Err...you're the one who's determined to obfuscate the issue. Stressing on exact percentages and precise land areas.
Am I? I just want to know when someone is going to stick to one area and one percentage
Feel free to make calculations based on this chart
I see India dwindling with America and Japan rising. That wouldn't have happened if the Brits (Portugese, French, Chinese or Russians) hadn't arrived?
Thank you, some facts at last.
East Indian company was affiliated to the British Crown. Mughals were not a part of any preexisting Empire
Oh dear. You can't answer the point without destroying your own premise.
On the contrary, India has made significant strides in all social and economic indices. Looting of hard collateral like Gold and Silver did make a difference yes.
Good god, when are you going to take responsibility for yourselves then? Fifty years time? A hundred? Or will it always be Britains fault?
We looted plenty thanks. When you conquer Britain, please help yourself to any of our (and your) baubles you want.
I guess what you don't want to mention and are frankly afraid to do is the spending of your money on a number of other projects rather than social reform. Still, it's your money and there's always the 'old colonial masters' to blame...... Forever ............... And ever ......
I personally think its time to grow up and face the world on your own two feet without continually leaning on that old crutch of colonial oppression.
