Who was a retard

2019-11-02 20:23:42 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:24:46 UTC  

Just saying

2019-11-02 20:25:08 UTC  

Exploiting farmers and building roads to make exploitation more efficient

2019-11-02 20:25:12 UTC  

Isnt development

2019-11-02 20:25:19 UTC  

so far weve had correlation = causation

2019-11-02 20:26:10 UTC  

also the average iq of indians is like at max 88

2019-11-02 20:26:33 UTC  

the elite portion that come to the west are not representative

2019-11-02 20:26:37 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:26:55 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:27:33 UTC  

The first Indian institutes of technology was established post independence

2019-11-02 20:27:38 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:27:48 UTC  

This was established post independence

2019-11-02 20:27:51 UTC  

ok

2019-11-02 20:27:54 UTC  

so?

2019-11-02 20:28:07 UTC  

An educational revolution took place post independence

2019-11-02 20:28:14 UTC  

Which would have never occurred

2019-11-02 20:28:17 UTC  

Under the raj

2019-11-02 20:28:31 UTC  

how do you figure?

2019-11-02 20:28:42 UTC  

seems like historical determinism

2019-11-02 20:28:49 UTC  

which is dumb and wrong

2019-11-02 20:28:58 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:29:15 UTC  

correlation does not = causation

2019-11-02 20:30:04 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:31:10 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:31:33 UTC  

About the literacy rate being 16%?

2019-11-02 20:31:51 UTC  

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

2019-11-02 20:31:53 UTC  

Bro these rates you're using were improved globally Chief

2019-11-02 20:32:01 UTC  

Global literacy rates improved

2019-11-02 20:32:04 UTC  

about basically every stat you posted

2019-11-02 20:32:06 UTC  

Global income improved

2019-11-02 20:32:14 UTC  

So did global life expectancy

2019-11-02 20:32:22 UTC  

And infant mortality declined

2019-11-02 20:32:24 UTC  

Anyways, I'm gonna pop back out because dog-pile style of debate is shitty

2019-11-02 20:32:44 UTC  

@Asdrubal post hoc ergo propter hoc

2019-11-02 20:32:57 UTC  

That's what you're doing

2019-11-02 20:33:01 UTC  

Just say post hoc dude
