@Peter Plum The subcontinent was United numerous times under the Mauryans, Mughals, etc. The British didn’t do anything special, they just drew lines between India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and started a border war between them.
@Da Hui Because slavery was first done by the Asians. Now, how about you pay up first? Also, slavery is gonna come back and go out again repeatedly because this is what happened.

Those Jamaicans should be grateful, they are only there cos the English took there great grandparents there's all those years ago ,a little gratitude goes a long way
As a Jamaican, I was listening carefully to the historical overview, and kudos to you for the presentation, however, some of the information was off. Slavery was abolished in 1834, not 1837. The apprenticeship system was abolished in 1837.
Abolished in 1837, the act was passed 1834 and allowed for the apprenticeship period which was a sort of transition period geared mainly to the planters giving them time to figure out how they were gonna come up with ways to still make money off black slaves. The apprenticeship was a part of slavery.
The victims from the atrocities of european colonization are being told to move on while they compensate the agents of their colonization. SMH. Remember Haiti ended up paying REPARATIONS to france of between 20-30 billion dollars in today's money. Money they had to borrow from a french bank at such an exorbitant interest rate that it took 122 years to finally pay off in 1947. The money Britain borrowed to pay their former slave owners was only finally repaid in 2015. So during our lifetime people who had our ancestors in slavery were being compensated for lost of property (our ancestors) while this b...h is telling us to move on.
That was the view of the day .Its a Weak argument .Plus enslavement was a African act , by Africans .Who sold slaves to business men.All wrong but clearly not one nation was responsible.
Yup, you sure do. Blame the dutch and also Germans for bring them to America. Move on is right, none of us were born as this happened a long ass time ago, fools just want money. Lol
People can't take back things that were never theirs. All who are alive today had nothing to do with things that happened 200 years ago.. nor should they feel obligated to apologize for the sins of ancestors. No one fighting for reparations knows the actual history of slavery. Like how it existed in early biblical times long before the new world and the west and Britain learned and used it. Nearly every country is guilty of using it at some point in time.

Britain wouldn't even exist if all those countries unite together who faced injustice by them. And if ever they are forced to pay the reparations, britain would beg. They wouldnt have the money to buy a candy for the queen.
Britain can easily take on all of those countries and win, both militarily and economically. That's exactly why they have dominated the world (when they wanted to), because they are simply better. Ten cockroaches aren't a threat to a wolf.
I think the African countries who were plundered of their natural resources and human capital should limit EU, US, and UK access to their domestic markets as their economies develop. Much in the same way China does today.
They’re Africans brought to the Island Xaymaca. The indigenous people of the Island replaced with Africans, Indians and some Chinese. As well there were Spanish, Jewish people and Irish and Germans. So I’ve read. But the people brought were Africans. Current Jamaica is a new people with a mix of so many cultures.
@@amnahaque9058 I think the commenter is referring to another time period. Jamaica was conquered territory twice first the Spanish Empire and then it was given to UK. Jamaica was the sugar hub, so people were imported from other lands and utilized once the original population couldn’t keep up with the labour demands. At the time the people from the African continent were considered most strong to withstand the heat and endure long labour. So, Africans were brought over to Jamaica as well as other settlers and “workers” from other counties. Jamaica brought in a lot of revenue for the UK Empire because sugar was used a lot and in everything. Africa was and is very rich in natural resources so a lot of countries and kingdoms wanted a what they could occupy and control.

You can even use economics. And those imperialist nations have done additional harm after colonialism with interventions, implementing puppet governments and stifling economies. It goes to show that you just speak from ignorance. Money can't even pay for the mass genocide of native people and the treatment of black people. Black people weren't even treated like animals, more like insects. Our ancestors were tortured, beaten to death, forced to rape each other to "breed", were raped like nothing and were completely wiped of any identity (no African names, etc in the West). Our economies and health have suffered the consequences ever since while imperialist nations have exploited and still continue to exploit and brush it off in history books like it was nothing and then regular citizens like you pretend as if we're arguing over something pointless.

As a Jamaican, I was listening carefully to the historical overview, and kudos to you for the presentation, however, some of the information was off. Slavery was abolished in 1834, not 1837. The apprenticeship system was abolished in 1837.
Abolished in 1837, the act was passed 1834 and allowed for the apprenticeship period which was a sort of transition period geared mainly to the planters giving them time to figure out how they were gonna come up with ways to still make money off black slaves.
The apprenticeship was a part of slavery.

Wheels needed horses? Horses were not native to India... Who brought them there?

You are soooo spot on.
There was reparation for slave owners… why? Why didn’t “they move on” like the PM told the Jamaicans?
The victims from the atrocities of european colonization are being told to move on while they compensate the agents of their colonization. SMH. Remember Haiti ended up paying REPARATIONS to france of between 20-30 billion dollars in today's money. Money they had to borrow from a french bank at such an exorbitant interest rate that it took 122 years to finally pay off in 1947.
The money Britain borrowed to pay their former slave owners was only finally repaid in 2015. So during our lifetime people who had our ancestors in slavery were being compensated for lost of property (our ancestors) while this b...h is telling us to move on.
Exactly!
That was the view of the day .Its a Weak argument .Plus enslavement was a African act , by Africans .Who sold slaves to business men.All wrong but clearly not one nation was responsible.
Jamaicans all know who owned them for four hundred years as we have their surnames.

@Gre P it will only happen when 1 billion Indians vociferously demand it. Our elite class loves to visit the UK and get themselves photographed in front of Birmingham Palace and British Museum. They don't bother to raise their voice, nor are they patriotic enough to criticise the UK. We can at least do something in the meantime to pressure our Central Government.
@Gre P What about the Takt e Taus, Kohinoor and Noor e Akbar?
@@atriacharya2967 Our elite only go there for tourism. It is the government that must put pressure an demand these things. Tourists cannot do that dumbass.
India has to learn from Jamaica.... Government has to start from changing the name from India to Bharath 👍👍👍
France has charged HAITI 🇭🇹 $40bn in today's currency for reparations while they should be the one paying us reparations.
Why is INDIA in “chalta hai” mode?
why don’t we file a suit in International Court Of Justice backed by Supreme Court Of India for the loot they did to INDIAN Colony..?
Lol
Because if you did that you may not win because corruption runs hight there like many countries including u.s.a
I relate with all oppressed people! We Africans need to unite beyond the fictitious borders and drop-off points that these Europeans established during our enslavement. They have executed the same system of exploitation and underdevelopment in many places. It's time we unite with our shared experiences.
I agree
Let's unite all over the world.
Africa unites ✊🏿
We cant unite if we still have puppet leaders like m7 nd kagame tht create conflict just to disunite pp
As a Slovak I wish you all the best!
Their seat as a permanent member of security council should be snatched that would be a good place to start with, just think about it we have security council members to protect human rights but uk has always been the biggest human right exploiter in the world
human rights exploiter? Do google who abolished slavery. No, it wasn't the americans, it was us. We didn't need external pressure to do it.
@@niranjandesai6766 That was your mistake, maybe it's time to return back to your roots?
Actually in the 19th century Britain did pay reparations for slavery. About 15 million Pounds ( a lot of money in those days ). The money went to the former slave owners. Check it out.
Why is it that they are willing to give reparations to Jewish people and Mzungus in America. Yet when it comes to black and brown people.
They kno it's a RAP.. GAME OVER
They have Total disregard for the Africans lives
Because of the Abrahamic laws, which were created to protect the criminals make it possible for them to do so. Same as the CCP has laws to make sure Chinese government representatives are not held accountable for any actions in Tibet. When the Tibetans are victims of some of the more serious crimes today.
The legal system is written by the criminals to protect the criminals... The Abrahamic faiths.

SO DAMM TRUE ...WISH I CAN LIKE YOUR COMMENT 10,000 TIMES
And the jewish people over in Israel are not even the real jews
That will never happen under man's government, the damage is far too great. Only the most high can give the fair amount.
As someone say it's like telling a rape victim to move on
no its really not as the rape victim went through the crime these people just want free money
I'm still furious about the Roman invasion of the UK. My ancestors were killed and oppressed. I think we should bulldoze the Roman Baths in the City of Bath, and present day Italian citizens should pay me compensation. The Colosseum should be demolished too and a memorial to my ancestors built in its place.
The Romans colonised, murdered and enforced organised Christian religion in Britain and many other EU nations. France owned more slaves than anyone and has a history of brutally slaughtering anyone who defied the regime, especially in 1793-94. Portugal brutalised the people of Mozambique. Spain culled Arabs. African pirates in the 1700s attacked British shores, abducting peasants and selling them into slavery abroad, hence the song Rule Britannia as an attack on those pillagers.
Learn your facts.

Great Journalist, she's sharp n on point,, Sending One Love from Jamauca🇯🇲
I'm descended from those free people 🇯🇲 🇧🇧. We will NEVER get justice.
justice? u just looking for a free hand out make ur own money
Not with that attitude no !
@@themessenger6664 The Queen will never give up the bag.....she is beyond the law. The Queen is wicked and doesn't have empathy, even for people in her own family. Go look up how she abandoned her disabled cousin and left her to have a peasants burial when she died. My grandmother told me about life in the Caribbean (Barbados) under her dad's governance before independence, it was practically slavery.
@@Danzo1212 Thugs demand hand outs with machine guns and a poll tax to pay. Who built modern western civilization without pay?
Imagine the dominoe effect this will have on other slaver countries.
You mean like Saudi Arabia? Turkey? China? Morocco? Egypt? Mali? Libya? Ghana? Ethiopia? Yea, just imagine ...
All countries in the past were slaver countries.

Maybe the Queen will compensate the people, too open her way to Heaven. Because it's harder for a rich person to enter Heaven than for a Camel to go through the eye of a needle.
dear jamaica, please don't make this mistake. THE MONARCHY unites us, and it is beyond the parties, while the republic does not, in fact it is a system that is literally dominated by the parties. in short, the MONARCHY unites, while the republic divides
They should also demand reparations from the African countries and slave traders who sold them to the Europeans.
They’re next , also the Jewish for financing the whole operation and then the Arabs for building the boats
@@isiahbrady5980 Their not even ready for the Arab slave trade conversation yet.
They will , they just don’t know yet ,because they’re identities and history and language and everything else has been stolen from them
You have Israel flag on your DP remember it last year in Germany on 93 year old Nazi general got 3 years of prison because of killing Jews in concentration camps and for you also you will say what Israel did with Nazi after WW2 was wrong then you can say these people who are looking for the reparation are wrong too..... So u you will justify concentration camps was not wrong?
@@isiahbrady5980 they didn't get Justice for the history they have in their hand and now you are asking them to get the justice for that history which they don't even remember it isn't it irony to hide crime of colonialist behind someone?
Will Jamaican people be demanding reparations from Kamala Harris and her family for their role in the transatlantic slave trade? As well as other wealthy Jamaicans and their families?
I want money from whover owned me family - for four hundred years. What is the point of demanding money from people who had sod all to do with shite. As we all know our surnames we know who owned us. So if your name is Haris yes but what goes around comes around doesn't it.
Kamala Harris maternal ancestor was a slave.
I love this reporter she keeps it real
Britain is not only at fault in this but the Dutch, the Portuguese, the French, Spain, and America also and there are others also but doubt this audience could handle the truth
Support to Jamaica from India ❤️
There were more slaves in India, than the rest of the World, before the British came to India and stopped the trade there. You should be thanking Britain for that.
When i saw Elizabeth pic on the screen i was like, now Palki will explain everything in detail.
Ganesh: And Palki explains things like no one else does!
Reparations only if they take the money and a one way ticket to wherever they think they originate from.
Lol..... Still keeping Kohinoor in her crown and SHAMELSS country citizen still not yet awake ..... And some people comment to go back ...... Lol 😂😂😂 so should they go too as it's belongs to native people 😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
Why should people who were never slave owners pay reparations to people who were never slaves?
Agreed
I really like Jamaica Paradise
Let UK apologize for polarizing india as poor, undermining the customs and culture of the colonized countries, killing thousands of royal patronage and chiefs of other country lineage ..what she started she left it half baked and ran off as a result there are border issues needed around the world to be redesign..
Not until they return our $ 60 trillion
@OM SHANTI we can give them that much mercy . $ is enough
The amount is 45 trillion dollar.
according to research by columbia U
@@saiadithya1279 do u really believe them?
Didn't India insist that Britain "quit". However, when she did as you wanted. A few million died violent deaths, because you couldn't get your sh!t together.
More power to you Jamaica people keep fighting for the cause, they will not give reparations but at least they should made remember their stinking legacy of misdeeds
You mean murdering one another chilling heads off in front of kindergarten children really.?
What misdeeds? Ending the global curse of slavery. You should be paying Britain for what she did, in saving other's from having to be someone else's property.
As a matter of fact the fools of the Jamaican Parliament should insist on the permanent removal of Queen Elizabeth as the Head of State of an independent country.
I’m from Jamaica and yes we need this
Your greed speaks volumes entitled and not deserving maybe your ancestor but not you
So you want a handout, instead of bringing up your country to first world standards? What about the other places where there was slavery? The very word slave comes from "Slav", as in Yugoslavia. Should the people of Eastern Europe be given reparations too? You won't find them asking for them.
@@sandgrownun66 maybe if you live in a third world country and see what slavery does to the people and economy then you can talk or maybe your sitting behind your phone of laptop typing and don’t know what it’s like to not have food to eat while the bigger heads wasting it and could help millions I bet you never go to bed hungry or is it smh don’t comment if you don’t know what it’s like because one my who knows knows
