your arguments are stupid @Asdrubal

The one famine that occurred during the independence killed only 3000 people and was met with relief @Calzilla

"Only 3000 people"

3000 people is way less than 4 million in the last famine under the Raj

But ok

the bengal famine was extremely complex and cannot be blamed on the raj tbh

It can be blamed on the war and Churchill

Who was a retard

this has devolved into shitflinging now so i will simply post some better resources

Just saying

Exploiting farmers and building roads to make exploitation more efficient

Isnt development

so far weve had correlation = causation

also the average iq of indians is like at max 88

the elite portion that come to the west are not representative

The only bad policy the British had in India economically was the salt act

Otherwise the British provided a lot of the economic infrastructure the Indians use today

The first Indian institutes of technology was established post independence

to be clear
i am not going dindu mode
we obviously werent saints but we did more good than bad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarva_Shiksha_Abhiyan

This was established post independence

ok

so?

An educational revolution took place post independence

Which would have never occurred

Under the raj

how do you figure?

seems like historical determinism

which is dumb and wrong

Literacy rates were only at 16% at the end of British rule

correlation does not = causation

It ways it started around the early 2000 (90's if you want to be generous), and the Raj was out by the 50's

<:scared:591188576859979778>

do you have any causal evidence for what you are claiming? @Asdrubal

About the literacy rate being 16%?

So to say that the Raj would have stopped that, would be ridiculously speculative

Bro these rates you're using were improved globally Chief
