The image we get is that of a good administrator and a crusader figure against social evils. I am sorry that he met with an accident at the height of his political career. Hope he can continue to be as active as he has been and wish him goodluck as an individual in his noble pursuits.
You will be the King in Chhatisgarh Forest and live with tigers. The tigers will get afraid of you since you are bearing a dangerious character more than innocent tigers who are being shot by BJP ministers.
Yes British did so many things for which we should be grateful. At the same time should we forget They brought education just enough to create cheap native labour(bureaucrats) to run their government. Created infrastructure to facilitate their army movements. Started a few industries to exploit the wealth of this country. Hung so many patriots. If you visit Andaman & see the gallows made to hang Indian freedom fighters. Looted the wealth of this Country. Killed a number of innocents in Jalianwala Baugg. Please visit once & tell your blood does not boil by seeing the marks made by bullets on the walls. Jailed the people like Tilak, Gandhi, Subhaschandra, Nehru & many more. Due to their ruthless beating Lala Lajpatrai lost the life.
1. Killings by Mxlims reduced from 1 million to 1000 a year.
2. British medicine also reduced death rate.
3. As result of Pts 1 and 2, population started increasing. They created a vigorous economic activity, whereas earlier jobs were limited to joining Mxlim army where all higher jobs were held my Mxlims.
4. British gave equitable justice system, whereas earlier law was based on Sharia--where only Mxlims enjoyed rights.
5. People could get govt jobs based on their merit, not based on religion.
6. British did carry away a big profit, but they also created enough economic activity for the locals live and flourish.
BRITISH RULE WAS THE GOLDEN ERA IN THE INDIAN HISTORY!
1. British, ending barbaric rule of Mozlems (who killed 600 mil & raped 600 mil HHIndus over 1200 yrs), liberated HHindus from 1200-yr subjugation, gave HHindus religious freedom and prevented India from becoming Barbaric Islamic Republic. 2. British united 550 princely states fighting internecine wars, into a single entity. British ended the menace 1000s of murderous robbers (thugs) in north India. 3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, gave equitable Justice system, modern education system opening universities, etc which rapidly improved the living & intellectual standards of common people. British modern medical services reduced death rate and increased life-span. 4. English language helped India to become a global tech & educational power, in spite of some shortcomings. 5. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system, superstitions, ignorance, etc strongly rooted in Indian psyche, though remnants remain. 6. No doubt Hinduism is the most secular, literature-rich religion, but Indian culture develops idiotic mentality and Indians live in constant delusion—believing ancient Indian literature has all sci & tech; in 2000 BC, 90% were literate & rich; Indian economy 27% of world economy in 1700, etc. These are all lies invented by scoundrels to fool Indians. Before the British, Indians were living in more pathetic conditions. INDIANS SHOULD DEVELOP PRAGMATIC THINKING
