Anon, the entire video is idiotic. It is filled with bullshit quotes and platitudes by opposition leaders of political parties in Britain. It has no sources and does not make any sense. It insists on nonsense:
>like the indians having super ships, even though their technology never even reached the 1400s portuguese caravel, and there is zero (0) cultural impact of indian trade. Rather, there is plenty of trade of foreigners navigating to India for spice trade, which happens to grow naturally from indian soil so indians can't fuck it up
>so they were ALWAYS commodity sporters in the trade routes, they were never skilled in metallurgy, manufactury, or anything
>theirs was a rural semi-feudal shithole with an immense population but zero social cohesion and zero capacity for war that was regularly conquered by tiny mountain tribes from abroad and never managed to expand from their home
Nothing in this video is true. It is bullshit from beginning to end, with maybe an exception being the fact that the british indeed starved India. But even that lacks the proper context, which was the world wars.
As Niall Ferguson (the most skilled apologist historian for british colonialism) puts it, if the British has not protected their colonies from Japan, which wanted India, there is zero doubt the Japanese would have promoted a genocide in a never before seen scale in the history of mankind.
He argues that the British had no economic benefit to sticking with their colonies against Japan, and if they warred with Japan, it protected their foreign servants from a demonic genocidal true evil empire that to this day does not feel any shame for commiting atrocity.
A two minutes talk with a japanese reveal they are not good people to those beneath them. Their only regrets in China and Korea is that they didn't kill enough.
