You could argue for maybe a confederal solution

2019-08-07 17:29:16 UTC  

but the Pakis clearly don want it

2019-08-07 17:29:20 UTC  

"Once the lines were established, about 14.5 million people crossed the borders to what they hoped was the relative safety of religious majority. The 1951 Census of Pakistan identified the number of displaced persons in Pakistan at 7,226,600, presumably all Muslims who had entered Pakistan from India."

The Raj was a British creation anyway

2019-08-07 17:29:43 UTC  

it was just a colony

2019-08-07 17:29:55 UTC  

its boundaries did not represent local, historical baoundaries

2019-08-07 17:29:57 UTC  

or ethnic

2019-08-07 17:30:02 UTC  

Exactly

2019-08-07 17:30:03 UTC  

or any other

2019-08-07 17:30:08 UTC  

Hence we have massive issues in the ME today

2019-08-07 17:30:15 UTC  

yes

2019-08-07 17:30:45 UTC  

Brits also pitted the minorities against one another to some extent

2019-08-07 17:31:03 UTC  

As a means to facilitate staying in power

2019-08-07 17:31:07 UTC  

Keep them fighting each other and not us.

2019-08-07 17:31:10 UTC  

ye

2019-08-07 17:31:43 UTC  

s'hard to account for what impact that had long term though

2019-08-07 17:32:08 UTC  

Well that wasn't taken into consideration

2019-08-07 17:32:18 UTC  

Because it was assumed, more troops could be stationed there

2019-08-07 17:32:20 UTC  

The Parsis were very much used by the Brits, yet they are entirely fine and no one minds them.

2019-08-07 17:32:50 UTC  

No, I mean what impact it ended up having on he situation today

2019-08-07 17:33:06 UTC  

Ah

2019-08-07 17:33:17 UTC  

It wasn't assumed we would be pulling out

2019-08-07 17:33:21 UTC  

Or disbanding the empire

2019-08-07 17:33:24 UTC  

sure

2019-08-07 17:35:45 UTC  

I'm somewhat confused by the Sargonites meming about how Britain can just trade with the Commonwealth after it leaves the EU. Surely the biggest market there is India and I cannot imagine they are that interested in opening themselves again for privileged British merchants...

2019-08-07 17:36:13 UTC  

Both India and the UK want more economic growth

2019-08-07 17:36:24 UTC  

India wants it, so it can *try* compete with China

2019-08-07 17:36:29 UTC  

The UK wants it to stay afloat

2019-08-07 17:36:42 UTC  

literally everyone wants more economic growth, other then some weirdo extremists

2019-08-07 17:36:52 UTC  

Most of the idiots on here that are anti EU cheered when we voted to leave

2019-08-07 17:37:08 UTC  

They're also the people to complain about immigration from """Asia"""

2019-08-07 17:37:21 UTC  

Yet they fail to realise that us leaving the EU will mean increasing immigration from """Asia"""

2019-08-07 17:37:29 UTC  

lol yes

2019-08-07 17:37:32 UTC  

Importing MORE people they despise into the country

2019-08-07 17:37:42 UTC  

I've met plenty of Poles and a few Romanians

2019-08-07 17:37:45 UTC  

They're alright

2019-08-07 17:37:52 UTC  

it's a choice between Romanians and Pakis I'm afraid

2019-08-07 17:37:54 UTC  

They work hard and they're not scum

2019-08-07 17:37:58 UTC  

Pakis on the other hand

2019-08-07 17:38:11 UTC  

Are like a growing cancer who despise us
