How UK Media's 'Racist Rant' On Chandrayaan's Success Was Silenced By India's '$45 Trillion' Truth

- Western opinion shapers often have a mistaken sense of world history since they tend to look at it from the prism of a coloniser. They function under the belief that the colonial and imperialist rule greatly benefitted the colonised subjects... by offering them the fruits of industrial revolution and bringing them to "civilisation". But History is a witness, that has never been true for anybody.

As a Pakistani, I know that Indians never took anything from the UK. They did it on their own with as many resources as they could gather. In the end, it was a success for them. Now like always, Western powers are after them. I urge my Indian brothers not to give in....Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Thanks brother for this Oneness feel, hats off bro 😊

Yk it’s serious when a Pakistani agrees w/ an Indian.
Inshallah boys played well
Don't forget how the British caused the Madras famine, Bengal famine, Jallianwala bagh massacre, partition and so on. Let them answer for that.
And also the horrible atrocities on Indians in the 1857 war.
Indians have been dying from famines for 6000 years. So yes, lets blame the British for something that has been going on forever.
Maybe we should blame them for diarrhea, too!
Population control, the Brits did you a favour!! Indians clearly made up for all of those deaths by breeding so much! Your population doubled TWICE in the space of half a century, which is not only unsustainable but the root cause of so many of your current and future problems! Stop whining about the past, you're nothing but a hypocrite as you say and do nothing about the number of road deaths on India's roads every year, which over several decades has totalled far more than ever died in famines!
Don't forget that india had famines long before British came

Hey, the figure of 45 trillion dollars was calculated by a Marxist economist named UTSA Patnaik, using a flawed methodology of compounding the loot taken by the British with a 5% interest rate. This method is unrealistic. Additionally, Patnaik arrived at a figure of 9 trillion pounds using this flawed method, which was then converted to dollars by multiplying it with 4.68. You can find these details in her article. Furthermore, Patnaik made an exaggerated claim that the British killed 1.8 billion people in India, which is obviously false. It's puzzling that channels like Vice and Wion omitted her outrageous claim of genocide. Unfortunately, spreading lies and misinformation is not uncommon in India. For instance, some stories claim that the Vikramaditya Empire controlled 40% of the world's land, or that India had airplanes 7000 years ago during the Vedic period. These are clearly baseless claims. There is also a story that Shivakar Talpade invented the airplane 8 years before the Wright Brothers, but that the British stole his idea and gave it to the Wright Brothers. India needs to stop perpetuating such false claims.

India is a fellow capitalist country. Just as greedy as the UK and the rest.
@@jeanettewee8805 Even so, it is not a small number by any means. You could buy out the land of multiple countries with that
@@kaustubhgupta8356 I applied the same approach as used in the 45 trillion calculation to the investment done by British before 1850s. The estimate of 200 million pounds sterling as the total investment in infrastructure by the British government in India up to the mid-19th century is based on various historical records and estimates. It's worth noting that there is some degree of uncertainty around this figure due to a lack of comprehensive records from the period. That being said, one source that provides an estimate of the British investment in India's infrastructure is the book "The Economic History of India, 1857-1947" by Tirthankar Roy. According to the book, the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in Indian infrastructure up to the mid-19th century, including the construction of roads, canals, and railways. Another source that supports this estimate is a report by the Indian government's Planning Commission, titled "India's Five Year Plans: An Overview". The report mentions that the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in India's infrastructure up to the mid-19th century.Using compound interest formula A = P*(1+r/n)^(nt) putting
A= 0.2 billion pound, n = once per year (conservative!) and 0.05 interest (as per the India calculation and t=223 years
Putting into Microsoft Excel (other spreadsheets are available) tells me that:
10622.914 billion i.e 10 trillion sterling was invested in India which can be converted to dollar by multiplying with 4.68 as done by Patnaik which shows that British invested 46 trillion dollars in India. Now you might have understood how Patnaik lied about it. The way Patnaik calculated it is through a false method.

No. The railwats were made so they could keep a better eye on revolutionaries, roads were made so their carriages had an easier time and bungalows for their own officers.

False claims? Yeah 5% interest rate is too low. It must be more than 15%. Entire European civilization is standing on blood and hardwork of other countries. Their wealths which are enjoyed by the britons are made with blood and sweat of colonized people. These are not false claims. Even your economy will fall if it is 1 trillion. So enjoy you economy.

Congratulations India! Your tremendous achievements in space and on the Lunar surface are admirable.
So happy to see the indigenous stand up for themselves. Africa and Indian have been robbed of so much.
1.Most of the aid money was sent to Christian missionaries.
2.Wealth looted from India made up England to conquer and colonise many more nations.
3.Even if we waive the looted money, India can come up to such a position (through honest administration and optimum usage of remaining resources) to send aid money to Britain to overcome its poverty. Already our largest ever purchase of aircrafts has created job opportunity to thousands of English people. Jai Hind !
These European countries will fall soon ,just google the current situation of these countries after seeking refugees , though as a christian myself Jesus commands us to forgive even our enemies , but what these Britishers did to my country is truly unacceptable. 😢
Their own sins will consume them unless they repent .
Jai Hind
India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs.
They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. See also Sullvan and Hickel’s (2022) online AJ English article ‘How British Colonialism Killed 100 million Indians in 40 Years’. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years.
In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador Thomas Roe wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.
Thanks for the details in brief. However, they will soon be kneeling infront of India.
We are hard-working human beings willing to help even the enemies.
They just wanted to claim that chandrayaan 3 would not have been possible if they had not given the aid, in that way showing their true nature of snatching the success and achievement of India.
Befitting replies pouring in on social media is a mirror to their sins.
Let the uncivilized guy show the proof of their aid and also the mode and how it was sent. This will further expose their real agenda on aid. Seems our achievement is hurting them a lot.

Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador Thomas Roe wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.
No issue if Britain still wishes to show its Colonial muscles. But first pay up the Trillion Dollar loot bill in one lump sum. Nothing more nothing less.
Problem is that Britain is not able to digest any other country's success.

White people are shameless and have no conscience.
India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs.
They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. See also Sullvan and Hickel’s (2022) online AJ English article ‘How British Colonialism Killed 100 million Indians in 40 Years’. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years.
In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador Thomas Roe wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.

British 🇬🇧💂required Burnol ointment to keep their ass cool👍😎
When Official British Media can declare the claim, then INDIA must claim the whole amount with Interest what British Looted from India during their colonial era in India.
Hey, the figure of 45 trillion dollars was calculated by a Marxist economist named UTSA Patnaik, using a flawed methodology of compounding the loot taken by the British with a 5% interest rate. This method is unrealistic. Additionally, Patnaik arrived at a figure of 9 trillion pounds using this flawed method, which was then converted to dollars by multiplying it with 4.68. You can find these details in her article. Furthermore, Patnaik made an exaggerated claim that the British killed 1.8 billion people in India, which is obviously false. It's puzzling that channels like Vice and Wion omitted her outrageous claim of genocide. Unfortunately, spreading lies and misinformation is not uncommon in India. For instance, some stories claim that the Vikramaditya Empire controlled 40% of the world's land, or that India had airplanes 7000 years ago during the Vedic period. These are clearly baseless claims. There is also a story that Shivakar Talpade invented the airplane 8 years before the Wright Brothers, but that the British stole his idea and gave it to the Wright Brothers. India needs to stop perpetuating such false claims.
Media is not the government mate. The media can say what it wants, it doesn't represent government policy.

'Forgive, love, unite' is the only way forward. As an ex-pat Brit I can only apologize for the myopic attitude of the newscaster. If any UK aid was used for the moon landing, what a great use of that money!
They couldn't even find a man of their own origin to govern them.. How productive of them... Shashi Tharoor nailed them perfectly.
'We' actually could find someone of our own origin to govern us. Its just unelected globalist elites don't want us to be represented in our own country any more. We never elected the Indian who rules us. Its yet another example of why its irrelevant what happened 100 years ago. Our media wasn't talking about 100 years ago. They were talking about now. If you can land on the moon, you're no longer a poor oppressed nation. Remember, the UK hasn't landed on the moon. So you can no longer expect billions of our pounds. They're not yours. Sort your own country out yourself, the UK weren't the ones that gave you the caste system that keeps the majority poor.
I applied the same approach as used in the 45 trillion calculation to the investment done by British before 1850s. The estimate of 200 million pounds sterling as the total investment in infrastructure by the British government in India up to the mid-19th century is based on various historical records and estimates. It's worth noting that there is some degree of uncertainty around this figure due to a lack of comprehensive records from the period. That being said, one source that provides an estimate of the British investment in India's infrastructure is the book "The Economic History of India, 1857-1947" by Tirthankar Roy. According to the book, the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in Indian infrastructure up to the mid-19th century, including the construction of roads, canals, and railways. Another source that supports this estimate is a report by the Indian government's Planning Commission, titled "India's Five Year Plans: An Overview". The report mentions that the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in India's infrastructure up to the mid-19th century.Using compound interest formula A = P*(1+r/n)^(nt) putting
A= 0.2 billion pound, n = once per year (conservative!) and 0.05 interest (as per the India calculation and t=223 years
Putting into Microsoft Excel (other spreadsheets are available) tells me that:
10622.914 billion i.e 10 trillion sterling was invested in India which can be converted to dollar by multiplying with 4.68 as done by Patnaik which shows that British invested 46 trillion dollars in India. Now you might have understood how Patnaik lied about it. The way Patnaik calculated it is through a false method.
@@jeanettewee8805but you see, you saw all that cause it’s written on paper. What about the wealth take from India ? Unfortunately that wasn’t written down for obvious reasons and so it is difficult to establish exactly how much was taken out but just look at the state of India once colonialism ended and she was before the invasion. India was one of the richest countries in the ancient world and now, it is considered a third world country. Just how much must have been taken for a country to plummet from its highest to its lowest ?
And plus, the investment was for British in India and not necessarily for the betterment of Indians. If that was the case, there would be no need for a violent invasion and there wouldn’t have been any racial discrimination. They could give a helping hand without needing to colonise the land.

@@TL-fv5xg Go get yourself to school kid. As historians and economists have pointed out for a century, the indigenous and Muslim rulers of Indian empires and kingdoms - for all their crimes - recirculated the wealth of India within India providing incomes for artisans, artists etc. The whole point of the British Rule is that it is was COLONIAL rule which extracted or DRAINED the Indian economy - stealing India's resources, including India's foodgrains, and the profits of India's internal and external trade and repatriatin it to Britain. After the EIC mafia looters came home as super-ric nobs, in the Raj era the top jobs went to British officials whoe were paid extortionate amounts [many times that of the natives doing similar jobs] and they retired home to Britain with lavish pensions etc.
@@TL-fv5xg And don't forget [as Jason Hickel says in 'How Britain stole $45 Trillion from India: And Lied About IT' on AJ English] - I have lived in Britain since 1967 - the British constantly lie that their empire was an Exception which tried to lift India outs of supposed Eternal Poverty and Famine - when that poverty and Famine was created by the British! They boast of building railways - which were built at Indian taxpayers' cost - [as with foreign wars] even if not need as the Brit manufacturers were guaranteed a profit at India's expense and served to move troops around quickly to maintain the occupation and to move India's resources to the seaports more quickly for export and British profit!

England is just an Island with little or no resources stuck in a middle-aged mentality of queens and kings to whom they pay tribute. Once upon a time, they were mighty and colonialized many countries around the world just like Spain but later dried up to have to give them up. When Palki Sharma said in her video that England wants their money back Sherma replied that they should pay India for retribution for all the wrong or criminal acts committed.

@ jeanettewee8805 . Do you have any proof/alternative calculations to show these numbers are incorrect? No, I thought so. This is a fact that Britain and EU prospered by looting other nations (India, Africa). They destroyed the industry and infrastructure there and invested in building Britain. Why do you think UK has such a reduced status on the world stage in terms of economy and influence, because it can no longer leech the colonies so there is effectively no money left. As for references to Vikramaditya, you must understand that facts and myths are not the same thing. Myths often embellish facts.
Since the Queen is dead and gone, it's high time Britain returns the Kohinoor jewels of the crown to India if it has any dignity.

Hey, the figure of 45 trillion dollars was calculated by a Marxist economist named UTSA Patnaik, using a flawed methodology of compounding the loot taken by the British with a 5% interest rate. This method is unrealistic. Additionally, Patnaik arrived at a figure of 9 trillion pounds using this flawed method, which was then converted to dollars by multiplying it with 4.68. You can find these details in her article. Furthermore, Patnaik made an exaggerated claim that the British killed 1.8 billion people in India, which is obviously false. It's puzzling that channels like Vice and Wion omitted her outrageous claim of genocide. Unfortunately, spreading lies and misinformation is not uncommon in India. For instance, some stories claim that the Vikramaditya Empire controlled 40% of the world's land, or that India had airplanes 7000 years ago during the Vedic period. These are clearly baseless claims. There is also a story that Shivakar Talpade invented the airplane 8 years before the Wright Brothers, but that the British stole his idea and gave it to the Wright Brothers. India needs to stop perpetuating such false claims.

I applied the same approach as used in the 45 trillion calculation to the investment done by British before 1850s. The estimate of 200 million pounds sterling as the total investment in infrastructure by the British government in India up to the mid-19th century is based on various historical records and estimates. It's worth noting that there is some degree of uncertainty around this figure due to a lack of comprehensive records from the period. That being said, one source that provides an estimate of the British investment in India's infrastructure is the book "The Economic History of India, 1857-1947" by Tirthankar Roy. According to the book, the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in Indian infrastructure up to the mid-19th century, including the construction of roads, canals, and railways. Another source that supports this estimate is a report by the Indian government's Planning Commission, titled "India's Five Year Plans: An Overview". The report mentions that the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in India's infrastructure up to the mid-19th century.Using compound interest formula A = P*(1+r/n)^(nt) putting
A= 0.2 billion pound, n = once per year (conservative!) and 0.05 interest (as per the India calculation and t=223 years
Putting into Microsoft Excel (other spreadsheets are available) tells me that:
10622.914 billion i.e 10 trillion sterling was invested in India which can be converted to dollar by multiplying with 4.68 as done by Patnaik which shows that British invested 46 trillion dollars in India. Now you might have understood how Patnaik lied about it. The way Patnaik calculated it is through a false method.
Yes I agree
When you get on your knees and apologise to all your abused neighbours starting with Pak and Kashmir.

Britain should begin atoning for their colonial crimes. Germany was forced to pay war reparations to Israel. Likewise a fund meant for returning colonial loot to its former colonies should be started by Britain.
Most empires are conquered or fall apart. British empire was dismantled by Britain under pressure from its peer. Empire building is nothing new. Its been going on since the beginning of time. Britain has nothing to atone for. It should be viewed with respect for the enlightened thinking it brought to the world.
Britain left India with modernity, that's more than enough! Without the Brits being there India would be more backwards than Afghanistan!
India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs.
They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. See also Sullvan and Hickel’s (2022) online AJ English article ‘How British Colonialism Killed 100 million Indians in 40 Years’. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years.
In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador Thomas Roe wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.

There are people like this everywhere around the world even in India as all of us are humans, what we should do is understand this and not go on and hate all the Britishers who are trying to reconcile with us and establish good relations, we should be the better ones and ignore such media, because us replying to them only helps them accomplish their ultimate goal.
True
calling em britishers is enough hate lmao

How about the direct investments made by Indian companies in Britain? Just one example Jaguar/Land Rover was purchased by Tata . Tata then invested hundreds of millions of pounds to improve this British company.
I applied the same approach as used in the 45 trillion calculation to the investment done by British before 1850s. The estimate of 200 million pounds sterling as the total investment in infrastructure by the British government in India up to the mid-19th century is based on various historical records and estimates. It's worth noting that there is some degree of uncertainty around this figure due to a lack of comprehensive records from the period. That being said, one source that provides an estimate of the British investment in India's infrastructure is the book "The Economic History of India, 1857-1947" by Tirthankar Roy. According to the book, the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in Indian infrastructure up to the mid-19th century, including the construction of roads, canals, and railways. Another source that supports this estimate is a report by the Indian government's Planning Commission, titled "India's Five Year Plans: An Overview". The report mentions that the British invested around 200 million pounds sterling in India's infrastructure up to the mid-19th century.Using compound interest formula A = P*(1+r/n)^(nt) putting
A= 0.2 billion pound, n = once per year (conservative!) and 0.05 interest (as per the India calculation and t=223 years
Putting into Microsoft Excel (other spreadsheets are available) tells me that:
10622.914 billion i.e 10 trillion sterling was invested in India which can be converted to dollar by multiplying with 4.68 as done by Patnaik which shows that British invested 46 trillion dollars in India. Now you might have understood how Patnaik lied about it. The way Patnaik calculated it is through a false method.
