BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.

Damn...they even stole our voice
💀
😂 You are obviously the type who steals from the retired people and old ladies yon pathetic call center scammer!
Due to what reasons Britain was forced to leave India, this subject was discussed in detail with Attlee.
I asked them directly that "The Quit India Movement started by Gandhiji in 1942 was losing its edge.
There is no other reason in 1947 ?
What was the reason that suddenly the British government decided to free India ?
In response, Attlee gave many reasons, but the most important of them was the British in the Indian Army and the Navy ...
Growing dissatisfaction with the government and breathlessness. The main reason for increasing this distrust was the Indian National Army of Subhas Chandra Bose.
I asked Attlee at the end of the discussion how much influence Gandhiji had in the decision to liberate India ?
After listening to this Attlee taunted softly and said '
[ m - i - n - i - m - a - I ] .
-: Justice PB Chakraborty(Chief Justice of Calcutta)
Source: Bose: An Indian Samurai
its true that in the end gandhiji had minimal influence, but his effort was moral and aimed at the subconscious of people. When he started doing what he did, his aim was to bring justice to people his aim was never to overthrow the brits.
Subhash chandra bose Called Mahatma Gandhi.. The Father of the Nation.
India will always regret british rule
And because of world war 2 also
This is nonsense, Attlee never said that. That raving lunatic Bakshi made it up, he doesn't provide a source that supports this anecdote.
Bose- पहेली फुर्सत में निकल
Bose :- जापानी भाइयों आ जाओ,,ब्रिटेन को भगाते हैं
Japani:- एक बार इंडिया में घुस जाऊं फिर चुन चुन के बर्बाद करूंगा भारत को . जैसा बाकी देशों के साथ मैने किया
Beautiful speech 😑
🤣🤣
Lmao 🤣
Picture mila raha hai na ye he kafi hai 🤣🥺
Oo Bhai 😂😂
😂
712ad से लेकर 1947 तक भारत की आखिरकार थोड़ी बहुत आज़ादी मिली, भारत एक ऐसा देश है जिस पर सबसे ज्यादा बाहरी देशों ने हमला किया लुटा
Mumbai gate and hotels are still there now, amazing
Amazing
Left behind many marvelous things and above all a full fletched country with all necessary infrastructure.
Left india with no money divide it and destroyed millions life looted 45 trillions are u dumb to say that ?
With a starving country
full fledged country? all necessary infrastructure?
they didnt force you to breed like rabbits, more people more hungry@@SavitarKKSR
It took a generation to recover
So after loosing india British became speech less
Brits be like, "that was a good loot. Thank you, later!"
There was no “loot” you Indien scammer!
Thanks for the jewels guys
np
@@ArqadeGamer0903 I was joking btw thanks for being a good sport unlike most of this comment section 🇬🇧🤝🏻🇮🇳
@@Britannia7 love u guys
the jewels were cursed that’s why UK is on a decline
At least there was goodwill among Indian people while sending them off. Despite centuries of subjugation, I don't see enmity against each other.
Because back then, everybody knew that the British developed India. Now everybody is brainwashed against the British
@@orionfernandes4587looted every possible thing and made railways...
Maybe your Indian version of history isn't as accurate
Well the british did help unite the sub-continent while also industrializing india to some extent
@@heptex8989 kaheka goodwill... lakho margayee.. they dont even care about the femine and we poor indians still living in mental slavery !! such a pity !! shame !

Abe saale
Germany kicked their asses and they found themselves in critical situation...it's the one reason they give independence to india
The only reason why Indians got independence but sadly brown coolie historians have different ideas
What about Netaji 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
@@parasharchoudhuryyeah netaji contributed a lot
@@Renfujjilike what exactly?
Before WW2, britain wanted to give india independence. Germany contributed to the late independence of india. The british wanted troops and weapons to fight and given india's soldiers and weaponary, the indian army supported the brithish. Also, not confirmed if this is actually true, but the british empire thought that india will join the axis powers.
I wish 🥺 Atleast some had stayed back...
Somer set light infentry
Left after looting everything possible!
indians are poorer now as independent than if they were under the british raj, interesting. don't come crawling back in 20 years...
Be grateful the British created your country, built infrastructure, British model to your trained Indian army and education

The British are failing at governing themselves, you think they could rule India?
That's called Stockholm syndrome. Consult a doctor
Rishi Sunak is governing them now.
It will never happen again
