Western sources continually fail to recognise British genocide in India

India / Pakistan
This report just makes me pretty annoyed!
Written by an American reporter, supposedly to teach Americans about the British involvement in the near civil war that started in India during partition, it practically blames the Indians themselves for what happened.
The truth is the British hastily drew up maps to partition India, not only to create Pakistan but also Bangladesh, and these maps were not accepted by the Muslims and Hindus, hence why there are ongoing deaths in places like Kashmir.
The British were responsible for the murder of “millions” of Indians (the exact number is not known – the British state reduced numbers, the Indians state increased numbers), and their occupation was at times extremely brutal. The idea of swapping spices and tea for cricket and railways is nothing more than glossing over the genocide – and it WAS genocide – that the British were responsible for in India.
That’s why this kind of nonsense report makes me so livid. I have nothing more to say. I better go and do something else!
