Members comparing british era in india vis a vis pre british aka mughals
During Mughal era Indian GDP was 1/3rd of the world.while the country was totally effed after the british occupation
Now under britishDuring the Mughal period (1526–1858) India experienced peaks and bottoms unprecedeneted in history. The gross domestic product of India in the 16th century was estimated at about 25.1% of the world economy.[12]
An estimate of India's pre-colonial economy puts the annual revenue of Emperor Akbar's treasury in 1600 at £17.5 million (in contrast to the entire treasury of Great Britain two hundred years later in 1800, which totalled £16 million).[citation needed] The gross domestic product of Mughal India in 1600 was estimated at about 24.3% the world economy, the second largest in the world.[12]
By this time the Mughal Empire had expanded to include almost 90 per cent of South Asia, and enforced a uniform customs and tax-administration system. In 1700 the exchequer of the Emperor Aurangzeb reported an annual revenue of more than £100 million.
In the 18th century, Mughals were replaced by the Marathas in much of central India while the other small regional kingdoms who were mostly late Mughal tributaries such as the Nawabs in the north and the Nizams in the south. However, the efficient Mughal tax administration system was left largely intact.
By this time, India had fallen from the top rank to become the second-largest economy in the world, after the Manchu China.[12] A devastating famine broke out in the eastern coast in early 1770s killing 5 per cent of the national population
Declining GDP[edit]
British economist, Angus Maddison argues that India's share of the world income went from 27% in 1700 (compared to Europe's share of 23%) to 3% in 1950.[12] Modern historians, Indian leaders during the Independence struggle and left-nationalist economic historians have blamed the colonial rule for the dismal state of India's economy, investment in Indian industries was limited since it was a colony
look man.i don't talk riddles and i don't understand them.
and if you have any jack(jugad) then please help me get into stephens
I am sure the servicemen are honoured and take strength from the respect of the common Indian, They sure do. I can at least say with confidence and first hand knowledge that but for the nation's backing Kargil would not have been won. We appreciate your confidence in the Armed Forces and your patience for allowing the Armed Forces to do the job, even though it took time.Sir, I can assure you, from my limited experience, Indian armed forces are the single most respected lot in the nation. Indians respect that institution & its men, the most. Almost to the point to mind-less (irrational) reverence & hero-worship (for whatever reasons). I fail to understand how can someone miss to observe this attitude among common Indians. Further, Indian media does have a role in lionize-ing our military.
That happens despite all the high-pitched stories that keep pouring in their drawing rooms', related to widespread malaise afflicting our armed forces which involves allegations of kickbacks, corruption, fund-embezzlement, crony-ism in the grant of defense contracts, & wasteful incompetence in utilizing allocated budget. Everyone knows what business several generals, admirals etc. & their kin are involved in but Indians choose to ignore all that (for some inexplicable reason). In my personal opinion, no one should be above reproach in an ideal world. But...that's a separate matter.
CoI's instituted by IA invariably tend to do fair justice in most such cases of inappropriation & misconduct. But the rot goes too deep than many would dare to admit.
As for the babu's attitude in disbursing the pension, the are treating all cattle by the same stick (laymen civilians & service-men alike).
Furthermore, they envy the armed forces, the respect it commands, the tradition, glamour, discipline, decorum & efficiency. The babu's have insecurities over petty matters of hierarchy/control & try to exercise the inordinate power vested in their position by a democratic regime & thus their oft indifferent & sometimes hostile attitude against servicemen.
IA leadership failed to convince the civilian leadership, that's sad & it should press harder through possible channels. It is another matter that having a war memorial figures really high on the mind of a young officer/servicemen. They have lot more pressing concerns that IA senior leadership has been failing to pay heed to.
Sir, don't you think that matter could have been settled by the local area commander's initiative ? All that was required was blessing from the GOC-in-C. We had the men, morale, equipment & capability to avenge it justifiably. But, that did not happen. The regimental honour, anger & everything withered away with passage of time. Why ?
What about avenging it " At a time & place of out Choosing" ? Our General gave that statement, right ?
Why always bend over backwards to accommodate the petty sensitivities of Sonia, MMS, Anthony & the Congress ilk ? Whatever happened to precedents laid out by Manekshaw, Sundarji, & Thimmaya ? Even then, India was a civilian democracy.
Everyone knows the exact reasons for this craven attitude regularly displayed by IA leadership. People know how promotions happen at Major Gen. & above level. You know that well, more than anybody on this forum. So lets not go there.
As long as post-retirement career remains the biggest concern of IA leadership, no one is going to be avenged ever.
Not all blame can be shifted on ass**** netas & inefficient babudom. Military should show some resolve & character. This is what the nation expected but the IA leadership fails to deliver for obvious reasons.
relax man.i was just joking.I don't talk in riddles nor am I PC.
I have said it in very normal workaday English.
I also am not into nepotism and influence peddling!
And when they allow themselves to be enslaved, where is the respect that one craves for?
Can't have your cake and eat it too, can you?
And anyway, how much of respect does independent India gives its soldiers and martyrs?
It is time to get REAL!
nope bruv, not going to gtfo.. you are one heck of an british ass kisser. you are going to be called out.
I never want this kind of Replies Stay on the Topic or
to ensure our pride stands tall in future first thing to do is to introduce these youngsters with these words:I cannot change history.
I accept the ignominy with all humility.
But hopefully I look to the future, where our real nationalism will overtake our infirmities and do us well!
I have faith in the youth like you all to steer and force the powers that be to ensure our pride stands tall. I shall be there with you shoulder to shoulder, but I will not curse our history because I am a pragmatist and I know that I cannot wash a line of it and instead learn some lessons out of it!
There are no black Englishmen as far as I know.relax man.i was just joking.
ok you won this time because i have to study for the exams.
but i will get you next time and still my thoughts aren't change and i got what you wanted to say.
you wanted to say white english are gone but black english people(our own countrymen i.e mp's and mla's) are looting us the same way those british thugs did and we should do something about it.
to do some thing about this problem i will vote kejriwal.i met him on the peeragarhi square redlight.i told him he was doing a great work and he smiled and thanked me.
Well, if we lost, then where is the crib?no one 'allowed' themselves to be enslaved. british didn't ask for any permission, they waged war on us.. won and then enslaved. defeated people can have respect too, but not those who are mental slaves. indians here have adjusted their brains to think britsh slavery was OK, hence you and SajeevJino are here arguing with your fellow indian brother over foreign rule over us. to any other nationality like irani, japani, turkish etc these things would be pretty clear.
as for respecting soldiers, so if independent india doesn't respect its soldiers and martyrs it somehow gives some amount of validity to british rule over india?
Indeed we must have Swabhimaan / Dignity / Ghairat of things the Indians are doing and thier Govt.nope bruv, not going to gtfo.. you are one heck of an british ass kisser. you are going to be called out.
anyway, did you think about my offer? you seem fond of british trains and buildings.. move to uk.. be their slave there and enjoy their facilities. but just know that to them you are nothing more than one stinky little indian. read the post by W. Ewald on page one?
to ensure our pride stands tall in future first thing to do is to introduce these youngsters with these words:
Swabhimaan / Dignity / Ghairat
especially to these SajeevJinos in the country
Well, if we lost, then where is the crib?
It means that they were better.
Defeated people can have no respect.
What respect did the Pakistanis have when 93000 of them were held captive as PsW?
They had to agree with everything Mr Indira Gandhi wanted them to do so that the PsW were released!
I don't think that just because you are an Indian, I have to agree with your automatically. Hardly logical a demand made by you.
One has to understand history, and the compulsions of those times.
One cannot cry over spilt milk.
One has to look to the future and make a new future out of what is there.
Indeed we must have Swabhimaan / Dignity / Ghairat of things the Indians are doing and thier Govt.
Like scams, thieving, pulling wool, rising inflation, getting kicked around by all the neighbours including insignificant specks like Maldives and covering it up with a lot lot of verbiage that is garbage.
Indeed, we should as Indians be proud of it since it is being done by Indians, right?
That is what you mean by Swabhimaan / Dignity / Ghairat , right?!
What logic!
nice, i like it. 'courage to change the things I can'... my point, basically.I just want to share you this
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
This. Indian only became an independent nation in 1947....all those Indian soldiers serving in the British Indian Army before that were paid mercenaries and nothing more. They fought and died for the British Empire, often committed atrocities against their own fellow Indians on the orders of their British masters (most famous example being Jallianwala Bagh), and generally acted as loyal tools in the hands of the British to subjugate their own countrymen.British Indian armed forces were somewhat like a professional mercenary army:
Theoretically: Ready to put down their lives in the line of duty, but
Practically: They were doing so, in the defense of those who provide them with livelihood. Rather than some imaginary sense of nationhood, patriotism or anything else.
If Indians had a real choice in those times, there would be hardly any native Indians in British Indian Army. Unfortunately, poverty was the biggest reality in those times & majority of Indians never had a real choice.
& Indians have done so (being in service of their imperial masters) regularly for last 800 years, roughly between 1192-1947 CE. So, no big deal. White, Semi-white/brown (Central-Asian, Iranian, Afghan etc.) hardly ever mattered to us. Those who paid their bills, Indians fought along their side.
And it is more or less, the same pattern world-over, throughout history. "Now, that's real-politic".
It is correct that defeat does not make one lose dignity or pride.no one is crying here. just trying to learn from past so that our beloved motherland doesn't have to ever go through what it went through in the past.
and you are wrong. defeat doesn't mean you lose your dignity and your pride. countries all over the world have at some point in history been conquered and defeated. they don't lose dignity and pride. iran was conquered by S arabia, you think they have lost all their pride and have turned into total slaves to arabs? or do you see pakistanis/bangladeshis today acting as indian slaves because they were defeated by indians? true defeat is when you lose your self respect. SajeevJino doesn't have any. he is a true slave. he sees everything the way brits want him to see. he has to thank brits for that one rail they built. but doen't have to abuse/protest/fight them for killing indians and looting india. it was people like him who used to say indians are way too primitive to be ruling themselves and therefore british rule is good for india. these were the people who used to discourage and oppose our freedom fighters. for our better future, we have to fight these people as well.
i didn't demand you to agree with me. you are entitled to your point of view. and i'm perfectly fine with that.
anyway, past is past. we will one day hopefully be successful in restoring indian pride in these SajeevJinos.
Retard logic?i'm sorry but this is retarded logic. my english is very weak so im not sure how do i put it. but let me try: suppose i burn down your house. you will be mad at me right? and what if you burn down your house yourself. would anyone care?
Indians can loot/burn down entire india but that wont give an ounce of validity to the british rule over india.
and all these things like scams, thieving, high inflation etc exists in UK too, right? does that mean they lose their british pride and forever hang there heads in shame? or do they ever invite foreign countries to rule over them when things get worse?
.nice, i like it. 'courage to change the things I can'... my point, basically
Thank you.If you understand hindi, here is something i would like to share with you. it is lyric to a song i'm listening right now.
The world is full of mercenaries and it is not soldiers alone.This. Indian only became an independent nation in 1947....all those Indian soldiers serving in the British Indian Army before that were paid mercenaries and nothing more. They fought and died for the British Empire, often committed atrocities against their own fellow Indians on the orders of their British masters (most famous example being Jallianwala Bagh), and generally acted as loyal tools in the hands of the British to subjugate their own countrymen.
Regardless of how many of them died in the world wars, it is inconsequential from the Indian nationalist perspective. Regarding Ray's story of the Indian General being honoured by the UK Prime Minister, I don't see what is surprising there. A master may love his dog for his loyal service, but the dog remains a dog and the master remains a master. What Indian freedom fighters did was to transform the master-dog relationship into one of equality. And yet today some posters want us to honour the dogs of the British Empire.
Remember, the same "soldiers" of the BIA fought against and killed thousands of patriotic soldiers of the Indian National Army of Subhas Chandra Bose. They defended the British Empire at a time when Churchill was engaged in a genocidal famine in Bengal.
At least the Germans formally apologized for the Holocaust and paid billions of RM in damages to Israel and the occupied territories. What did we get? Partition.
Screw the Brits and their supporters.
nope bruv, not going to gtfo.. you are one heck of an british ass kisser. you are going to be called out.
