Heck yes, they need reparations and India need their items back! I am so angry that our education system teaches us nothing about the British in India - because it's shameful more than likely! Seriously, the older I get and the more I learn about how we treated people and how we continue to treat people makes me so ashamed to be British.
Another great video, Sammy!
You are a beautiful hearted, honest British lady and Britain should be proud to have such individuals like you who are vigilant enough to know and understand the wrongs that has been done by British to India and other countries.
Absolutely Rachel ☺️💖
Yes good women
There is no need to be ashamed to be British... It was not your fault but it is important for us from the younger generations of each culture to be honest about our ancestors. AND henceforth make policies and judgements about other based on our shared history
The least that today's British can do is teach their children all these facts and make them aware to help them b a better human being
Fact Check : 1. Dr Sashi Tharoor at one point of time stood for elections to the post of UN Secretary Genera but he lost to Japan I think.
2. We don't hate British
3. We hate what is being taught in Brit schools. As Sashi says that in Brit schools there is hardly anything being taught about colonialism.
4. Jalianwalah bagh massacre still brings tears to our eyes. General Dyer was actually rewarded in Britain when he came back.
5. British museum will be half empty if u send back items looted from India.
Kirti Gupta thank you so much for sharing this I really appreciate it 💖☺️
mistake : It's not only India.... It was called India Raj (now a days : India, Pakistan, Bangladesh)

@@SammyLouise Kriti Gupta is wrong. General Dyer was not awarded. He was not punished either. He was fired from his job but it was too less of a punishment to kill hundreds of innocent people.
My Great Grandmother is still alive she is 98 years old , she seen everything what British did in past how brutal were British how they looted India and killed millions of Indian , British took 2 KG gold from my Great grandfather house that's my personal lost then just think How much British looted from whole India , British can't even afford to repay what they looted ....😵

And they think Germans were the most brutal 🤣
Actually they are no different from Germans ethnically. A tribe named Anglo Saxons from Germany captured English and mingled with local people. They speak a language called anglis which later become English. Queen Elizabeth does have German blood 😑
Native people in England lost their culture and mingled with Anglo-Saxons.
They were all bunch of tribal warlords united by a common religion but the thinking is the same.use force to quench your hunger for riches.they r usually hardworking and also steal your work kind of.people.infact sometimes greed fully occupies moral sense of code like in boer wars where rulers ruling same land killed each other for newly discovered gold andnthis was in the 20th century.
Cannot deny that even. Hitler hated the people of other ethnicities and religions.... and the genocide he orchestrated on jews, blacks and the slavs is just one part of it....
@@indirajiths8247 thats true

Indians forgive but never forget.
They have a nature of forgiving and forgeting Dr.Sasi Tharoor said that it should be forgiving and not forgetting.
And bro he is right it's been years and generations suffer.
Can't really talk and understand them about what they did cause even their grandparents are taught fake history 😂😭

Good reply
Owe repatriations to India?? I don't think the British could afford it.
Yeah.. True 😂
at least an owner ship of the atrocities they have done.
Uk will become poor
British cannot afford it because repatriations will be around 3 trillion and at the moment they do not have GDP close to this.
Well said sir.
I don't want reparations in cash as Tharoor said. I want your history to be taught in your schools as reparations. That's what we all need. Thank you for your open and honest thoughts on the matter. Really appreciate your taking the time to learn about this.
I understand what your saying about us being tought it in school, but dont you think there is a reason behind why they dont?
@@James-ys2dd what is the reason?
@@JulieStardoll i dont think its in the governments interest to have the atrocities of the British Empire taught to young kids, for the simple fact its still happening now. Tony Blair is a war criminal for the lies and abuse of power he used to get Britain to go to war alongside the Americans in Iraq. At the time i was in school, I remember it all happening and it was pretty confusing and i was terrified of Iraq using its "WMD's" against us.
The point im trying to make is its about keeping the people naive for control
No country ( I guess except Germany) teach their actual history to it's students.
@@James-ys2dd history is about giving facts not telling who was right and who was wrong
I was taught all the good and bad policies implemented by the british In india
And the shortcomings of indian rulers
It doesn't mean i hate british peaple my concern is with british govt and the way they are handling this sensitive topic
"This hits the Britons hard given their history classes."
In fact, they are even taught that Brits colonized India and helped it. Biggest joke in the history!

@Shobhana Vijayakumar The 1883 British "Famine Code" was updated by an Independent India and renamed the "Scarcity Manual". "India in the 1960s was pathetically dependent on US food aid. Even in the bumper monsoon year of 1964-65, food aid totalled 7 million tonnes, over one-tenth of domestic production. Then India was hit by twin droughts in 1965 and 1966. Grain production crashed by one-fifth. Only unprecedented food aid saved India from mass starvation". Quotation by Swaminathan S.

Britain should teach the real history to its present generation.
yes, nelson wellington and winston churchill
It will not teach bcz their status will be thrown off...the one example that they have stolen kohinoor diamond which costs crores of dollers now...my grand father was telling that the british peoples were visiting evryhome to steal gold..so my grandfather made an idea that all golds were thrown to well so that the british people cannot take it from him.
They'd be ashamed, that's why they aren't taught that

And Remember! The Queen of England is still alive, hence she was a part of everything that Mr. Tharoor mentioned. Whatever happened, is still not history... it's still something that happened yesterday...
It's a different queen of England. The British Raj began in 1877 during the reign of Queen Victoria and ended in 1947 during the reign of Gorge VI, whose successor is the current queen of England. I agree about the Kohinoor thing tho.
@@maxwellofgallifreay1991 This much of history and common sense I know and have, unlike the new generation of Britons who are deliberately kept in the dark about what their parents or grandparents did.... ofcourse she wasn't the queen then... but she was there as part of the royal family, successor of George... whoever ( I don't give a damn). The point is 'atonement' to feel ashamed... atleast take the jewel off the crown and return it.
My Grandfather 's father died in the hands British soldiers. My grandfather told me about this when I was 12.But he doesn't said you should hate them. We forgive them , past can't be changed
Forgive people who have never repented?
I'm a german citizien, it was interesting to see your reactions. I learned a lot, not all detail of course, but a lot about german WWII atrocities and the Holocaust in school. It was the same kind of awakening about my country at an earlier age. What is shocking to me is that you didn't learn anything about the dark side of british colonization and history in school. If you do not learn such things in school, how will you ever be able to not following down the same path again as a nation, not to talk about atonement? How will you ever be able to foresee things going to happen, if you even cannot imagine that your leaders and your military are capable of executing the worst inhumane atrocities? Same with the US by the way, it's even worse.
Winston Churchill makes Hitler look like a Saint
@@monjir8707 No, one cannot say that, but Winston Churchill was responsible for a specific genocidal outcome of his actions too. Not the kind of intended well planned factorylike kind of mass murder Hitler was responsible for, more like accepting the death of millions as collateral damage of his actions in regard to India. And of course doing so he was showing a total disrespect for human life. There are some similarities, but there are obvious differences too.
@@paul8158 I feel that's what makes Germany great. The fact that you apologize for the actions of the past, even though they werent done by you, isn't for the people it was done to, rather your own atonement. From time to time, everyone needs to atone, because we all go wrong sometimes. Similarly countries need to atone for bad actions in their past, especially if they were egregious.
I've been to Europe and I've lived in both Germany and the UK. Even though as European countries, they are largely the same economically, the difference I saw in Germany was that there was large respect of human dignity which was not present in the UK. People were nice and respectful in Germany, unlike the UK. There was a sense of humility inspite of Germany's contributions to the world. Immigrants were treated with respect, there was no Islamophobia to my knowledge or my experience. Socioeconomic disparity was far lesser. It broke my heart to hear and see that nearly 20% of children suffer from food insecurity in the UK, something that doesn't exist in Germany. Healthcare is socialized and far more advanced than the UK.
@Kevin Burrow Right, so growing up, my grandmother, as a 9 year old, watched her uncle being strung up and hung from a tree for no reason, by two British men, because he was accused of participating in a protest, which he didn't participate in.
Growing up, my grandmother in her own country, saw the sign across public parks, "DOGS AND INDIANS NOT ALLOWED."
I've got plenty of more stories from my Dad's side.
Are you saying you are okay with that?
Brits are the worst. USA is right behind them.
Most Indians don't have any grudge against the current generation of Brits. It would be senseless to even think on those lines. But what hurts many is that many Brits are ignorant about the horrors of the British Empire and how they hold Winston Churchill so high in esteem.
As Dr Shashi Tharoor often says, it's good to forgive but not to forget the past. Because how will we know where to go if we don't now where we come from.
@@SammyLouise sad thing is "the winner always writes history" .

@@e-tardationidk6880 yes speaking from a perspective of a war leader, he definitely had his tricks, but overall he is a trash (by how he deliberately wrote about gandhi broke my heart) who i don't talk about
My husband is Pakistani and of course during the British rule Pakistan and India where one, Pakistani people have the same history with Britain as India.. my husband has told me so many things about what happened and it was a massive shock to me. I'm so saddened and angry about what we did but more so at what I was taught in school, like yourself.
I remember being taught what a hero Churchill was and thanks to my husband and my own further research I have discovered he was actually a genocidal racist bigot. We need awareness and we need to acknowledge what this country did and teach our children the true history of this country.
Again I wasn't aware of the diamond until my husband and it sickens me.

Even,British ordered the open fire at pregnant women ...i have no words left to say...22:48 . Still at india many people taught the white complexion is the beautiful and black complexion is ugly ..and using those concept we got many fairness cream advertising, like if you apply their cream on the face..you become white. ....and,I really appreciate for checking this video out and making others to know the truth! I really appreciate you 🙏
Shyam chaapalya priyadhaam (black is always agile and sprightly), stated the ancient Sanskrit poet Amrook in one of his 100 poems, in a tribute to feminine beauty. Out of Amrook’s 100 verses on female beauty, 76 praise black beauties. His coeval Brahthari wrote only about dark complexioned beauties; never did he write anything in praise of fairness. Before becoming a saint, Brahthari lived a bohemian life but he always liked it more when he was with a dark complexioned woman....Had we not been ruled by fair-skinned people, we’d never have been conscious about our complexion - which is predominantly dark or wheatish.

China has had a WAAAAAY harder time than India since 1947 yet still you lot blame the Brits. Look at your own failings.
@@jimjones8736 I dont know why you are misleading the topic to China and India.. Let me ask you a question...
Are you justifying British invasion in India?
To be quite honest here with everyone respectfully here in this comment section, the whole britain was literally made by India's money that they had at that time which was around $40 trillion dollars and that money was spent in making the whole United Kingdom (It includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) what it is today, that stolen money is the reason why U.K come under being a "developed country" and India literally lacks behind in everything as well as being considered as a third world country, that colonialism was the reason for so many people even today to be suffering from poverty, I've honestly seen so many people from outside world saying that "India is a poor country" they should honestly learn some history and then open their mouth about it.
Even british people of today's generations gets proud of their so called "London" and think that they don't owe none to anybody, why do you think in the british schools no kid is taught what britain did to India? Simple. They don't want their current generation to have that weight on their shoulders of the black deeds of their incestors and be depressed about their whole life, even quite frankly, start protesting against their own government and people for giving reparations.
India definitely does owe reparations as well their kohinoor diamond that the so called "queen" wears on her old head.
umm.. third world counties means they are part of NAM, which does not mean third world countries are poor, the first world countries are the countries who have a pact with USA, second world country means the counties have a pact with USSR, but still most of the points are certainly valid
in british (speaking from the perspective from all the comments) their schools doesn't teach them the horrors of colonialisation, instead they are taught to be digested with the fact that they helped those countries
Horseshit bro. Coming from an ex british colony, literally nobody copes this much here. Your math doesn't add up unfortunately, those flat "45 trillion dollars loot" claims lack a proper methodology. Moreover, europe from london to moscow was in ruins in 1945. Cities flattened to the soil, economies ravaged, industries destroyed etc. The europe you see today was rebuilt after ww2.
Another point, india started off with more industries than china in 1947 yet china is the better of the 2 today. Who is to blame here? The UK? No, absolutely not
Sister I'm from India... we don't hate anyone for the crimes of their ancestors ... god bless you with the best of health and happiness 😊

@suburben yobbo I agree with you. The commoners were ignorant and that's why it was neglected in their history books, common public wasn't aware of a Kohinoor or a Jalianwala massacre. The word RICH in Indian context was, rob India come home.
@suburben yobbo And somehow these facts justify the atrocities Britain comitted in India. It's like we say in hindi बेवकूफ को पैसे दे दो अक्ल नही। you're ignorant af.
I don't think it's a narrative by the indian nationalist,rather it's a truth.For those saying that those crimes were committed by the elites and not the commoners, well Britain had a govt. & those who were parliamentarians weren't much sympathetic towards INDIA either. In fact It was the barbarian Churchill,whose decisions led to the infamous BENGAL FAMINE,killing no less than 2 million innocent people coupled with his hatred for INDIA. Every nation has some sort of governing organisation and it's not possible to run any nation directly by its people. The decisions of the govt is believed to reflect common people's intentions, for most of the cases. If the common people were so sympathetic towards Indians, why wasn't there a recognisable voice to cease the bads & wrongs being done to us directed towards your govt or monarch.Why there weren't any cases or trials against those who commited these atrocities.And does anyone keep all the records of the descendants of all those Britishers who did all the wrongs to India and Indians. And is it that all those who did all those terrible things and their descendants are still a distinct recognisable group even among common Britishers, it's not. Or is it that what Britain gained economically from India (looted maybe) back then, helped proper only a certain part of the country. The truth is that if it had been any other commoner, the result would've been the same, because back then you guys were mad just to do anything & everything to help feed your industries at the cost of other's lives & economy, and for most of the part you did it pretty well indeed. All that, what was unethically and inhumanly collected from colonies helped BRITAIN prosper, and i say it again the whole of Britain. And those who seek to hide this fact is simply nothing of a humane nature at all. Today's Britain owes only reparations, economic, to today's India. If reparations were to be asked for the then Indians, then it would've included lives of as many britishers as were killed by them. I dont think if I ask it, you'd be happy either. Now as for the question of other imperialist nations commiting crimes on their colonies, they deserve the same. So it's not at all wrong to say that ancestors of today's britishers shouldn't be blamed. And if you've got a single evidence to show a recognisable part of the then Britain's commoners held even an iota of sympathy for India, I'd be glad. The British traders, crown people, govt people and at last common people, all were equally guilty of the crimes. For those who believe that SHASHI is asking for too much, i guess you must remember that Britain owes many lives too, and we're not asking for it anymore. And for those who believe that they were way more humane, think about it; are you ready to cost the lives of your parents or daughters or wives or kids for a more prosperous life. The best I can say is that we must never forget what happened to us , so that should history try to repeat itself, we can give befitting reply to the invaders and colonisers.

And most of all, They left us with the KASHMIR issue.
@@shataniksarkar7382Firstly, Kashmir was a sovereign country since 9th century CE. So, your concept of treaty might be a bit off. Secondly, it remained as a country till the first anglo sikh wars back in 1846. the valley of Kashmir was then sold by the victorious British to the king of Jammu, and the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir were formed. In 1947, after independence of the sub continent, there were political arm twisting of the sovereign state (Similar arm twisting tactics were also used for the sovereign states of Hyderabad and Junagarh, both being too far away from Pakistan borders, did not end up in a soup like Kashmir) by both India and Pakistan which resulted in the mess we know today. China was never a part of this regional history. They just came in and took a piece in midst of all these confusion back in 1962. That, in a nutshell is the history of Kashmir Valley.

@suburben yobbo Except basic economic analysis displays clearly that the wealth and economic preeminence many Britons would benefit from via Imperialism and Colonialism put them significantly ahead of the colonized peoples. Attempting to hide behind the "elites" to excuse the actions of British colonialism is little different from Germans hiding behind the fact that while they may have marched and paraded for Nazism, they didn't themselves build the foundations of the death camps or marched Poles, Jews, and Romani into them, only a small number of Germans actually did it. It's not a matter of the numbers the collective guilt to remains with the people who did indeed have the capacity to prevent said actions and hold a form of culpability from the benefit of said actions.
@suburben yobbo "no matter what sad bigoted or ignorant argument"
Noting a people group who benefitted from the empire is responsible for said empire's expansion by providing the soldiers and settlers of said empire bare responsibility for empire's actions isn't bigoted you're just insanely sensitive to your state's culpability. and by extension it's people.
"as it forms the basis of justification for nationalism and racism against British people,"
God forbid Asians, Africans, and Native Americans, as displayed by Tharoor that the British Empire was achieved at their expense. Tharoor has already established why Britons collectively hold some form of responsibility so I won't rehash his arguments. You're attempt to wiggle away as I noted above can easily be used by Nazis.
Thank you so much.. I've watched this speech so many times.. but your moved me.. thankk you and God bless
I like the way you talk.
Being an Indian... tears rolled out from my eyes .....
Not many people know we were the richest country 3 to 400 years back.
You are right when you say British people don't even know what Britan did in the past. I lived in London for 7 years some of my Indian colleagues born in England even they don't know....
Bengal famine of 1943- 4 million of people died in hunger and there were tons of shipment from Australia and Canada but Churchill famously said " but Gandhi is still alive" and diverted the shipment to Europe to keep as buffer stock for its soldiers.
Such a shameful act which goes under the table more often than not while describing Churchill
3-5 million
He took a tough decision.. I believe
Kopite Venom
Churchill will burn in hell four million times. Or whatever the exact amount of people he killed in the Bengal famine because of his deliberate negligence of the famine taking place in united bengal.
As we speak Churchill is being roasted in hell.

In mostly every museum in the Britain. Most of the items are robbed from the countries they've ruled in the past. 😂 They've nothing of their own.
We do have some cool stuff though 😁
U spitting some truth right there
Lol
Imagine to have the audacity to store your loot from other cultures and ethnicities and being proud about it, yeah India can't relate
Even kohinoor diamond stolen from india is worn by queen with pride
You are such a sweetheart, thanks for acknowledging the problems as problems. I kept tearing up while listening to the atrocities that took place during British empire. What a shame!
This makes me proud to be an indian, we recovered with little support from any allies during the last 70-80 years.
Really loved the reaction to this, and really thankful to you acknowledging the facts. Really love your reaction videos. Keep up the good work!
Does Britain owe India reparations? Yes.
Do Indians want it? No thanks. We'll manage with what we have now, as we have always done. Our self respect is worth more to us than tangible material reparations.
Yes.. we are fine that they are just gone
Kudos Harsha 👍🏻👍🏻
🤣🤣 it would cost them their whole Britain for that
Jalianwalah Bag only 130 people died and in Indra Gandhi's time 17000 shiks died and you call British bad people.
Schools in India dont teach how India was doing the same thing that they are blaming the British for.
Right from the Gupta period all the way till British arrived so many lower cast people suffered at least in the British time they had justice.
Women suffered from centuries in India. Sati, child, marriage, dowry Anti women male chauvinist mentality all this was there in India.
Slavery and temple prostitution was all over the place in India.
Indian Kings looted so much.
No kingdom ever cared to be a nation. It was only the British that brought together India.
The British Brought justice system education monitory system, railways, democracy, parliamentary system medical system etc etc....
even till today we use these system and still blame the British. If they were that bad then how did they come up with this kind of ethics and morals that has become the standards of modern world?
Indians didn't come up with education system The first Hindi dictionary was compiled by a british missionaries
Hindi that north Indians speak is a product of Missionaries.
Sati was first abolished by a missionary 15 years before Raja ram Mohon Roy tried to do some thing about it.
India Practiced Untouchability so medical and medicine system could not have been developed in India. Health workers were treated with humiliation.
They brought revolutionary ideas in the agricultural sector. Before that India was primitive.
they blame the British took heavy taxes. that 's not true the India kings charged more and some time even all of it.
India has been fed lies by the political parties right from the time the British left.
Women rights are a product of British govt.
India also Invaded Shri Lanka and the Maldives during chola empire just for looting purpose. They tried but failed in other places because India was a land lock.
And India never belonged to any one. It belonged to whom so ever ruled it. First came the Dravidian and then came the Aryans and chased them away and then later Greeks and then came mughals and so and so.
Every single country in the world is built on theft!
India should put off their self righteous attitude just like every other country that were ruled by the British. No one is complaining except India. Its a shame.
@@sanman8530 you have the right to your opinion just like everyone else, just like I do.
I went to school in Britain too left school in the seventies.Lack of this information and history about India would have changed the views of English people towards Indians
But that's not the Whole point, some facts are facts, and we know it very well, its all in School text book, if you really want to, please download some of text books on internet, you will find it.. though he may have dramatize a bit and his faliure as a politician doesn't change tha facts.. however I do agree time has past now, and English people do respect Indians, I have lived in British Columbia for few years, and never felt insecure anytime..
@suburben yobbo if they have good attitude towards us then why so much hate and racism against us? Why bbc media only shows negative side of india? We have never done any terrorist attack on their country still they hate us
@@ukisbeggar8462 actually u don't really have that kind of overt racism anymore...there though was a time when it did happen...moreover most brits now have a pretty good relationship with indian migrants.
@suburben yobbo with my experience of staying in Oxford,i can say that the kind of racism that lot of indians think still exists in england today, is not a reality. moreover most common brits jell pretty well with indian migrants.
having said that, there still exists some subliminal racism that only an outsider can understand, the one who faces it.
besides after visiting australia, i think england is heaven, as far as racism is concerned.

I really appreciate your feelings for India in the past. And the kind of respect you have for us Indians. God bless you for that. I wish people were more like you in those days. It would have been a different world back in those days.
From India too want to thankyou sooo much for this video. May God bless you.🥰
Don't take it too hard on yourself. But I agree on your point, the British history is being told only on it's brightest side in your schools. Its understandable that the schools there wanna bring up their kids making them think their country was the greatest.. I have seen the reactions of other Brits on the same video and they were too reluctant to agree just because they weren't aware of what happened in the past.. so history is always two sided and has to be told both sides of the stories..
Appreciate your patience and tolerance. You are not responsible for what your ancestors did. Please don't feel guilty. Let's create a peaceful and great future together!
I hope we can ☺️💖
@Bidu Bidu dont be stupid..we all are human beings.evry1 sholuld be our friends.
Sammy pls dint listen to tis fellow
We understand why you're exonerating british citizens for the crimes committed by forefathers.
@Bidu Bidu u jst shut up fool...y sholud she be held responsible for the things, she is hearing for the 1st tim.
U think ur fore fathers are saintely persons. Or can u even be held responsible for the attrocities committed by then. Jst use bit of ur brain idot, if u have one of those.
@Bidu Bidu I am with you, and for the topic that Britain should be fuckin' penalized as they didn't think about humanity when they killed and divided us!!😑😑
You have very kind heart. We are all learning from the history. It always makes us sad and sadder when we learn the England's approach in History. But seeing you it seems that History speaks for it self. More power to you!
You got one true fan.
Sammy, I really appreciate you doing the research and learning about the massacre. I like that you took time to talk about it at the end. Thank you for that. This is my first time watching your video, I randomly clicked, I liked you more by the end. Thank you for making this video.
I am an Indian and and even Mr.Tharoor this speech make me cry.
*FORGIVE, DON'T FORGET* •
*WE REMEMBER EVERYTHING*
we didn't forget about Jallianwala Bagh massacre where innocent unarmed people's are killed
Palash Nandi yes we didn't..... And that's what he said that we might forgive for what had happened.... But we didn't forgot anything......
Thank you for understanding and acknowledging......and i hope you spread this as much as you can.....cause people should know ..... forgive but not forget
26:52 Fun fact: they're not taught this. Dr. Tharoor's speech came as much of a surprise to Indians as it did to others. That actually inspired him to write a book about it: _An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India_ or as it's known globally, _Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India_ .
No we are taught about this but not too deep I guess
Forget about reparations, Britain should at least return the jewels and precious artifacts it has stolen from India
As specially, the kohinoor diamond
kohinoor was in britain
@@sunil4682 You really didn't pay any attention to your history lessons at all, did you? The diamond was NOT stolen, it was gifted to the British. Next time get your facts right before commenting bullshit.
@@AvishekPaulOnline "On 29 March 1849, following the conclusion of the Second Anglo-Sikh War, the Kingdom of Punjab was formally annexed to Company rule, and the Last Treaty of Lahore was signed, officially ceding the Koh-i-Noor to Queen Victoria and the Maharaja's other assets to the company. Article III of the treaty read: "The gem called the Koh-i-Noor, which was taken from Shah Sooja-ool-moolk by Maharajah Ranjeet Singh, shall be surrendered by the Maharajah of Lahore to the Queen of England" Its war payments you dumbass, not a gift...
@@AvishekPaulOnline awww nah thnx its ours now🤣
Am an Indian n I thought while watching it you'd say against India but glad u support right things n clapped which is impressive
Nice to know your thought behind reacting to this video.
I could see the transformation to shock and all sort mixed reactions appearing on your facial muscles soon after the very first point itself made by Dr. Shashi. Appreciate your objective to dig deeper to understand more about the topic/theme.
You are the first person/channel I liked and commented immediately after the first reaction video. The content is a factor of course, but the way you reacted/responded to this and your objective mattered more than that!
You don't need to feel bad that's okay.loved your reaction, it was an honest review and I'm glad that you pointed out about the Kohinoor and massacre which many of the other reaction channel totally missed on...just loved it
🙏🙏
My great grandfather too was murdered by British
He was a landlord in present UP state
On his land many farmers daily wage workers used to work and want their livelihood
Britiehsers threatened him to give his land ..many workers opposed them ..they killed all workers and shot my great grandpa in front of his home ...
U. Jst have no idea how many millions have died ...we may have forgive them but not forget them ..
Time and karma will bring changes to many nations
May your great grandfather rest in peace
Wait what? Your great grandfather was the landlord? I heard landlords were as cruel as British rulers
@@zulucement2908 may be his great grand parents were not, thats why brits shot him. If he would have followed the british intructions and executed them. He would have lived a long life.

Every thing you mentioned is true
And the jalian wala bagh massacre ..it still bring tears in my eyes . How much they have been suffered 😥
It's a shame world wide renowned university like Oxford and Cambridge doesn't teaches British successors a real history.
do u want them to make their students suicide ? If they learn about general dyer and what he did and so on ! this is hard to take
yah ! that is what i am tryin to say ! i have some white friends who acts as they are somehow responsible for all the bloody thing that happen in history ! i dont think thats very good attitude ! anyway their ancestor has done things that was best in those times to survive and feed families ! and brown people were stupid and naive !!
but the question is how do u stay sane when you learn that u belong to a country who literally celebrated killing women and children openly who were gathered for a festival, jallianwala bagh massacre and the fact is its not very old incident its recent history ! you can still find the effects in regional areas
I am from Bhutan, immediate neighbour of india. i liked the genuineness that this beautiful lady has when it comes to the reaction of this video. I subscribed you for having kind heart to see what is true.

@@danmathew4069 He's your father which your mother didn't bother to tell you about idiot. Get out of the country, if you have any issues brother
The profanities used by you speaks a lot about your upbringing & frustration mate, nevertheless I stand by my word & won't stoop so low to your level. Anyways, in 2019 he's again gonna be back again & this time it will be last supper for all anti-national elements like you. Good luck & start packing your bags
Such a genuine reaction. I love people like this!
The massacre you spoke of still hurts people like me today, it still makes my heart weep. I'm a Sikh. The festival was Vaisakhi. Vaisakh is the first month of the Sikh calendar It is also a religious festival, but I won't go too much into that. I remember watching a documentary years ago on the massacre, and an MP stating that the queen will not apologise for what happened. The lack of responsibility and accountability for the lives lost is disgusting. It really shows what so called 'British values' are. It states that those people did not matter. Lets start teaching the dark side of colonialism, not the so called enlightenment it spread. People forget that there are many British people, like me, whose ancestors suffered. I would like to be told the truth in school, not one painted version of it that my oppressor deems accurate. Anyway great video. Peace.
Some british people don't accept that.😔 . I was watching another reaction. I feel bad coz I m indian. They will never know the pain.
Now British can't even rule on single state of India. In fact India can destroy whole Britain in few seconds.
What goes around , comes around. British will atone.

I am a Bengali.Research on Indigo mutiny. What your ancestors did to us. Many Of us even don’t know that British are not only took the Kohinoor but they also took many gems from the wall of Taj Mahal.

Archock Encanto Yes brother I didn’t know that. My point is simple that British looted us in every inch. Human should be human and the British didn’t behave with us in that way that’s why I hate. If Muslim or Hindu or any one doesn’t go that way that will be called a shame.
@Archock Encanto Hindus were scared sheeps and they still are scared sheeps. Sikhs were less than 2% of Indian population in those days but defended golden temple, why did not Hindus saved there temple and jewels they were the highest population in India in those days?
