True, bharat took advantage of the few good things that the British left with us and became one of the biggest economics in the world while unfortunately Pakistan couldn't and now resemble an Asian version of Somalia
Well, congrats to England on the win, they deserved it and they were pretty in their last tours to Pak and sl, they have done well in the subcontinent.
100% Agreed. We were doing fine without their arrival. They leeched off as much as they could for centuries. Looting $48 trillion in wealth in total from the start to the end of their reign when they finally left.
Without the British conquest Ram Temple would still be Babri Masjid.
you got them there
True, so let all the colonies come back in, by plane, by boat whatever, loot and pillage this broke nation, scrape the barrel. It's fair game as the OP says.
This nation has been too stupid to realise it's standing 6feet deep in its own grave currently, let alone have any acumen left to understand history. 15 years of colossal errors starting with a banking bailout, decade of QE, Brexit, debt, Tory infighting..... the Vikings were more forgiving in comparison!
Land was owned by Jai Singh 2 from 1717,so with out british as soon as the time was ripe his descendants must have demolished.

Strike off the 'we' from your post. And no, we Indians don't owe the British anything for legally banning sati.While we can't deny that we bled India for it's wealth, it's wrong to deny we brought many good things to the subcontinent. The Mughals were the first overlords to try to ban sati, but it was the Brits who eventually enforced it.

By the way, the British sucked blood from generations upon generations of your ancestors as well.While we can't deny that we bled India for it's wealth, it's wrong to deny we brought many good things to the subcontinent. The Mughals were the first overlords to try to ban sati, but it was the Brits who eventually enforced it.

In fact, the Ram Mandir may have been built much before if the British conquest had not happened. The Mughal Empire was anyway breathing its last well before the British came.The Marathas or the Sikhs would have gained control over the subcontinent if the Europeans had not arrived.
And that would have doomed our country.
Thats unlikely. it had never been under united hindu or sikh rule and it seems unlikely given the events of the time that it would have happened.
It would have stopped anyways. No social evil remains in the society forever. And certainly not an outrageously evil one like sati.

Every society had its evils. Sati was practiced by Warrior caste when their woman get captured by enemies or about to get captured. To avoid being in the harem of the conqueror or sold as a sex slave in foreign markets. It was not mandatory. Every Hindu will be glad it was abolished under law first by British and now by Indian state.
Brits also have the credit to ban Sex slavery in Arabia and Slavery by Berbers in Africa and Europe.
Talking about abolition of the tradition. Raja Ram Mohan Roy made it almost extinct. BTW Mughals are not British Raj.During the early-modern Mughal period of 1526–1857, it was notably associated with elite Hindu Rajput clans in western India, marking one of the points of divergence between Hindu Rajputs and the Muslim Mughals, who banned the practice.

You brought Mughals into this topic. That is what the poster was trying to say.
You still brought Mughals into this topic while you whined about me bringing Arabs into this topic.
Go read what you were crying about. You asked the topic to be limited to British. But then brought up Mughals immediately opening the door for others to bring in other best accomplishments of British Crown. If you don't stick to what you preach, don't expect others to do it.
