated little apartment in Andheri West with his parents and his 3 siblings for thirty years what else is new? Did he blame it on people he's never seen? No?

Too bad because its STILL BEEN 70 fucking years!

You had enough time to start over but you didn't because you are not erudite like Singapore

Stop using other people you've never met as a pillow to vent your frustrations out on and start looking at yourself huh

People are not rich simply because you are poor

ok dwi. (^v^)
