So the politicians are the bookies and the people are the gamblers

And like gamble some outside forces can influence the outcome
What you say is quite true but this is also true that democracy unlike a monarchy or dictatorship is a gamble where at least the gambler can influence the outcome as well

As an Indian I am disgusted how there are still those among us that blame the British for our problems. How long until we take responsibility and become as great as we should be? India shall rise up!
It's much easier to lay something down than to take something up. It's good to know that there are still those who would rather assume the mantle than point fingers.
First of all you are not an Indian and if you are really Indian then, you should know what was happened to us back in the 19th and 20th century. You people don't know how much India was looted during british colonial time. There was a serious study regarding this and it was found that around 45trillion dollar were looted by those thief's. Today, India has 4th largest military in the world, first nation to land successfully on south pole of the moon [Even thief britisher's are not able to launch a satelite in space poor BRITISHER's ] , when britisher's were threw out of the nation India's literacy rate was 7% but in just 7 decades, now it's 73% literacy rate in India with world's largest democracy and still India is developing nation, after thief's empire was kicked off from the India we were not able to feed our population but now India is self-sufficient[ because of green revolution in India] that even India export's it's rice to other poor countries and India is one the largest exporter of wheat, rice etc. and there are various best thing about India that today India is able to become one of the fastest growing economy in the world.
@@THOMAS_SHELBY434 Yes, I am happy that India is rising. I love my country so much, it will rise. This time India will not be golden bird but golden tiger. I used to hate my nation for 3 years when being abroad for some things but now regained love for my nation permanently. Salute India.
They looted 45 trillion

2. Corruption
3. Repressed minorities
4. Not taking any responsibility
For all the haters: here are some facts about India.
1. India is a wonderful country!
2. By far the cleanest country in the world!
3. We don’t scam people. It’s a myth.
4. Rape is almost nonexistent.
5. Corruption is even lower than Scandinavian countries.
6. Street food is the most delicious and safest to eat in all of euroasia. (Yes Asia and Europe are the same continent.
7. The streets in all India are very quiet and pleasant
8. English speaking countries are jealous of our accent especially Americans. Indian English sounds identical to British English and Indians do not sound like they have a hot dog in their mouth when they're speaking it.
9. The water from the Yamuna river is safe to drink and very tasty. 😋
10. India was the most powerful nation in military and riches. No other nation could outmatch it. Until this tiny island from halfway across the world conquered us and stole 55 trillion dollars from us. (We demand reparations immediately!)
11. White western women go crazy over Indian men. We are their fetish.
12. It is everyone’s dream to come and live in India permanently especially people in the western world. The world is jealous of our clean and safe country! 🇮🇳
Disagree with #3
Being an Indian I have a very strong feeling that whenever we talk about Indians/Indian history/Indian economy & developing programs, we always blame British & our political leadership but never blame ourselves that we are responsible for it directly. British came in power because few people wants always on the throne and allowed rest of Indian to be slaves then politicians wanted always in power and make slave again rest of Indians. Look at us in the 21st century we r still voting 🗳 in the name of caste creed and ironically those old government still wants us to vote for them.
India is a faster growing economy that China, and China will be the number one superpower after a few years. I feel after China, India will be next. I really believe the caste system needs to be abolished for India to advance.

Because here people make babies to show the society, they are not barren. They raise babies, so as they could help them in old age. They brain wash children to take jobs, which make their parents proud in society. Never follow your own passion. Doing your own homeworks like cleaning, cooking and repairing is a low caste activity, so it must not not be practiced. India is poor because you are not to express yourself, if it is conflicting older people and century old customs. And, you must never listen to the young ones because they always blabber in high adrenaline state, without making any sense.
me when i was 16
Same thing happened to me, I was forced by my parents and relatives to study something which i never wanted and now they are forcing me, to stay at home and prepare for govt exams rather than working in a private firm.
Indians should learn to work with each other and learn about exponential growth: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1k 2k 4k 8k 16k 32k etc... If you fold a piece of paper 1 mm thick 10 times it will be 1 meter, 20 times it will be 1 KM, 30 times it will be 1000 KM. Indians should focus on improving productivity, and never buy or sell products only for vanity.
it always surprises me how little India has changed culturally. When India got independence South Korea was still a 3rd world country, China was as isolated and as backwards as North Korea is today, most of the Nordic countries were still pretty poor and backwards, and Germany and Japan were devastated by war and still reeling from insane indoctrination. Nearly 80 years later and they've all catapulted themselves into first world nations and India still struggles with the caste system, large parts of the country look the same way they did a century ago, and even the more developed areas are more like Victorian Europe then a modern Asian country where you'll find rag pickers, child laborers, and people pooping in public within walking distance of modern office buildings.
@@arthas640 and india didn't open it's economy like china and korea that was the essential difference if india had opened it's economy and not followed socialist economic policies it would have been successful

India is a huge talented country. But with several differences from China. Firstly language. India has a few hundred languages. It should adopt English as the official language, like Singapore. No shame in doing that. Culture? The Chinese like to venture and start their own...... Ten Cents and Ali Babas and Hwawei. Indians preferred to work for Microsoft and Google. Entrepreneurship is more common in Chinese culture. Lastly, the democratic process is also slowing India down. Too many opinions and ideas.
True..

Because indian leaders thought only doing agriculture is enough for india . They didn't think privatisation, industrialisation and capitalism will do any good.
How bout giving free education and free healthcare. But we can allow private companies.
Main reason democracy+ so much diversity
@@knowledgedesk1653 Nah. Democracy or monarchy or oligarchy has very little to do with economic development. What matters the most is what economic system are you applying. Also depends what kind of leadership are you having. Why didn't china grew for nearly four decades ? Just like that india didn't grew economically for about 5 decades because it was closed to the rest of the world. Also india doesn't have rich country in it's neibourhood like China had to invest money and to trade with. Japan, SK ,Taiwan ,HK all were there to.manufacture there goods in china and sell them elsewhere. India had leadership which absolutely deposed rich and saw them as if they are problems but forgot that those Rich's are absolutely crucial to develop any nation. With time grew population grew with poverty and other kind of problems.
@@bulu9214 Please explain how the rich are crucial to the economy, I don't get it.
Are you trying to say that they bring in capital to invest so they're needed? Because that's the exact same thing a country can do without the rich.

The problem with India was that we continued to live in colonial hangover for much longer than needed. We were always afraid of being colonized again. The fear was so high that when USSR collapsed, as a small child I was deeply paranoid. The way elders used to talk, it seemed American bombers were on their way to bomb us. We could have grown like S.Korea and Japan with correct economic policies right from day one.

Scamming and thievery is the culture, that's why.
This video gave a very dim picture of India's future. The only thing it misses, is the terrible corruption practice of the government officers of all levels, from federal to state. Without the elimination of the corrupt practice, it will be difficult to attract investors.
Corruption is the most difficult problem to get rid off and I was born in one. I always thought that we can never win. There is a bright side. China and Vietnam were extremely corrupted like Indian. Today they choose to correct the problems. In China and Vietnam recently they put to death the most high ranking and corrupted officials. They send out a strong signal that no one is immune to that. So far it works. In the 70's Korea was extremely corrupted. Look at them now. It is encouraging!!!
@kb The only way is to abolish the British political system. All you hear is the fighting between the politicians for their jobs. They never think for the people. You need a revolution or the incarnation of Sri Vishnu.

This is a great video. I'm from China and we are very curious about Indian culture. In ancient times our culture was partly influenced by Indian culture probably through Buddhism. India and China have a lot in common. Both are large countries with large populations; both are old countries with splendid cultures; both used to be affected by western invasion; both used to be very poor and have a lot of people to feed. I hope China and India can settle the territory dispute peacefully and join hands to develop together.

India was one of the wealthiest regions of the world during pre-colonial Mughal rule because the land was fertile, the population was high, and industrialization didn't exist yet. These so-called GDP estimates are based purely on its capacity for agricultural production. Doesn't anyone remember that 95% of the pre-1800 population consisted of farmers?
Yeah, that was a time when your economy was almost entirely dependent on agricultural output and India's was so great purely thanks to geography rather then policy or anything like that. Their economy was actually pretty inefficient really, when the British started the industrial revolution textiles were some of the first things they industrialized and in a matter of a couple decades they were able to out produce India to the point some previous textiles India had once monopolized were being produced by England in larger quantities using a handful of unskilled laborers and a couple factories while India was producing less with an army of craftsmen that needed a lifetime to train. India was if anything more advanced then England for centuries but rapidly fell behind in large part because of over reliance on agriculture and over reliance on cheap labor: as mentioned in the video why would they invest in expensive machinery when you can just hire a hundred laborers for less? China had similar problems, at one point there were Chinese filmmakers who would hire people to stand around holding lights because it was cheaper then renting an expensive opposable light stand.
This was so informative. Really liked it!

As someone who serves in the military, the Arjun tank, and the HAL Tejas fighter scream of corruption. Developing indigenous tank and fighter for over 20+ years with multiple delays tells me of huge corruption. Arjun was a competitive tank in the 80-s, but its protracted development made it uncompetitive by now. Plus India bought and manufactured T-90 Russian tanks which are below Russian quality, hence the problems with engine cooling and reliability in a tropical climate.
T-90s are pretty modern, what about T-72s? Which do you think would serve well in tropics?
@@rogeralien No idea. T-72 was designed for European theatre, not for tropical climate. However it was widely exported, and performed well in the Middle East, and Africa. Same with T-90. However any tank operating in hot climate must have an air conditioner. Not to cool the crew (Soviet tanks were not designed for comfort), but to cool the electronics. It's hard to impossible to design a good resolution thermal sight for night/ bad weather fighting without actively cooling the matrix.

Funny how I'm still seeing people solely blaming the British in some comments.
Yea, the British colonization left India in a _really_ bad shape, and they are partially responsible for this, but once India got independence and some stability, it was, responsible for its own actions.
After that point, We were responsible for how we handled our country's economy, not being puppeteered by colonists, and yet to govt. Refused to make so many reforms that most countries already realized were amazing, while we didn't push the govt. To do so. The giovt. Had to be pushed by *foreign* powers to get around to making the crucial changes. Isn't that feeling like things coming back in a circle?
Now, finally, India has managed to get on track, but even now we have seveeral problems, but we are the ones responsible for solving them, blaming our *former* colonizers will do no good now.

For all the haters: here are some facts about India.
1. India is a wonderful country!
2. By far the cleanest country in the world!
3. We don’t scam people. It’s a myth.
4. Rape is almost nonexistent.
5. Corruption is even lower than Scandinavian countries.
6. Street food is the most delicious and safest to eat in all of euroasia. (Yes Asia and Europe are the same continent.
7. The streets in all India are very quiet and pleasant
8. English speaking countries are jealous of our accent especially Americans. Indian English sounds identical to British English and Indians do not sound like they have a hot dog in their mouth when they're speaking it.
9. The water from the Yamuna river is safe to drink and very tasty. 😋
10. India was the most powerful nation in military and riches. No other nation could outmatch it. Until this tiny island from halfway across the world conquered us and stole 55 trillion dollars from us. (We demand reparations immediately!)
11. White western women go crazy over Indian men. We are their fetish.
12. It is everyone’s dream to come and live in India permanently especially people in the western world. The world is jealous of our clean and safe country! 🇮🇳
Taking the GDP per Capita of the US and applying it to India is a bit absurd. The average developed nations has a much lower GDP per Capita than the US. The US's data is inflated due to their currency being the dollar.
the average does not mind if the wealth is concentrated into few people.
That's why we should use PPP
The purchasing power
@@Twocat5side PPP doesn't account for overall value. Indians cannot produce chips nor can they produce other high end valued products due to limitation in research.
@@ultorgaming7975 Indeed,China liberalised in the early 80s.
India under Indira gandhi's dictatorship decided to give more power to the economic system of command and control,....to fix the failures of command and control.
The Gandhi family's continued political power after nehru is the worst thing to ever happen to India.
Purchasing power parity also matters when trying to gauge the level of prosperity, 1$ can buy a lot more in India and China compared to USA and hence if India and China achieve to make it into the lower end of high income then they are effectively as rich as western nations if not more
"Why is India poor?"- being an indian i've often asked wondered this question as well.
How could we, a vast, resource rich, diverse, and relatively large literate and educated population, be so backward compared to our contemporaries in asia like China or japan? We didnt even have any major conflicts on our soil, or any major civil war, or have our cities flattened or anything like that.
It is quite clear that despite many of our initial advantages, our leadership has squandered it.

Great Things the British Did for India
1. Abolition of Sati: Outlawed the practice of Sati in 1829, saving many women from forced immolation.
2. Introduction of Railways: Built an extensive railway network, facilitating transportation and trade.

2. Views on Women: Held conservative and often sexist views, advising women to endure rather than resist sexual violence.
3. Racial Views: Made derogatory remarks about Black Africans and initially supported segregation during his time in South Africa.

11. Public Health Challenges: Issues like malnutrition, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and high infant mortality rates.
12. Religious Intolerance: Instances of religious violence and intolerance, particularly between Hindus and Muslims, leading to communal riots and social fragmentation.
India's bureaucracy and dirty populist electoral politics continues to be the largest barrier to passing much needed good reforms effectively.

But just like China India was united 5 times and again split up into majority local Kingdoms infact when British were on it's soil 3/4th of India was under single maratha empire who first gave slogan of one India. And British never united India they left India with 570+ provinces as each own autonomous country giving them choice to be independent but it's our first home minister sardar Patel after independence used military force and united entire country and for that very reason you find world's biggest statue dedicated to him.

"Radical reform" - quite a way in saying what it actually is: a revolution. The current stakeholders though will do everything to maintain the status quo; it'll be even harder among those who want changes to reach a consensus on what degree they have to go, how to realize it, and what shares people should settle on post-revolution - which means you have to go through much infighting first.

@@somerandomguy7458 will be left behind tho
You missed the very important point of why India was left poor. It is because Britain looted India for 250 years, destroyed the local economy to it's roots, broke the traditional education system which was much more advanced than any other country. Books burnt down, temples destroyed, people were treated as slaves. They did everything to reduce it to ashes, but what they don't know is we are like Phoenix which can rise from ashes.Some people say Brits left long back, yet India is still poor, the reason is, it is broken in all ways to such an extent that it really need lot of time to rebuild from scratch.
The Indians had far bigger population than the British they were complicit in helping the British take over India
First mughals now britishers who destroyed indian temples
Remember btitishers had territories in srulanka, hongkong, malaysia, singapore etc
They all are doing well

@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 It is not about possessing territories, it is what they did to them.. The damage done to India by Brits is incomparable.
India bcos of Hinduism is ruined by its casteism and racism.

Every Indian is racist against his own community..
Unless this changes India can never improve
I read thru the comments, i realised most Indians
cannot take criticism. Some facts are stated. And they just can't accept it.
The keys to improvement?
Education.
Remove caste system.
Unite with one language.
Unite as a team, as a community, as a country.
India has great minds. The next 20 years we will probably witness the rise of india.
Education? Ok
Remove caste system? Hmm not gonna happen anytime soon. Btw fuck this caste system and reservation bullshit 🗿
Unite with one language? Never gonna happen with Hindi but with English it is possible
To achieve the fourth point the right mindset and discipline should be needed which is not there and won't be 🤡
Rise of india? It's one of poorest countries in world
Even after 200 years it will remain the same
It has most starving people most slum dwelling people least infrastructure most illeterate people
If India grows by just 5-6% per year it will have a gdp on par with the USA in 2050.
India has historically grown faster than that on average for the past few decades, so its likely India is indeed on the rise, even with modest growth rates for a developing country
Below are the reasons:
-superstitions
-lack of good quality education
-casteism and division among people
-unwise and incapable political leadership
-low freedom of press
-religious extremism
-improper election system.. India has election festival throughout the year.
-less gdp contribution to education sector

@@vivekvs9678 Thank u Vivek.
@@vivekvs9678 actually, you're half right. Your points 2,4, and the last one are reasons. Its not really the money the British looted from India..its the mindset that was hammered into the very first politicians by them. The first few politicians of free India were very influenced by the British. They picked up the model of exploitation directly from them.
You may not know this, but the education system of India is actually designed by the British to enslave India. While China, Korea, etc. changed their education systems, *India did not*. This is the biggest problem in our development.
Now enough blaming the British, look into ourselves. We are masochistic by nature. We've turned politicians into heroes. Political parties use freedom fighters who died 150 years ago as symbols. *This hero worship is another reason*.
Another problem is democracy. This may be controversial but hear me out. Out of the countries you mentioned, *China and Korea are both authoritarian*, while Japan has a rigid societal system that makes its society one of the most disciplined in the world. *India's democracy is not like the West.* Remember, Democracy is a western system. It's designed for western society. India was at it's best when the Gupta Kings ruled. Todays Indian "democracy" is just a fake thing that exists to fill politicians pockets. Hence I believe that a very educated person, preferably with a modern outlook, should rule India as a authoritarian for 25-30 years.
To quote the man who made Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew : *With a few exceptions, western democracy has provided no benefit to Asia.*
Remember, this is the guy who advised China when it was poor.
Fun fact:
Poverty in India is based on less than 2.15$ which is 11% while in pakistan its based on 3.65$ which is 37% but 45% of Indians earn less than 3.65$ and only 10% of pakistan earn less than 2.15$
Source: list of countries by poverty rate Wikipedia
Let's not forget before British invaded India, India was more divided by regions and people. The Zamindari system kept people poor and only handful of people were well off. British abolished this cruel system. British didn't loot directly from common people. They looted through high taxes and kingdoms. India wasn't a very well off nation before British because Indian rulers and practices kept the people poor. The caste system and regional difference was more intense before British. Let's not blame them for making India poor. Blame Indian rulers who were doing all this before British arrives and shook hands with them after their arrival and got stabbed back.
If Indian rulers, Kings really cared about their people this won't happen in such a drastic way.
British left after giving railways, roads . Indians could have focused on industrialization but no they were so close minded and afraid of changes that they decided to live like the way they are living. In present also, Indians are very cheap to maintain hygiene and cleanliness. Countries poorer than India are still clean because poverty doesn't have to do anything with the cleanliness. I feel somewhere the religion Hinduism encourages people to litter like throwing dead bodies in the river, offerings in the river, caste system that only certain individuals are allowed to clean everyone's dirt.
Thanks for the interesting talk. However, I am surprised that you made no mention of the rampant corruption that perfuses all levels of Indian society. That must put something of a drag on the economy.

I do believe that the British are responsible for the country India that we know today. Before the british came, India was a bunch of independent kingdoms who often fought one another. If we did not have the British, we would not have been part of a common freedom struggle. We would have not had roads and railway networks that unify us. Even today English language unifies the entire country in a way that Hindi does not. Indian railways is the only thing that looks and feels the same across the entire country. For all the bad things that they have done, if not for the British colonial period, India as we know it would not have existed. Instead each of our states would have been independent. Tamil Nadu literally means "Tamil country" why would it want to be a part of India? Similarly same logic applies to other states. None of them would have wanted to accept each other's language over them and we would never have been united by Home Minister Sardarji or the Indian Army.
Speaking of the Indian Army, did you know that our Indian Army was also built unit by unit by the British? There is a show on netflix called "Regiment Diaries" which speaks about some of the oldest units in the Army and how they came to be. I found it quite fascinating that most units were actually raised by the British.
Our schools have done a good job of brainwashing us that we were united before the British came and the British policy of "Divide and rule" is responsible for all our divisions, but for the most part we were pretty divided even before the British came. And for the first time in history all of modern India actually had something to bond over and live as one united country. Now you can see how my comment is related to your original comment. Cheers!
There's also an important but inconvenience aspect of this problem: working culture. I've been to India several times, and I've noticed that the quality of their services are very low and the workers seem less disciplined than other countries. It's like the opposite of Japan.
Did you miss the part when that was their way of getting rid of the oppressors? Probably took a couple of generations, so no wonder these people are not highly motivated.
It's gonna sound cruel, but I think you got away easy with the nukes ending WWII, at least the world felt like you needed support to plant your feet again. India was left to slowly wither like a dumpster robbed of any valuable things already.
compare india to vietnam or malaysia or thailand?
@@sreenidhikrishnan8332 what he said was completely true. If you can't digest the truth then eat a Hajmola. Have a visit to Japan to see what discipline actually is. He is not bad mouthing our country, he is just stating facts, and one of the biggest reason is the government's negligence to local craftsmanship and handicrafts.
@@Illlium not to mention the bad pr from "Ew roadside shitters toiletless land" and "Ew poor people, uncivilised tribals Ew". We got did extremely dirty.

To so overidentify who you are with where you were born (which you had no say in, no control over)...and to try to link to any of its success, math or science...as if it means anything about you, is an ego grab. For sure.
To get stuck on thinking your country is the best, simply because you live (d) there...is immature at best. It lacks awareness, and a true big picture view.
None of us is special, due to where we were born. That’s a fallacy, an ego game.
We cling to things like that, in order to feel significant. You’re human. It really shouldn’t increase or decrease your value, depending on where you came from.
Now...on to the claim that “India is the country that has contributed the most to the field of math and science”.
First, there is not one solitary “field” of math and science!! There are various fields, so many different disciplines in the FIELDS of math and science.
Next, that’s a preposterous claim. While India has indeed contributed to various disciplines within the fields of math and science...to claim its the country that has contributed most, is myopic and obtuse.
Many countries have contributed. The wisest among those in specialities collaborate with others to expand upon and increase their knowledge and skill.
Many countries have incredible contributions, which have been the building blocks for others (often from other countries) to further disciplines along. No man is an island. Rare is the country untouched by influence of others. It’s like a multidimensional, multifaceted web of connections. To make such an arrogant/ignorant claim...is to be childlike and trying to make things simple in order to make sense of complex things.
Your paradigm is informed by deep biases and narratives...with ego at the center. I challenge you to challenge your conditioned thinking...examine who you are (you aren’t your country...but merely a human, a spiritual being, who is grasping to limiting concepts).
Reach beyond the self sabotaging thinking.
Own your issues and problems and do something about it! Too many people on here with a victim mentality! Plenty of countries are doing very well after colonialism, grow up and grow your economy and eradicate poverty!
India isn’t poor. It’s just landed a module on the moon’s south pole. A country that can afford to do that clearly isn’t going short of money.

Ahh yes doing a space mission but totally ignoring the poverty, hygiene and wars in north east, no 1 country india 👍
North Korea has a satellite!!
The army of the british raj was not an all european force. For reference , in ww2 the British Indian army was the largest all volunteer army in the world with more than 2 million soldiers. This huge colonial army was used by the British in Afghanistan , Malaysia, Middle East and Africa for their colonial adventures. You appear to be are underplaying their role in the first part of the video. I think it could have been worded better
Well white supremacy is the worldview of the world. As they say the victor writes history. And napoleon said. History is a lie agreed upon
@@Strawhalo History is not written bY the victors . We have historiography for this purpose.
I guess its needless to say cuz all the colonial countries were part of British empire...
so in history they were British Army with different origin
@@riyazknightnebulous which is full of propaganda just like this video
@@riyazknightnebulous Sorry to break it to you, but the victors are the only ones left that can leave evidence behind, that's what it means. If i shoot an animal and destroy all remnants of its body, the animal can't tell anyone i murdered it and there's no body for you to learn exactly how i did it. That's why a lot of colonies that experienced genocide have almost no history left unless the killers document it themselves. Erase the language, destroy the artefacts. Done.
The Indian map is wrong in your video. Kashmir is a part of India
No it isnt
Indian propaganda
They spent all their money watching Bollywood and the crickets.
and spending time to going temple/mosque praying but god give you nothing
That pours more money into the economy though, so goes against your logic.
@ONEISALL-s2r im speak english better than american,british ppl u just trying to be jealous of me 😎🇮🇳🗿
Makes a video on India
Indians: we've been invited 🙏
😂😂
Without ticket just like eating in someone's marriage
Dumb comment. If he makes video on india, indians WOULD watch it. What are you trying to say?
🇨🇳🇮🇳
@@WoBuXihuan 👍. I like china from india :)
Points that you missed -
S. Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam were or still are dictatorships which makes it very easy to bring in economic reforms whereas in india due to democracy every government finds it difficult to pass good but unpopular reforms.
@Cloud Smiles they were and if you doubt that please check
Country, vast as India there is no chance disctatoship can thrive. You can see modi, he's one dictator.. I know I know, we are democrat country, I know that. But it's more likely dictatorship and you can clearly see it, even after having a dictator.. it's so difficult to handle so many people with so many different thought process.
remeber when modi tried to remove the reservation system but the people just started destrying national properties like rails a train turned over on it self becoause of that my mother almost died coz she was on there too.
@@AshishSharma-zp9nw I want to know more?
@@XxelitedeathwalkerxX___ until this day u do not have reserv system application? even you have so many unicorn?
No toilets
Wow he didn't mention how they did partition and bengal genocide
