RURAL PEOPLE OF MAHARASHTRA, INDIA. THIS VIDEO TAKEN IN 1943.

In 1943 the Film Advisory Board (FAB), the body that had been created to oversee the production of wartime documentaries in India, was dissolved and Information Films of India (IFI) was created in its place. Under this new organisation the Government of India assumed full responsibility for propaganda films. In addition, the government implemented the Defence of India Rule 44A, effective from September 1943, which required that every cinema in India show at least 2,000 feet of government ‘approved’ film at each performance. To ensure that the IFI’s films reached as wide an audience as possible they were issued in separate English, Hindustani, Bengali, Tamil and Telugu versions (‘Note for Cut Motion’). This closer governmental control of film production was a response to two main threats: the unrest in the sub-continent caused by the nationalist Quit India movement, and the growing seriousness of the war in south-east Asia (Garga, 2007, 97).
The Second World War deployed a large amount of Indian resources and manpower. By 1943, India was third only to Britain and Canada in producing goods for war supply (Jackson, 2006, 358). The number of soldiers serving in the Indian Army grew from 205,058 men in October 1939 to 2,251,050 in July 1945, the majority of whom came from rural areas (Brown, 1994, 319; Garga, 2007, 109). The war effort had its effect on the Indian economy, bringing with it both inflation and food shortages (Brown, 1994, 325).
Among the Empire countries India provided the most serious opposition to Britain’s War aims. The outbreak of war witnessed the leading Indian political party, the Indian National Congress, resign from government rather than support the war cause, and in 1942 the party launched the ‘Quit India’ movement, demanding full independence for India.

And they blame Britishers. They have helped to see these priceless archives.

[@mr.S3039]

They've taken 100x than they contributed

[@rajeevajgaonkar4152]

The blame is justified. There are no two opinions on that.
True, as compared to other colonial rulers like the Portuguese, they were benevolent rulers and did give back a fraction of what they took away.
