How British colonialism killed 100 million Indians in 40 years

The extraordinary mortality rates in India between 1880 to 1920 were no accident.

This is an al Jazeera article on how the British murdered over 100 million people in India, from 1880 to 1920.
And to me that is who NATO really are, the monsters who deliberately keep starting wars, like WWI, and massacring civilians, like we did with Shock and Awe.

How British colonialism killed 100 million Indians in 40 years​

Between 1880 to 1920, British colonial policies in India claimed more lives than all famines in the Soviet Union, Maoist China and North Korea combined.

Recent years have seen a resurgence in nostalgia for the British empire. High-profile books such as Niall Ferguson’s Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World, and Bruce Gilley’s The Last Imperialist, have claimed that British colonialism brought prosperity and development to India and other colonies. Two years ago, a YouGov poll found that 32 percent of people in Britain are actively proud of the nation’s colonial history.

This rosy picture of colonialism conflicts dramatically with the historical record. According to research by the economic historian Robert C Allen, extreme poverty in India increased under British rule, from 23 percent in 1810 to more than 50 percent in the mid-20th century. Real wages declined during the British colonial period, reaching a nadir in the 19th century, while famines became more frequent and more deadly. Far from benefitting the Indian people, colonialism was a human tragedy with few parallels in recorded history.

We need to stop pretending that NATO and all colonial imperialists are the "good guy". We aren't.

We should also recognize the connection between colonialism and fascism:

British empire killed 165 million Indians in 40 years: How colonialism inspired fascism | MR Online

"British colonialism caused at least 100 million deaths in India in roughly 40 years, according to an academic study.

"And during nearly 200 years of colonialism, the British empire stole at least $45 trillion in wealth from India, a prominent economist has calculated.

"The genocidal crimes committed by European empires outside of their borders inspired Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, leading to the rise of fascist regimes that carried out similar genocidal crimes within their borders."

thanks for the utter stupidity----first page of any simple text of logic ---
CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION----does al Jazeera have anything
to say about the genocide of the hindus of East Bengal by Islamic
West Pakistan. uhm----NATO is London?

 

[DudleySmith]

this sounds like another totally bogus left wing hate mongering story

It's about thugs like Putin sniveling about why all his neighbors want to join NATO for some reason his fans never want to explain. They demonize NATO for no reason other than they will get in Putin's way over his big plan to restore the Russian empire. They never had any qualms about putting armies and missiles on the borders of Europe but we're supposed to feel bad about doing that with allies or something. They're just stupid and their 'logic' is rubbish.

Cowardly, greedy jackals prefer to join a strong gang. These are all the reasons.

They all criminals. Everywhere.
But today russian criminals are Sherwood forest robbers, and Western criminals are a gang of bloody maniacs led by Chikatilo.
All the difference.

Nowhere does OP mention that our gentle and thoughtful cull led to the development of efficient tea plantations and the wider appreciation of Cricket -- two of mankind's greatest inventions

Still living twenty years in the past and spoon fed by the rotten MSM .

If the Brits killed so many Indians, why is India's population a hundred or more times what it was before the East India Company took control? I'll give you a hint, the Brits brought sanitation and "modern" (for the eighteen and nineteen hundreds) medicine to India cutting infant mortality and disease to a small fraction of what it was before. Unfortunately, the Indians kept having tons of kids resulting in overpopulation and famines.
