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

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

No

Wew

Again that can be shown by mass communication technology developed during that time

That is the gap between female and male literacy @Calzilla

Yup

why do people want to hate the empire so much?
is it just racism?

anti anglo sentiment is damaging

Because the empire was horrible

It was bad bro

Mercantilism
