What can you say about the Sikhs? Their role in today's India? Their strong and weak sides as a community?Britain gave you life, modern country, ports, REAL medicine, schools, army , etc. without them you´d suck Muslim dick even today, my guess 50-60% of you were Muslims today etc. so my Indian friend its time for you to start to love Britain, Portugal, France etc,Shame on Britain!

There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India - as horrible as it may have been - was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long - the story goes - was a gesture of Britain's benevolence.
New research by the renowned economist Utsa Patnaik - just published by Columbia University Press - deals a crushing blow to this narrative. Drawing on nearly two centuries of detailed data on tax and trade, Patnaik calculated that Britain drained a total of nearly $45 trillion from India during the period 1765 to 1938.
It's a staggering sum. For perspective, $45 trillion is 17 times more than the total annual gross domestic product of the United Kingdom today.
How did this come about?

India's GDP was the highest at the time British first started to steal/rob resources from India. Europeans particularly Brits were nothing but marauders at that time. Also if you brush up your history, you would learn that major fights took place between Hindus and Brits not between Muslims and Brits. Muslims were brought under control by Hindus in the West and in the South long before Brits came to India. North India was the only place Muslims had some hold on and that was dismantled by Sikhs just before the arrival of Brits.
As far as ship building is concerned, Indians were building ships long before there was a country called Britain. Jews who were fleeing rape and murder from Romans, escaped to India on Indian merchant ships that used to sail to Roman provinces on trade missions.
Nalanda University was built by Indians more than thousand years ago - once again long before there was a country called Britain. The language you are writing in is an offshoot of Sanskrit - an Indian language. First comprehensive medical system Ayurveda was practiced in India not in Britain.
