Was British Rule good for India?

Well, It seems, again we are forgetting the basics of a thing called as “SELF-ESTEEM”……………………
Let me put some highlights of our glorious past……. And I am NOT USING ANY internet links or web references because the information on net is not relevant, so lets cut out the net references away… I am writing what is well known to all...

1. Well, Indus Valley civilization is one of the finest civilizations ever.
2. The ancient Vedic system was a very scientifically developed system, with a very scientific approach towards different aspects of life (Some examples are Yoga, Ayurveda, and lots more… find on the internet how the west is following this for a better life style and high quality life)
3. Well so many great monuments. like Taj mahal, Kutub minar, hundreds of forts and other beautifully architected structures were made before the British came to India.
4. May it be any field viz. art, literature, philosophy, mathematics we always had geniuses, there is not just one CV Raman (There are at least a dozen of Indian scientists who despite in a place where there was no exposure ,had made their names in History (Aryabhatta, Ramanujan, Kalidas, Ravindranath Tagore and many more).
Before saying anything... Always remember... Press was controlled by West and History is always written by winners… So we can’t judge upon history which is been manipulated by butchers or so called winners.

5. I can keep on writing ….. But what’s the point …. Because Past is GONE and what lies ahead is future and our Present is very Bad, say real bad as compared to west... and I am NOT at all blaming British Rule or any west country for our condition today…..

It is up to us on how we treat ourselves and make our future... But one thing is for sure.. If we keep on feeling that we are “children of a lesser God”... we might not ever be able to come up...
And also if we keep on cribbing about our glorious past and saying some foreigners did something to us…. We will remain at the same place where we are today….

The important thing is: “Let go of the past and make a better today for a beautiful future”

And never say what the British did, was good to us…

They might have made Railways, but only to put as in chains properly, they gave us Democracy, Yes and taught us how to rule... is this not what all our political leaders doing today? Dividing the country on the basis of cast, religion and region for Votes….Congratulations Once again Thanks to the British ”divide and rule policy“.

They might have given us beaurocracy, but mind you corruption is a free gift which we got with it (Yes one of our biggest problems today is British culture inherited)


So who ever says British was good is just following the same old inferior feeling cultivated in us for hundreds of years just to Rule us… If we don’t rinse this out of us today, we will continue to be ruled, yesterday by the British today and today by some other... THE FAULT LIES in us, not in any foreign rulers… Because we had let them rule upon us and again letting them rule.

Don’t forget the pain and suffering of 200 years, the farmers forced to grow opium, the people treated as dogs, all the money going to the Queen,( A common sense question: why should a foreigner will come to thousands of miles to do social service. If there was no money and the condition was that bad, why will Queen would spend her so much time and Armies and everything...)
Don’t put a shame on all the sacrifices made by millions... Don’t ever forget Jaliyawala baag’s thousands of victims...
Don’t ever make our future generation feel that millions died just in Vain!!!!!!

So lets wake up and not be ruled by any one and give our future generations a chance to say, “the Economic slavery for India in post Independent era was good for us”..

Yu to raha hai sadiyoon so dushman sara jaha hamara,
par baat kuch hai ki mitta nahi fir bhi namoo nishaan hamara.

Jai Hind
Anirudh
