there is claims this empire, after having defeated the Mughals but prior to british invasions, was the richest and most powerful in the world. How true could this be?
Indian academics suggest that this nation was on the cusp of industrialising, but british took the plans and began it in england first.

>empire with a future on the rise
>kicked muslims out of India after years of mass raids and oppression from mugals
>highest population in world, economy rivalling imperial china

just imagine, you wer eon the cusp of your greatest era since the Maurya empire, and then shit-toothed english showed up on your flank and sucker punched you and proceede to spend 200 years taking all of your wealth, effectively enslaving your people, rapeing the women and humiliating a proud rising country.
why the fuck should indians not be furious at this? let me explain, India fought ZERO wars vs europe ever, in fact only ever had Indian helped europe. During wars between Islam empire and byzantium empire, many Indian kings had launched attacks on flank with greek cooperation to secure solidarity vs islam. Europe back stabbed us when they had common enemy (islam). Now eurpe has fvcked up the india permenently, and then suicided itself by underestimatng muslim savagery.
do never forget, when thousands of muslims attacked france and greece, millions fought in India and were slowly repulsed. Indians were betrayed by europeans and cant be forgiven for it
