1. Why was the symbol of Indian independence the spinning wheel?
2. Why were Indian goods (specifically textiles) banned in Europe from the 18th century?
3. Why did India - "the jewel in the crown of the empire" go from a net exporter to a net importer under the raj?
4. Why did Victoria have 'empress of India' specifically in her title, why was that something to be proud of?
5. Why did factory workers turn out to shout at Ghandi about losing their jobs when he visited England as the figurehead for independence?
6. Why did indian life expectancy start going up only after 1950?
7. Why does /pol/ ignore all of this information and switch directly to poo jokes whenever india is mentioned?
