I have to hand it to Victorian Era Britian . They took care of business in India. When Britian decided that suttee would no longer be practiced, the British commanders started hanging the village leaders who forced women to immolate.
But that was nothing compared to the way the British hunted and killed the thugees to the last one.
The British don't even make British like that anymore.
It's all about catering to the whims of the elite Capitalists, yesterday plundering India lead to mega-profits, just like today bringing in cheap labor for mega-profits.
The British elite just care about profits, while the British masses just care about fitting into societal norms.
This is the norm all across Western European societies, but not in Eastern European societies.
It's truly a Western European sickness.
