- How did the UK and US Steal Diego Garcia Island? | Flashback with Palki Sharma
In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States and the United Kingdom stole an island located in the Indian Ocean. They emptied the island of its local population and converted it into a military base in the middle of the ocean. That island is called Diego Garcia. Once frequented by Indian and Arab sailors, the discovery of this island by Europeans led to rapid developments that would shape its future. From colonisation to expulsion to occupation, this is the story of an injustice that is yet to be addressed. How did the UK and the US take control of this strategically important island? Who is the rightful owner of this land? And what happened to the locals who once lived there? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.

Do you think Diego Garcia should be returned to the Mauritius? Comment below and join the conversation.
Palki please make a video on American Dollar n how America makes sure it’s not challenged.
Also Iraq war n how they were looking for weapons of mass destruction.
Never
What you should be asking is: who's going to make the thieves return Diego Garcia?
Off course, yes.
And these people talk about human rights and justice.
And the irony is these western countries now give lectures on Human rights to other countries.......
[MY NEW POSTS ARE BEING BLOCKED.] No, the irony is that communist countries have people believing that they would be as advanced and wealthy today, had Western nations not established and defended global trade routes. But don't worry, that system is now collapsing, so the old mayhem is returning.
@@savedbygrace2397What nonsense is this to justify colonial pirating activities ...
It's nothing ironic, without western human rights, you wouldn't stay at the computer right now filosofizing about how hard life is, you would've been a baby slave bating tigers ,for your Maharaja to hunt, for his personal amusement!
@tkh2944 , if those countries don't like Western civilization, why don't they go back to living like their ancestors did before they met Westerners?
@@tkh2944 , they can go back to living like their ancestors did before meeting Westerners. Leave our modern world beind.
An eye opening coverage ! How two habitual offenders stole the peoples land
Does this mean India is going to give up the Andaman and Nicobar islands? ; )
@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rp From where does this comes up ? 😅
As far as I know, Tribal ppl of A& N are still living there and on some islands no outsiders are allowed because of some tribes like Sentinelese.
@@user-ns6kv7mk3m Seems India has a different attitude to land grabs when it's India which benefits from it... ; )

Thank you for sharing this story. The Colonizers have no shame and there is no limit to their evil doings.
True! The Indian government should go home, and let the Andamanese and Nicobarians to run independent their islands !

Yes, I believe Diego Garcia should be returned to its rightful owner. Thank you Palki Sharma for a lesson in History and Geography 🙏🙏
The world needs to unite and rid themselves of these thieves so call world power.
They will have no ability to sustain themselves..if they don’t receive any foreign aid they can have it. See how long that lasts..
Yes, that would be the Portuguese! Diego Garcia family would be very pleased to hear about your support !
Portugal cheers.
the entire territory of USA is stolen.
you think USA will return any of that land?
If an American or an European come across any island for the first time, (only for them) even if it’s already inhabited, still it’s a ‘discovery’!!! Like the rest of us are anybody but humans 😅
yeah ..i was going to say the same 👍
Same Story a British guy went to kenya 🇰🇪 and Local People helped him to carry and to show where Mount Kilimanjaro Located and they showed and right now he is The Man who Discovered The Moun Kilimanjaro 😂
They should be grateful plus have no problem accepting foreign aid and money! They should appreciate what they have otherwise they’d still be eating other people and living in huts
It's not just Europeans who have done that. I guess you have never heard of the Huns, the Goths or the Mongols. They were pretty good at taking land from other people. Very few people on land today are the original population that lived there.
It was because the Christian Church's doctrine of discovery. The land belongs to the first Christian who lays his eyes on it.
At Least someone raised their voice for us "Mauritian" thank you❤
For Maldivians too.
Mauritius was a European founded nation that was given to the people moved there by Europeans from India and Africa.
@@A190xxEuropeans never themselves found any new land, but they occupied them illegally. Your history books are filled with lies. I think you're still in colonial hangover.
In the ocean of crime, this is the mother of all evil.
There were lots of vicious empires before the British Empire. But the sun set on all the others.
Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine
yes, and made a movie a few years back depicting the greatness of Winston Churchill.
In 1772 also
Never ever apologized for their genocides
Is प्वाइंट को हमको हमेशा बताते रहना चाहिए।
Yes indeed Churchill the Alcoholic (functioning Alcoholic) was responsible for it.
But about Diego Garcia, Palki is acting like a “Ms Simpleton”…if it were returned today back to Mauritius, within weeks or a year there would be a China base there - is that a better option!
Slow news day Palki…need to make a video of something out of nothing uh.😮
Mauritian guy here. We will take it back!
lol, good luck with that! You’ll need it. 😂
Full solidarity to you
@sam123sderIndia will support them
You're Indian you're not Mauritian. Mauritius is an African Island. You just live there.
HOw? What do you expect - you will ask them & they will leave. Not their history.
Donating disease infested blankets, conversion, artificial famines, and then open war, they use everything. And now they have bio-weapons too. What do you have? (Answer below).
Advance tech (weapons) win wars, not bravery alone.
Only thing you can do is, pray to God.
But then, prayer is the most advanced tech in the cosmos.
Everything else follows.
Resources will pile up, tech will emerge, bravery will be re-infused, and the desire to get back your land will be re-kindled in the masses; *for some reason or the other.*
If there is prayer, cause has to emerge.
Why aint i surprised? Nothing good ever came out of British and US working together
Yeah only the computer, internet and World Wide Web you're whining on now ; )
@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rpit’s the question of what if???? Most of the country were colonised so how can you expect they are running in same race if your leg has been shot by colonisers..food and resources been stolen….For eg japan only Asian country which was not colonised and they invented many things but they were also once colonisers

I am not even surprised anymore. It seems par for course for west. All this outrage for Taiwan and not a peep for Tibet. Even in their enmity they are duplicitious. Let alone when its their own interest.
How did India obtain the Andaman and Nicobar islands? ; )
I suspect Palki's report is in response to the concerns which have been raised about the building of a new "Hong Kong" on Nicobar... Those highly principled Indians facing a blind spot in their principles. Again ; )

@sam123sder Ok but India could give up those islands which historically never belonged to them... Nothing stopping you
$45 Trillion was taken from India by Britain over 200 years of rule
Thats a fact concocted and cooked up by Sashi Taroor and Phalki Sharma. India was never that rich. And in fact India was never a United country. Most of the money looted by the British was bought back by 550 Indian Maharajahs who were licking the bu££s of the British. Also more than $45c Trillion is looted by Indian poliicians and invested in foreign countries. What about that?
Arre Bhai bhot ho gya
Pura eu bik jayega tu chup hoja😂
@@jkskh India shared 20% of global trade back then before british and much more before mughals now after 75 odd years of progress only 4 trillion dollar economy with 3% of global trade then do math
How were the figures calculated ?
While pappans and pappatheas were under balling British, Is that the value of 45 trillion loads of cowdung?
As a Mauritian I was not aware of the depths of our past history..my deepest appreciation to you dear lady palki... With all my respect to you. ❤
why it isnt really true.
And you will not learn any more from Palki as she deliberately lies. These islands were uninhabited so settled fair and square by Europeans and NOT forcibly acquired. It was Europeans who moved Indians to the islands.
All said here is true.. In addition to this people were force to leave the island.. Home was destroyed... Pet dogs were beheaded or made to them breath smoke of cars
Same west that teach morals but history and posterity will always remember these atrocities and inhumane actions
Thank you, Palki for bringing up this report, from Mauritius. Every major power wants to take the archipelago but legally and in reality it belongs to Mauritius. This is like what the US did to the native tribes in America.
Does this mean India is going to give up the Andaman and Nicobar islands? ; )
@OnlineEnglish-wl5rp It's not the same as Diego Garcia. This island chain belongs to Mauritius. Andoman and Nicobar belong to India.
Alexa Where is Andaman & Nicobar Island? INDIAN ocean@@OnlineEnglish-wl5rp
@@rakeshs6239 How did India acquire said islands? ; )
Bot...ugh
An island of western shame! Great report!
Why isn't the whole world crying about it? When it's about Palestine the world shed tears but when it is about some minority is just insignificant enough to have the whole world rally to their cause???
You expect liberals to be non hypocrites 😅
As a Palestinian, I feel same feelings
Diego Garcia doesn't have OIL. That's why no one cares.
Maybe most of the people don't know about this land grab. It did not have any media coverage, also they are not bombing it and killing thousands like in gaza, so i think people are unaware of this. Comparing it with palestine is not appropriate i think. Btw, these colonisers still have colonies in africa and it's 2024! Can you imagine their hypocrisy? They teach us about human rights whereas they kill millions every year around the globe and colonize other's land.

India never kiked any Andamanese out of their own home ,like UK did with those people. Even sentinalese respectfully live alone in their island and nobody ever disturbs them .
@@pritsingh9766 So why is Palki making this film? She's doing it because India is being criticised over its plans for Nicobar which will severely impact the indigenous people there
But heaven forbid Indians should ever be criticised. It does make me laugh how defensive you all get. We are smeared and defamed day in day out on the internet and it's been like that for 20 years. But when you get a little bit of teasing, oh you can't take it
US and UK wants that strategic base to keep a watch on India being nearby yet outside and independent of Indian government
Look at these father of democracy USA and UK
NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF DIEGO GARICA TRULY SHAMEFUL STAIN ON MY COUNTRYS REPUTATION
Ohhh u havent even scratched the surface..
That is because it is disingenuous. The islands and Mauritius were first settled by the Portuguese, so they are technically the indigenous people.
@@A190xx Chagos islands were used by traders from South India, Arabia and Africa for centuries.
If you really want to know what is going on in Diego Garcia, you should listen to Tony Rodrigues.

It has alien UFO connection. it goes dark and deep.
no way USA will give up Diego Garcia. USA can't. it's not upto USA.

Interesting to learn about this island. Thank you for this post. And yes I do think the island should return but find it strange that after so many years and court rulings nothing is done and no sanctions are given
Now you all know the real criminals.

True bro.
There are plenty of pale face gringos and Anglo-Saxon bots too 😂
But anytime India achieves anything, even if has nothing to do with China, they have to rear their heads, and give us the benefit of their profound wisdom. And when there is a China connection, they cannot debate or argue, they just become vicious demagogues.
Being a huge fan of Palki, I feel uncomfortable to object, though. Truth has to be told. I was never a Roman catholic or never will be. It's only Catholic. Thanks
Palki gets an awful lot wrong, she is lazy and doesnt fact check her articles unfortunately, Firstpost has improved without her
Catholics supported slavery and colonization!!!
Definitely must be true for you, but a whole lot of Western literature on Roman Catholicism does exist.

why? it should be given to Maldives
Why? Mauritius was first settled by Europeans, who moved people to the islands. The current Mauritians are technically the colonisers, albeit Britain willingly gave them independence, even though it was never their country.

India unleashed its terrorism in Sri Lanka, your country was harbouring terrorists, majority of them were Hindus, it was China who helped defeat the Indian sponsored terrorist in Sri Lanka. Stop stealing Sri Lanka's marine resources which is estimated to be $8-9 billion annually. Sri Lanka owes you nothing, your national security is your concern but be thankful Sri Lanka has even after its bitter experiences still didn't compromise Indian national security. If Sri Lanka wanted it could have given the entire Trincomalee harbour to the US in the late 70's where India was America's number two enemy.

Good historical analysis, right up until the end. As an Indian commentator, she had to somehow do intellectual back-flips and try to 'blame China' for the present situation.
I mean Chinese actions do warrant a mention lol. Look at them doing to Phillipines and began somehow to build islands close to Maldives. China deserves a mention for sure, idk how you can turn a blind eye to their hawkish nature.
@@anantthakur7166 Yes, what is happening with the Philippines? They intentionally beached an old World War II era ship on a reef and claimed it as part of the Philippines. Then they promised China repeatedly that they would get rid of it, and now they keep trying to ship construction materials to the ship to make a more permanent base there. I wonder if India would be okay if China did something similar in the Indian Ocean?
Also, China isn't building island close to the Maldives and the Indian Ocean is an international waterway and doesn't belong to India.
If all you can do is discuss nonsense, then it would seem that it is you who has a "hawkish nature".
