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
This was established post independence
ok
so?
An educational revolution took place post independence
Which would have never occurred
Under the raj
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

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
Global literacy rates improved
about basically every stat you posted
Global income improved
So did global life expectancy
And infant mortality declined
Anyways, I'm gonna pop back out because dog-pile style of debate is shitty
@Asdrubal post hoc ergo propter hoc
That's what you're doing
Just say post hoc dude
