Brit owned (looted) India??? just like US owns Iraq now???LOL

• It is ridiculous to read that my British friends think that they owned India. Bloody hell, Robert clive an outcast of Britain mainland made use of internal rivalry of Indian kings. Indian kings were a bit stupid indeed they must have never thought a Brit could be so cunning. Britain started becoming richer sooner they conquered India, because it is from this place they used to get ship loads of Gold and other valuabel items. They build Trains, they build shipyards, roads and many things in India, so they could very easily loot the country. Its coz of a diversity that is existing in India, which was misused by English, were the Indian United from the very begining, Britain cud have been, infact most of the western world would have been still living in dark age. Aks why? each and every research here was funded during those times by the money made in India, indeed it was not possible otherway as it would have been possible long time ago in that case.(before Britain invaded India).. They not only fudned thier research but also research in other countrries such as Germany via their banks. So, in a way if you see most of the fundamental research, which is responsible for high tech stuff nowayds was fudned by Indian money. But, that was for good to certain extent(except nuclear bomb). Indeed, where would they go for money at that time, when they were living in a land which seriuolsy lacks natural resources. india was the only country , where everything was abundant. The ants go always where th food is, so i dont blame the brits for that. I dont even blame the brit for looting, as kind of life people in the west used to live was horrible and they had to do something to make it better and invading was one of the ways of doing it. But never ever think you owned India, you left coz you couldnt control it further, as your own country was wounded by WW II. And then if ever Brit has given something to India, India wouldnt have been so POOR when you left India. In just two centuries, English have changed the face of our country, from a golden bird to an hungry bird. Nevertheless, I wouldnt BLAME anybody here, becoz afterall its the TIME, which MAKES and DESTROYS,
