A country destroyed by sanctions. The United States is the sole reason Venezuela cant sell its oil.

Socialist fantasies resulted in massive bureaucracy which led to massive corruption, which of course discouraged industries to set up shop, until the IMF forced India to liberalism or face default, India was stuck with big govt handling everything, and because of this never industrialized to the level that it has to, that's why the big job generating manufacturing sector is lacking and India jumped from Agrarian to Service industry.

Y ya lo ve Y ya lo veeee El que no salta es un inglés

India today would not be unified. Think Pakistan, except carve up India into 3 more Pakistans, all not getting along with each other.

Looking for who to blame for your own failures

High population , lack of innovation , lack of education , too much religion without common sense !!

It’s not 100% look a like. Therefore,you can’t call it a copy. Patents has certain limits

India was very divided even before the British arrived. The reason why several conquests and empires ruled was because of that. As much as the British did damage, there was a lot of harm and self sabotage induced by the caste system itself. In fact, the British couldn't comprehend this hierarchical system and the upper caste always sided with the British just so they could retain their statuses. After independence, these upper castles immediately took over the power vacuum. India has 23 official languages and not Hindi alone, with English being the link language to communicate amongst the several states. The statement "English is the colonizer's language" is now a very nice propaganda to impose Hindi amongst all states just so they can easily spread their parasitic backward thinking ideologies into the Indian's mind, in the name of patriotism. Even today, the caste system is hiding behind the shadows and the reason why one would see a vast difference in the development between the northern and southern states of India.

heh... why do I think of Monty Python... "What did the Romans ever do for us?", "well, the rule of law..."

If choice on past history is given to modern Indian people, do you think that they will choose British colonial age over backward local tyrants as alternate history? No, I don't think so. Indian people will prefer history like uncolonized Thailand to colonial Indian historty.

Masterclass in cherry-picking data and details! Why yo kings wear our diamonds on deir neutral (apparently not power crazed) heads maan?

The British developed railways not to benefit indian economy.rather they built it move goods from one place to another.simply bcz they could benefit from it.moving cheap goods for themselves which was by the way possible as they exploited poor Indian people.many boundary related problems we face now are gift of British raj.and ofcourse we have our deficiencies for which we are still poor.but what British did was blatant looting of this country off every penny.but we have moved on.india is on the way up and will keep going up for foreseeable future

The British (Christians) came to India one of the Richest country in the world accounting 27% of Global GDP in 1700's , 23% in 1800's & Over 200 years of Depredation , Exploitation , Loot & Destruction reduced it to a Posterchild of a Third World Poverty. 90% of population living below the Poverty line when British left in 1947,Literacy Rate is below 17%,Life Expectancy is 27%,Economy is 25 billion dollars,Growth rate from1900- 1945 is 0.001%,British India draining the country with Taxes& Resources over 200 year's of colonization. India faced 50 year's of sanctions indirectly and directly in last 75 years

Tell me you are a british trying to justify his actions without saying it: Btw, the next video should be "how the British museum saved the Art taking some souvenirs from all over the countries they visited for holidays"

India was a set of small kingdoms before the British came and because of this and the weakening Mughals, it was easier for the Britishers to conquer the entire subcontinent. So in some ways it was the British who helped create the India that we know today. But there is no doubt that everything they did was for their benefit even the rail network was made for the Britishers to move the goods faster and to make even greater profit from India at the cost to Indian taxpayers. What I think is that if the Britishers had never landed in India, there would have been many small states in India among which some would have been greatly developed whereas there would have been other few underdeveloped states. Overall I am pretty sure that India would have been in much better condition if the Britishers never conquered India.

Indian farmers were taxed upto 80%. Ref Dr Shashi Tharoor's Inglorious India. $45T was looted as per Dr Utsa Patnaik.

never go to that country in my whole life , a total chaos

Religion that’s why and when you have no line between church,state, and personal interest, breeds a cycle where bad people can use it’s failing as an outlet for conquest, it’s that simple.

Check out the economic condition of Britain after the end of colonialism. After 75 years, Britain is crumbling, brick by brick.

Would India be one country today had the British not colonised it ?

Fun fact... i dia owns 50% of british stuff like cars... the other 50% of british stuff is owned by others like russians, israel, usa, iteland... maybe 10% of british stuff is owned by british... 😂

Ahhh, yes ... the excuse #1 if things don't work as hoped: the bad west and 'imperialism'.

Very misinformed video. The British were ultimately the worst thing that happened to India in the last couple centuries.

Westerners have losted their mind ...... you can't stop a nation of people that can build their own space station..... the Chinese are rising because they don't waste trillions on losing War , they invest on R&D and business.......who can build their own space station today ?????

5 Reasons why India is grappling with Poverty:- 1. Uncontrolled population explosion since poor people are too adamant to produce less than 3 kids 2. Very Slow pace of job creation taking place in both government offices and privately owned corporates 3.Stealing of monetary benefits (that are supposed to reach the poor) by politicians who make big promises during election campaigns 4. Uncontrolled inflation 5. Caste Based reservation where politicians relatives steal a lot of jobs reserved poor people from minority communities

British looted 45 Trillion dollars from India & not some 100Million as the video suggests. Please check your info

because they are fanatics that do not care about humanity , religious rethoric that do not care about no one or anything, not even for the people that believe in it, in order to flourish financially, freedom and creativity is a necessity

Just unsuscribed for this half baked video. Do your research before making a video.

Westerners should stick to topics they understand, like the Kardashians

Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine

It was their extreme protectionism that kept them poor. Still does to some extent. They bought into the “More domestic equals more gooder” narrative.

China suffered no lies in the hands of Western imperialism and in WW2 was devastated by the Japanese and again the civil war and cultural revolution.. yet it came out way way ahead of India.

India may be rich for the 10% because the culture of slavery, outdated societal rules like dowry, super low him rights for women and the not uncommon feminicides makes it impossible for the 90% to rise. Plus the cost of life is so low that salariaries are dirt compared to europe and the health standards are not up to standard. The richness comes from the civilized areas of kolkata and chennai as they are modern but the other areas are either rural( north) or super touristy(coastal south) where the majority of people go in vacation. India benefits from its size, not from the power of its industries

No doubt about it, all about profiteering at the expense of countless people across the former empire 😑 You ask any brit today their views on the empire and you'll find plenty of remorse and negative views that outweigh the positive.

India needs Jews to create a successful economy

this can apply to any year. american tourists will save the day.

I think it's because of brain drain.

This is rapidly changing. Before the westerners/whites say "wE hAvE bEen hearing this forever about India", India only opened up in early 90s, and growth has been very high since then. Just that population growth rate was also high, which didn't correlate to per capita gdp growth. Now that India is below birth replacement rate, and growth rate of population is <0.7 (2022), per capita GDP will increase much faster. China also grew on average at 10% for 30-35 years, but the per capita gdp was still low till 2004-05, but then their population growth rate started going down (unnaturally), their per capita GDP increased drastically. India will see a similar rise, but the growth will be much longer, even if not as high as China since India didn't have the one-child policy.

Omg

There are so many false claims in this video and you clearly aren't an economic historian. If you were a historian of any sort, you'd know that India didn't exist until the 1940s, you are referring to South Asia, known as the Raj at the time (you seem to be referring to Kashmir, Pakistan and Bangladesh as India in this video, which would be extremely offensive to them. Secondly, the Raj DID NOT become poorer, it's GDP more than doubled which you have obviously deliberately omitted to say because clearly you're trying to make some sort of anti-colonial point. Thirdly, you cannot understand GDP per capita without looking at the life expectancy. Because of better infrastructure, much if not most was built by the British, and British medicine and education, people were living longer and their babies were surviving so the increased GDP was divided between more mouths (the same way that people are getting poorer now in the West despite the Western countries getting richer, as we're just not dying early enough for the economy). Fourthly, tax is not theft, and there is no more right for the Mughal invaders, or local elites to claim this tax than the British (many of whom were there by consent - most of the Raj supported or were neutral to British rule until the late Nineteenth century). Fifthly, the number of famines decreased under the British than its historical norm - yes there were some but you said yourself the area was prone to brutal famines. You hold the British to a higher standard than the rulers who lived there before or since, and the British were certainly more progressive and less cruel than the former leaders and created well over a hundred years of peace. Since the British left, South Asia has collapsed in wars and nuclear standards, the biggest refugee crisis in the world, and Bangledesh becoming just about the most dangerous country in the world. Corruption, socialism and autocracy has kept the country poor, millions have died in ethnic cleansing clashes between Muslims and Hindus and much of the infrastructure has gotten worse since the British left. Your video does attempt SOME balance, but clearly it's far from objective and shows a very limited understanding of the history of the time, the era that preceded it and the politics and economic situations of Pakistan, Bangladesh and India that followed it. The Taliban were trained in camps in Pakistan, which never would have happened under the British.

India couldn't make it because??????? Because it couldn't find ways and schemes to spend on education and research - couldn't technologically keep up with the times scientifically and generate revenue spinoffs by commercialization of the technology.

British caused the largest manmade famine in the world,which happen to be Bengal Femine in 1943, in which 3.8 million people died . British government exported most of India's food grain to European countries for hoarding for war purposes.

Despite UK enslaving India, today India already ahead of USA in space with its successful moon landing when neither USA or Russia could do it. Indian today is also controlling UK by placing Sunak to manage UK.

Yes , British did this to India, for Millennia India was World's largest economy, India was the land of Luxury, for Example Spices, Bengal textile, Indian Diamonds, and many more.

Really interesting, thank you. I have often wondered why India unlike many other ex-colonies of the British, remained poor for so long after colonial rule. I have heard ridiculous figures and statements banded around by Indian nationalists, and they still didn’t answer why it remained poor for so much longer than other nations which were colonised by Britain.

As Milton Freeman said the pain comes first and the good effects come later. Who knows?

Services sector is so broad and disparate it’s pointless as a category. Would be better to break down the economy industry by industry.

Wow awesome I'm unsubscribing, got to see the clear bias.

Socialist and Indians nationalists will hate this video 😂

Dude, trying soo hard to baptise the UK
