Jagraj Singh should always be remembered how he was in this video. A true Sikh in his prime, powerful in presence and humble in his replies. If ever we needed an exemplary example of what we Sikhs should aspire to this is it. I hope he is at one now with Waheguru Ji. Thank you for waking us up to the glory of our Sikh heritage and past Jagraj Singh!
Balraj Bains ...how can that lalwani idiot call British empire a civilizing mission.....BC was the empire an NGO.....what was civilizing about the Jallianwala bagh massacre .......that too on a community which had shown so much valor in battle of sargarhi
@Balraj I’m really sad to read Jagraj Singh has passed away. Too young to have gone. May God rest his soul. I’m a Muslim. I watched his Y Tube video debating with Muslim guys (think Ali Dawa) at Speakers Corner in London. The eloquence and humanity Jagraj conveyed whilst conveying the message of Sikhism truly impressed me. His message of Sikhi made me like the teachings of Sikhism. I’ve not converted but have established a new found understanding and appreciation for Sikhi.
I'm just a white English guy (with a bit of Irish in me as well) and I'm not a Sikh but I wanted to say one thing. I have total love and respect for the Sikhs. I visited a Sikh temple and was warmly welcomed, offered food and the people were so kind, humble and warm. I love you guys for your contribution to the UK, your peaceful way of life and the warmth that Sikhs exude. I won't get into other religions but when it comes to Sikhs they put into action what they say and they feed the homeless and do a tremendous amount of good for the UK. Thank you and we recognise what you do and thank you for it. Well that's what I wanted to say and thanks for listening. From Dan❤
🚩🇮🇳🪔👌🙏✊🪔🇮🇳🚩 The extent of education in all of India in 1947 was between 10 to 15%. Average life expectancy was below 30 yrs of age. And the whole country was drained to the bone supporting 2 world wars, which were not even remotely related to us. Indians went to fight for food, their families got a few shillings by putting their lives on the line. 1/3 of all the British army that fought around the world in a deeply discriminating army was Indian & large large part of them went missing, died in unknown places. All of Europe except UK, all of China, South Korea & Japan & Russia do not need English to progress. While on the other hand Africa, South America, India grow very slowly because they adopted the colonizers language in to studying Science & Maths which need better understanding of concepts. Sati & Caste & Johar are neither part of Hindu scriptures, nor of normal human lives up untill 1200AD. They came into existence from the Delhi sultanat & thereafter when the invading armies would rape even dead bodies & society was run by subjugation and slave trade. Historically there is hardly a handful of recorded cases of Sati. India even though it was divided into different princely states, had a common social & cultural fabric. People of all kinds of beliefs lived together without fighting over belief systems, so we knew democracy long long before these wetserners could ever think of liberating others. Real Decolonization would be decolonizing peoples minds. If the British left the country to a bunch of thugs who sucked up to them and supported their interests in running those companies that they still held in those colonies, you could never achieve that, things go from worse to worst...est. And that sick old man is certainly not Sikh. He sold Jallianwala baug, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpatrai to a cosy job, few pounds & citizenship.

Sikhs and parsis are minorities here in india but they hv tremendous contribution to the society... u must be an illiterate racist to say such things !!!!

England is a nation of idol worshipers. God said, "Neither Adulterers, Fornicators, Homosexuals, liars, thieves, gossipers, murderers, blasphemers, usurpers, or idol worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God set down laws, teachings & judgments depicting what was allowed & what was forbidden. Man was told to 'choose' whom he would serve between good or evil. Sin is not OF God, but sin is OF evil; evil will not be allowed in eternal Heaven. God put his laws into every man's heart, therefore, everyone born on earth 'knows' good from evil, they only pretend that they don't. Christ's entire purpose was to remove man's sin nature & teach him to let go of living out the lies of the world by thinking, speaking, & doing the things AS they are done in Heaven, not AS they are done in Hell. When man rejects God's teachings, laws & judgments, he is 'choosing' to embrace the contradictions of Satin by worshiping in the kingdom of Evil. It's a CHOICE.
I wish that this sort of brotherhood and debate could have prevailed back then. The world today would be a heaven for us. Loved the show, discussion, openess of accepting the good and bad. Above all the professionalism with which the host invited his guest for the talks.
Please people don't seem to understand something they always blame British/white culture this is not the answer.. (yes I'm white but please go ahead and read anyway) British culture is the only culture that is all about competition we do it to ourselves we do not act together as one culture among ourselves we only appear as one culture to outside cultures as they themselves could not imagine us being separate as we act so similar from their perspectives, and that every other culture is mostly inclusive of people in its own culture and less competitive among themselves, that is why they refer to us as one culture even though we see ourselves (white/wester/British culture whatever you want to call it) as all separate people, which in fact are, but we also have our own culture we are somewhat blind to and this is just because not that friendly among each other either haha! As perhaps some other cultures might encourage rather we go more towards competitive cabalism with schooling systems for example etc etc..colonialism See this competitive culture is one of our cultures biggest weakness (and yes this is an attribute of our culture but not the whole thing like we also contribute a lot of important things and good qualities and have many good people among us, but it is an invisible culture to us, call it western culture whatever its not just white) Who knows how this competitive nature started or why it is part of this culture only thing that matters is don't feel guilty because our family history is linked whatever (we did not choose where we were born after all this is not our fault) but acknowledge it as a problem, and a problem this culture that we are a part of now has done and acted like in the past; like the lady said in the video. And may I add to this point that it is we should be HUMBLE and be able to HUMBLE ourselves in every way may I add, (this is for everyone not just our culture but especially for people with a competitive nature like is common in these cultures) and we should work together to do this and on ourselves alone for each has his/her own responsibility of his/her own for themselves! For no one should blame themselves or feel guilty for what they cannot control but to it is important for our culture and for everyone be strong enough to accept acknowledgement (especially this predominantly white / western culture (that I was personally born in)) and then MOVE ON one step at a time and start with small changes like giving queens diamond back to where it originated from and moving on one small change at a time like this hopefully everything moves towards unity after some time even though it may look chaotic to begin with because the only real truth at the end of the day it ONE LOVE. Everything comes after that like respect parents, elders, treat neighbour as thyself and respect religion, for why they were originally created not just how they are/were used, always see the good in people, have good morals, be humble patient, give yourself the benefit of the doubt, learn to forgive, believe in god, possibly follow a religion to help you with this and develop your faith / belonging etc etc etc We were all born with a certain amount of goodness inside of us and morals it is society that changes us but it must start from the ground up one small step at a time :)
Thank you. So true! Yes, he has passed, but thank God and goodness he is so available here at Basics of Sikhi. As a Wannabe Sikh, I think of him as my good friend and teacher. A fine example of the modern day Kalsa warrior saint!
British Empire did do a lot of good... good for their own people using the blood and suffering and lives of others. The railways were only built to transport goods from India to the UK. The Universities were only built to educate a small number of people in English in order to help with translation and governance of the country. Every so-called good thing they left in their departure is only because they couldn't take it with them, and the fact that it is has helped the country is much to the credit of the country's population for making use of them. It is absolutely ridiculous to call teaching people English as an achievement. Why, is English such a great language? If China invaded the UK tomorrow, forced everyone to learn Chinese, tortured, abused, and maimed them for almost two centuries, and went back to their countries and proudly declared teaching Chinese as an achievement, can there be anything more twisted? The exact same thing is true about supposedly decreasing social tensions in the countries by bringing the different people together, because they only did that in order to fight the empire off. It is like if two friends are having disagreements and problems in their relationship, and I come try to kill them with a knife, and they work together to drive me off, would they be grateful to me for helping them look past their differences? It is completely ridiculous. Nobody is calling for the current British people to feel guilty and apologise for the mistakes of their predecessors, but not being proud of an Empire built on blood, and teaching children proper history in school would be a better way to live to stop history repeating itself. Every empire has a bloody history no doubt, but people aren't proud of every empire and calling it a force for good.
I watched this the whole way through and i've come to the conclusion that the British empire was a force of good , the world world be worse off if there wasn't an empire
Genocidal, warmongering Britain is arguably the most evil nation/union/kingdom in the history of the world. BRITAIN HAS COMMITTED GENOCIDES ACROSS FIVE CONTINENTS (from neighbouring Ireland in Europe to North America to Africa to Asia to Oceania), a fact they shamelessly continue to deny. Britain has commited so many crimes against humanity (and crimes against the planet), it would take several volumes of books to explain their countless acts of cruelty. Britain (and it's predecessor state) has committed multiple genocides in neighbouring Ireland, from the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland to the Great Irish famine/genocide to the murdering and torturing of Irish Republicans by the Black and Tans to murdering innocent civilians in the Dublin Monaghan bombings and the civilians gunned down in two Bloody Sundays in Ireland (google all of it). Britain was the second largest enslaver in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, a trade which resulted in the deaths of millions of African slaves as they were treated like cattle and worked to near death. Britain abolished slavery after paying reparations not to the slaves but to the slave owners!!!. Britain continued with slavery in another name with indentured labour, where the plight of the labourers was no better than that of the slaves. Britain maintained concentration camps in the Boer War where tens of thousands of men, women and children perished (google 'Boer war concentration camp'). Britain committed genocide in the 1950s in Kenya (google 'Caroline Elkins Imperial Reckoning'). In addition to committing slavery and genocide in Africa, Britain looted the resources of several African countries and stole away countless valuable artefacts, artefacts which the British Museum shamelessly continues to possess. During their rule in India, Britain siphoned off 45 trillions dollars in today's money (watch the VICE video on it). Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Indian rebels were tortured and murdered in the aftermath of the 1857 war of independence (entire rebel towns were 'cleansed'). Tens of millions of Indians starved to death during the dozens of famines as the inhumane British rulers looked away. In modern day Sri Lanka, in the aftermath of the Uva rebellion, the entire male population was put to death (google 'Uva rebellion'). The Bengal Famine of 1943 was genocide committed by a genocidal racist bastard called Winston Churchill (google 'Madhushree Mukherjee Churchill's Secret War'). The British murdered countless innocent civilians in massacres like Jallianwala Bagh massacre, Quissa Khwani Bazaar massacre, Pathorughat Massacre (google them all; these are the ones we know of, imagine the countless massacres Britain destroyed all records of). British forces murdered tens of thousands of Indians during the Quit India movement. In China, Britain fought the Opium Wars. Britain also used 'divide and rule' to turn different groups against each other. Btw, all the railways, ports, infrastructure Britain built in India were to help them transport the resources it stole. Britain committed genocide in North America (google 'small pox infected blanket). Britain committed genocide in Oceania (google 'British genocide in Australia'). If you thought that was all in the distant past, think of the Iraq War in 2003 twenty years ago where the UK illegally invaded and killed thousands of Iraqis. Also think of the bombing of Libya by British warplanes, the funding of Al Nusra by Britain (google 'Britain Al Nusra'). Britain is a shameless, genocidal, warmongering nation that continues to deny, deflect and obfuscate it's countless crimes against humanity.
The British Empire literally abolished slavery in most of the world. Absolutely idiotic nonsense they never did anything good lmao. The main task of the royal navy for half century was to literally patrol the African coast to catch slave traders christ. Few things should make you feel proud of any nation/empire, but spearheading the effort to stop the global slavery, something that had NEVER been done before, is something the British should be immensely proud of.
Why were they all interupting while Jagraj was speaking? He was being respectful and let the others speak even though their views on the sikh empire were false.
it hurts thier empire ego when someone speak bitter truth about harsh reality i also notice that they aren't giving chance him to speak continuously. hitler was also can't capable to comparison to this brutle people.

@@Teadon86 haha mate it was the biggest University in Asia and included records on algebra , decimal system and also cosmic science etc , by your logic St Xavier's University isn't a university just because it's religious?
@@chromatron5230 Sigh. Why do people like you bite? The first true university was founded in Europe. Before this European institution, there was something that arguable can be defined as universities and those were often private institutions maintained and administrated by one head figure, a scholar or learned individual - such as the Islamic madrasas. However, before this type of institution, in Europe, there already existed communities of scholars, especially in Greece and Italy, that held public sessions and openly discussed the natural philosophies. They also hold private lessons to anyone rich enough to afford it or intelligent enough to warrant providing free tutelage. This means that a university can be any person considered learned/gifted who teaches others. This includes shamans and mystics. This is why I scoff at the notion that some soon-to-be-slaughtered-for-almost-a-thousand-years Indian scholars are the first true university professors when the loose concept used to justify this dumb notion allows the inclusions of pure-bred retards to be seen by contemporary man as university professors of their time. Maybe that is the ticket allowing such an absurd understanding: " . . . of their time." By the way, you know nothing about the many origins of algebra, nor do you know that the algebra we use today was developed in Europe. You do not know the different types of algebra and why this matters to the claim of who's the originator. I'm sure you're dumb enough to argue that just because some ancient civilizations outside of Europe had simple toys that could 'fly' they invented the airplane or proved the concept of flight. Like that Chinese maniac who blew himself to pieces but did achieve a short flight before fertilizing the field that was so undignifiedly covered in human chunks. Or maybe you'd argue that the kite is the proof of concept and therefore it is legitimate to argue that the first Chinese kitemaker is the father/mother of flight. But then, what is there to deny the claim that the first European who fell down a cliff and his/her clothing interacting with the air created enough drag to slow them down so they survived the drop was the originator behind the proof of concept? Nothing. This is why one should be very careful before they go about claiming in a frenzy who's the originator. Cosmic science? What? I can define a lot as "cosmic science". People across the globe have studied the stars, used them for navigation, named them, tried to calculate their sizes, their distances, and so on - this means that the Vikings were studying "cosmic sciences" when they navigated by the stars and made stories about them. Since cosmology and astrology are so broad in their origin, and how one can tie archeological evidence to either of these sciences, this means that bone fragments with etchings showing lines and dots are enough to attribute as a study in either or both these fields. This means that cosmology can be whatever bullshit religious story to explain everything. So whatever, call your bullshit stories astrology and cosmology if it makes you feel good. Although, you have to ignore the Nebra sky disk found in Northern Europe as the first true example of a study in astrology and it is also the oldest depiction of cosmos. Neither do you care for how each culture developed and treated these two subjects; some culture's understanding and development of these two subjects were practical, some were mystical, and some intellectual. The concept of a decimal system is not new to Europe, this is because Europeans have hands with ten fingers (the last should be considered a pleonasm). Not even back when Arabs and other types of non-Europeans were slaughtering and enslaving Europeans, and accidentally introduced new symbols and reintroducing old concepts, this concept was new. In Europe, there existed abstract decimal systems but they did not use the concept of zero as the Indians or Chinese did; instead, Europeans debated the role and use of the zero in a mathematical system, how to represent it and why. What this led to was very cumbersome mathematical representations of zero, if it was used at all. Arguably, the first true origin of the concept of zero we use today is from China, about 1400BC, by using bamboo sticks. St Xavier's University is based on the modern university system. Not even missing the mark, are we?

Chintan well your first comment was dead just a meaningless statement so I gave my stance to see why you commented about Khalistan like it’s a bad thing
@@kurransingh7436 Do you support Khalistan as separate country? Or Do you desire some special rights from the Indian constitution? Please elaborate on that.
Just Random Human A khalistan that is it’s own self governed state it would be ideal if it was still part of india just like Vatican and Italy but the way Indian government has treated Punjab and it’s people having a special agenda when it comes to people protesting peacefully asking for the constitution to be followed and to stop oppressing punjabi language then the Police get violent and the media get into propaganda mode and even before and after 1980s it’s clear the government will continue to politically and culturally oppress Sikhs so the only viable option is for Khalistan to be its own nation I hope this is elaborated enough for you

Jagraj Singh as always is spot on in his analysis. He is their to give the perspective of Indians, wise to the colonial narrative. Remember it’s the winners and rulers who write the history and they do that in away that shows them in the best light. Jagraj’s understanding of Sikhi in my opinion is near perfect. I would suggest that anybody wanting an understanding of Sikhi refer to his legacy.

And that sick old man is certainly not Sikh. He sold Jallianwala baug, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpatrai to a cosy job, few pounds & citizenship. And the British education system & Communists have successfully created a huge bunch of those apologetic_inferiority_complex colonized minds. 🚩🇮🇳🪔 👌🙏✊ 🪔🇮🇳🚩
Just clicked on the video, not watched it yet.... but let me guess. The sikhs are good as gold and hold themselfs with honour and respect. A wonderful example of british values of free religion and welcoming other beneficial cultures to assimilate into our own. Who don't love the sikhs? ❤
Ignorance prevails ! They have'nt read about the Sikh ideology & the Gurus. The sikh Gurus criticized & abolished the social evils like Sati system & Female infanticide much before the british came in. And now the Brits want credit for it. The education system was designed to produce indians who would look down upon their own people, look up to the british & benefit only them. The sikh gentleman on the left is such a product. Indian vernacular languages were pushed in the background in favour of English. Macaulay - the man behind it had the audacity to announce in the british parliament that all the native literature in Arabic & sanskrit was worth less than the books in the most paltry preperatory school in England. All the "great" infrastucture was installed for a more effective exploitation of the Indian mineral wealth. And now they want us to be proud of the empire.
I'm from a former French colony, my ancestors fought a bloody war for our independant, but I must admit, if my country managed to build an empire like the Brits did, I would brag about in whole day lol, with the little land my ancestors conquered, people are already very proud.
Propaganda. Only few hundred satis occurred as per British records themselves. They are over inflating these topics to demonize and dehumanization of Hindus and Hinduism
Why the hell no body told them that it was Raj Rammohan roy who dedicated his whole life to abolish sati , Iswar chand vidyasagar devoted whole life for widow remmarige , what the hell british raj has to to with these social reforms , just making legislations would have not materlized without movement which was largly by the indian , for the indians.
England is a nation of idol worshipers. God said, "Neither Adulterers, Fornicators, Homosexuals, liars, thieves, gossipers, murderers, blasphemers, usurpers, or idol worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God set down laws, teachings & judgments depicting what was allowed & what was forbidden. Man was told to 'choose' whom he would serve between good or evil. Sin is not OF God, but sin is OF evil; evil will not be allowed in eternal Heaven. God put his laws into every man's heart, therefore, everyone born on earth 'knows' good from evil, they only pretend that they don't. Christ's entire purpose was to remove man's sin nature & teach him to let go of living out the lies of the world by thinking, speaking, & doing the things AS they are done in Heaven, not AS they are done in Hell. When man rejects God's teachings, laws & judgments, he is 'choosing' to embrace the contradictions of Satin by worshiping in the kingdom of Evil. It's a CHOICE.
Please people don't seem to understand something they always blame British/white culture this is not the answer.. (yes I'm white but please go ahead and read anyway) British culture is the only culture that is all about competition we do it to ourselves we do not act together as one culture among ourselves we only appear as one culture to outside cultures as they themselves could not imagine us being separate as we act so similar from their perspectives, and that every other culture is mostly inclusive of people in its own culture and less competitive among themselves, that is why they refer to us as one culture even though we see ourselves (white/wester/British culture whatever you want to call it) as all separate people, which in fact are, but we also have our own culture we are somewhat blind to and this is just because we are not that friendly among each other either haha! As perhaps some other cultures might encourage rather we go more towards competitive cabalism with schooling systems for example etc etc..colonialism See this competitive culture is one of our cultures biggest weakness (and yes this is an attribute of our culture but not the whole thing like we also contribute a lot of important things and good qualities and have many good people among us, but it is an invisible culture to us, call it western culture whatever its not just white) Who knows how this competitive nature started or why it is part of this culture only thing that matters is don't feel guilty because our family history is linked whatever (we did not choose where we were born after all this is not our fault) but acknowledge it as a problem, and a problem this culture that we are a part of now has done and acted like in the past; like the lady said in the video. And may I add to this point that it is we should be HUMBLE and be able to HUMBLE ourselves in every way may I add, (this is for everyone not just our culture but especially for people with a competitive nature like is common in these cultures) and we should work together to do this and on ourselves alone for each has his/her own responsibility of his/her own for themselves! For no one should blame themselves or feel guilty for what they cannot control but to it is important for our culture and for everyone be strong enough to accept acknowledgement (especially this predominantly white / western culture (that I was personally born in)) and then MOVE ON one step at a time and start with small changes like giving queens diamond back to where it originated from and moving on one small change at a time like this hopefully everything moves towards unity after some time even though it may look chaotic to begin with because the only real truth at the end of the day it ONE LOVE. Everything comes after that like respect parents, elders, treat neighbour as thyself and respect religion, for why they were originally created not just how they are/were used, always see the good in people, have good morals, be humble patient, give yourself the benefit of the doubt, learn to forgive, believe in god, possibly follow a religion to help you with this and develop your faith / belonging etc etc etc We were all born with a certain amount of goodness inside of us and morals it is society that changes us but it must start from the ground up one small step at a time :) :)

@@alenp5282 🚩🇮🇳🪔👌🙏✊🪔🇮🇳🚩 The extent of education in all of India in 1947 was between 10 to 15%. Average life expectancy was below 30 yrs of age. And the whole country was drained to the bone supporting 2 world wars, which were not even remotely related to us. Indians went to fight for food, their families got a few shillings by putting their lives on the line. 1/3 of all the British army that fought around the world in a deeply discriminating army was Indian & large large part of them went missing, died in unknown places. And of course they could not pull out the railway lines, take away the railway boggies & post offices when they left. Whatever social policing acts they might have put in place was the relentless efforts of Indians and also a large part of it was exaggerated propaganda to hide or justify their loot & genocides & forcibly closing local industries to sell their own goods. All of Europe except UK, all of China, South Korea & Japan & Russia do not need English to progress. While on the other hand Africa, South America, India grow very slowly because they adopted the colonizers language in to studying Science & Maths which need better understanding of concepts. Sati & Caste & Johar are neither part of Hindu scriptures, nor of normal human lives up untill 1200AD. They came into existence from the Delhi sultanat & thereafter when the invading armies would rape even dead bodies & society was run by subjugation and slave trade.

Nerve Honour british killed 1000s of innocents punjabis in 1919 jalyawala bagh and talking about democracy shutup, Guru Nanakdev ji is a person who stopped sati pratha in india, Guru Nanakdev sahib said why you speak wrong about her who gives birth to kings and saints without her there is no life, the time when you didnt give rite of a vote to a women so please dont talk shit if you dont know anything, you are a kidnappers of small 12 years old kid and not just kidnapped also converted him to Christianity and when he met with his Mother queen Jind kaur that kid become sikh again and he was Maharaja Dulip singh son of Maharaja Ranjit singh. What about Slavery from Africans and killed Native Americans where were you like a religious, jagraj singh was not a communist, the reason is the person who speak against you become communist for you, india was a golden bird you stole every thing from india, this fuckin Dr is a puppet of yours British Empire nothing else kohinoor is a property of sikh Empire you stole that from small Prince , who was just 12 year old than waht kid knows about the value of these treasures? nothing. And you said he gifted to your queen. Conclusion is this is one sided Debate for Christians and a British empire, when someone trying to show their real face this anchors stopped him in the middle like late Brother jugraj singh.
Ravinder Singh its a one sided debate because the British empire was undoubtedly the greatest benefit to mankind of any civilization in history! For almost all history before that, global living standards and income were relatively constant then we essentially kick started the technological pathway to end all global problems. Technological advancement as we know it would not have occurred without the empires of Europe, particularly the British. You'd still be living in wood houses tilling fields, sure Indians would have a better relative standard to the world, but it would be way worse absolute standard.
Why it is not renamed a BRUTISH EMPIRE ( or a BOORISH EMPIRE) instead..thats's the most apt and accurate of all terms .. they even managed to brutalise the ... food! British food ... should simple called a brutish food. Lol
I don’t think that is true. We cannot think of them to be conditional primarily when their country was at war. Further to that, it is we who went to war with our resources expecting they will leave us and go away as a gesture of goodwill. In case you have a document in support, would be happy to read that.
I've got to give the British credit for this: when they speak about the Roman Empire's conquest of Britain, they sound grateful. Why do so few have the courage to admit the truth and say, "Thank you." To say: "Your intentions were not altruistic, but whose were? Thank you for coming to my primitive backwater of an island and bringing advancement of all kinds." I suspect this is because the British actually achieved something of their own, in part thanks to Rome. The more success India and others attain on the world stage, the more grateful they will become for all that enabled said advancement. Be glad that the suffering of your ancestors was not in vain. You now get to reap the benefit. No sugar coating of history is required to appreciate it. If we all can avoid sugar coating our own histories, avoid pretending that all hands were joined in song until the outsiders came, then we can all get over the ills of previous centuries and be grateful we live when we do (and where we do).

The old sikh guy reminds me of the character in the "legend of bhagat singh" movie, in the court room, who gave the testimony against bhagat and his comrades...
@@cockoffgewgle4993 well its more of debate between different representatives of countries affected by the British empire. This in effect doesn't need to representative. Ovs wouldn't be a good debate if it was all one nationality here.
My argument : One of the most prosperous country in the world in terms of culture money everything goes almost to bankruptcy in 200 years. Who ruled the country ---> Britishers, Who's economy grew to a next level from nothing to that big at that time Britisher's. And who suffered ? Who ordered a famine in Bengal? Who ordered to kill innocent people at jalianwala bagh? Who made India an exporter of raw materials and importer and finished goods that too British? Who took away our ancient culture and lost the great command of our languages? And don't even come to us asking they didn't had an impact on us , i am writing this message in ENGLISH. The British empire is build on our stolen money and I don't think they should be a .00001% proud of the empire...
The amount of knowledge in this debate is mind blowing!! Hats off to all the participants. The host did an excellent job leading, steering and controlling this debate throughout. Britain has by far the best television in the whole world. These debates are very respectful and fair. Sometimes I just go on a run watching such debates from British tv one after the other. Almost all of the participants had at least one good and/or justifiable point. I cracked up when the host said "the missionary position if you like, spreading.." and he started sweating and turning red🤣

Kartar Singh Leveni honestly has no information about the Sikh Raj... it was before the British Raj that under Maharaja Ranjit Singh that the caste was abolished. People from not only different social economic backgrounds were given opportunities but people of different religions were given equal rights and equal opportunities. Kartar needs to remember it was the British you stripped away the Sikh identity for almost 60 years until the early 1900's. Sikhs were not permitted to practise or wear the Kirpan for instance unless guess what... they joined the army. If the British never meddled the Sikh Empire and the Martha Empire along with the Chole Empire (along with small empires) would have been able to rule the whole continent together as the whole with peace.

That Sikh doctor was horrible. How many people died for those great thing British have India and caste is a social problem that still exists today and was there before. Racial problems existed before and still exists the British empire solved none of that. Pretty sad these people have such attitude even today.
yes caste and racial was too deep in indian society
6 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Guru Word: Unfortunately, Caste and Racial problems are still a current socially divisive and destructive element; which is ingrained- indelibly within the Psyche of the culture of the people. What would be the method in decreasing this primitiveness ?
They did not mention the fact that now due to the British empire great debates like this can be had in the heart of London. You can't have this debate in China or Russia or in Africa. British culture celebrates the opinions of Sikhs and Hindu Indians and we value the contribution they give us, it has been this way for the last 80 years!
You literally can have these conversations in those places stop speaking on other cultures you know nothing about. The British empire murdered 100 - 165 million Indians alone. Not mentioning the hundreds of millions of others.
Jagraj Singh ji......i wish you always be at gurus feet forever.... you did what a sikh is asked to do....just turn up being like the creator , as in merge with him!! A pure pure pure...natures creation !!! Loads of love Khalsa ji...miss you the most precious of precious soul!!!!!!!

you talk about countries "going their own way" which is an interesting way of describing the bloody struggle that ensued before countries managed to extricate themselves
He lied. He conflated the "theoretical practices of Sikhism" with the day to day life. British Empire did remove Sati on practical scale. Sikhism being good in theory doesn't mean all sikhs are good. Jattism, daaru culture, domestic violence were all too common in Sikh and other Indian places.
IDK how you should feel about your empire, but I am proud that as an American my forefathers broke free from British tyranny. Ty for inspiring the US Bill of Rights
miss Kaur jugraj killed by satanic forces ...as he was true soul..British destroyed Sikh empire and British was controlled by Jewish elite...who made all abrahamic religions to control world...religions are some just control
@match box The British were the most benign power to ever rule India, before handing the country over to the people as a parliamentary democracy. The Mughal expanded the caste system significantly. Shut up.
🚩🇮🇳🪔👌🙏✊🪔🇮🇳🚩 What a foolish statement .... The extent of education in all of India in 1947 was between 10 to 15%. Average life expectancy was below 30 yrs of age. And the whole country was drained to the bone supporting 2 world wars, which were not even remotely related to us. Indians went to fight for food, their families got a few shillings by putting their lives on the line. 1/3 of all the British army that fought around the world in a deeply discriminating army was Indian & large large part of them went missing, died in unknown places. All of Europe except UK, all of China, South Korea & Japan & Russia do not need English to progress. While on the other hand Africa, South America, India grow very slowly because they adopted the colonizers language in to studying Science & Maths which need better understanding of concepts. Sati & Caste & Johar are neither part of Hindu scriptures, nor of normal human lives up untill 1200AD. They came into existence from the Delhi sultanat & thereafter when the invading armies would rape even dead bodies & society was run by subjugation and slave trade. Historically there is hardly a handful of recorded cases of Sati. India even though it was divided into different princely states, had a common social & cultural fabric. People of all kinds of beliefs lived together without fighting over belief systems, so we knew democracy long long before these wetserners could ever think of liberating others. Real Decolonization would be decolonizing peoples minds. If the British left the country to a bunch of thugs who sucked up to them and supported their interests in running those companies that they still held in those colonies, you could never achieve that, things go from worse to worst...est. And that sick old man is certainly not Sikh. He sold Jallianwala baug, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpatrai to a cosy job, few pounds & citizenship. And the British education system & Communists have successfully created a huge bunch of those apologetic_inferiority_complex colonized minds. 🚩🇮🇳🪔 👌🙏✊ 🪔🇮🇳🚩

Irish fella! "Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization", etc are all evil things done by evildoers. Anglo West is major participant and benefactor of centuries-long global, - Slavery, - Colonialism, - Colonization worldwide, to this day. 🤔 For plain truths, pls read my informative multi-pages 'Ole Fella' comment on TH-cam at, "China-US tensions: A closer look at the 'Five-Eyes' intelligence partnership / CGTN".
Yes we should. It may not have been perfect, but then what society is? Overall, we left these countries far richer than when we arrived. They gained a lot.
16:30 Kartar Lalwani says it was the first time in 5000 years that all castes came together in the army. Dude you have a turban, have you heard of the Khalsa????
@@Purwapada so you won't acknowledge the mistakes? You are proud of your empire, I don't have any iota of problem, but that doesn't mean that you won't believe the second side of the coin. Yes, I agree that Britain did give the ideas of democracy and industrialisation to India. No doubt about that. But you should also acknowledge the famines, mass murders happened in India where an estimated 29 million people died. I am not making this up. It was told by your own historian. So as per my opinion, you were neither responsible for the atrocities committed nor for the good things that your ancestors have done, as you didn't had direct hands in it. So taking pride in the empire's size is good, because a tiny country with barely 70 million people were able to conquer 25% of the world. but taking prides for its action is useless as I have already mentioned before that you didn't had any direct hands in it. But sure, if I was born in Britain, I would have defended the Empire by romanticizing it like you.
@@arpanmalakar11 who said I romanticized it. I view it with neutrality, and am glad at the good and saddened by the bad. I think my position is reasonable. That is all I will say.
I don't think the English were interested in stopping Satti. they were in India to loot the place. Their only policy was,-----the only good Indian Was a died one. So to say that the English stopped it. Was a joke. You can tell that to the aliens when You meet them. Any way the Indians did not Invite to come to India to Stop satti.we send you postcards You live thousand of miles away oh came and save us we are Killing ourselves. you were total Strangers to us. Totally absurd proposition.
yes I am gay Afghanistan Pakistan hahaha that’s the a joke u were ghulam of our and British came India Pakistan Bangladesh together hahah crazy man and British were also in Afghanistan but no ruling only we killed most of them
@@harrapanman621 Wow that is very funny. I am ignorant and brainwashed ? You dont even know your own history. You wanna know how stupid you look? Ok answer this: why did you say "due to you" ? I am not even british dumbass, do you even make the difference between someone who type in english on youtube and england ? Also you might want to open a fucking history book about india. It was NEVER united. No one was strong enough to unite it, closest was the Mughal.
India was always a UNITED CIVILIZATION called Bharat. Outsider inferiors will never understand Bharat. There was no Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra or Tamil nadu (these are modern Indian states).
Unifying it didn’t help, it just assimilated people, forced languages and conflicts, imagine unifying Europe obviously the economy would be stronger in total, but it wouldn’t fix poverty, when you combine the total economies of several countries, however Europe is even less diverse than India
All I can say is I'm glad India & United Kingdom are allies. I'm proud of what Britain achieved and glad once India went Independent it went the British way of government, Largest Democracy in the World, Can't wait until India's Economy grows and it catches up with China & The U.S which it will sooner or later !!!
i agree that you can be proud of your country but what the british achieved came at a great cost for us indians. many people in the world see us as a third world country because britain had nearly stripped us of our wealth and it might take 2 centuries to grow it back. the british are benefitting from post colonial times and most of the wealth they have now is from india and i believe that you should acknowledge the past before you be proud of what your ancestors have done.

I hope Indian's realise, that during Empire the British 'people' at home had more in common with the indian farmer in India than they did with their own leaders, royals, kings and queens etc
@@jiml9856 Then you know little about the plight of Brits during Empire. It's no different today. A working class Brit has more in common with an immigrant to the UK then they do with those wiedling political or financial power who happen to share the same nationality. You give credence to 'nationality' rather than understanding the human condition. You're a typical ideologue.
The way I see it, the British Empire was extremely impressive. Like it or not we must be in awe of it. A tiny country, geographically and in terms of population, ruled a quarter of the land on earth. Alongside the countless atrocities committed by the empire there was a lot nation building. Whether we like it or not, no country on earth did more to spread democracy and end slavery than Britain. We must remember it is not fair to judge events or organisations of the past with modern values
Sati is not practiced all over India and it never ever was. Only Rajput Royal families had this tradition. Fact is British Missionaries came to India and local people revolt against them. The East India company did not want this trouble and they got order against Missionaries to come to India. The East India company was there to make quick money. The missionaries then exploited this 'Sati' issue and made case in front of British queen then, that they should be allowed to go to India and they will help solving social problems by preaching Christianity. Otherwise why British should care so much about Sati, Dalit etc.even today?
_"Sati as practice is first mentioned in 510 CCE, when a stele commemorating such an incident was erected at Eran, an ancient city in the modern state of Madhya Pradesh. The custom began to grow in popularity as evidenced by the number of stones placed to commemorate satis, particularly in southern India and amongst the higher castes of Indian society, despite the fact that the Brahmins originally condemned the practice (Auboyer 2002). Over the centuries the custom died out in the south only to become prevalent in the north, particularly in the states of Rajasthan and Bengal. While comprehensive data are lacking across India and through the ages, the British East India Company recorded that the total figure of known occurrences for the period 1813 - 1828 was 8,135; another source gives the number of 7,941 from 1815 - 1828, an average of 618 documented incidents per year. However, these numbers are likely to grossly underestimate the real number of satis as in 1823, 575 women performed sati in the state of Bengal alone (Hardgrave 1998)."_ _"As a result of being outlawed, sati began to decline in the 19th Century but persisted in parts of India, particularly Rajasthan, a state with one of the lowest literacy rates in India. Chimnabai, wife of Sayajirao Gaekwad III, Maharaja of Baroda from 1875 to 1939, was a tireless campaigner for the rights of Indian women. In 1927 in a speech at the first All-India Women's Conference she called sati a curse, but also noted that the practice no longer posed a great risk to Indian women, unlike the practices of girl-child marriage and the institution of purdah."_ kashgar.com.au/blogs/history/the-practice-of-sati-widow-burning It still takes place in India today. The British only partially succeeded in eradicating it, but at least they tried.
*"Otherwise why British should care so much about Sati, Dalit etc.even today?"* Because the British don't like the idea of making women die because their husbands have died. We kinda frown upon that sort of thing.
@@Lodatzor it doesn't takes place in India anymore ... There death penalty for anyone who practice .. where u read it still exists..show me ..I want to know
@@niteshsrivastava3122 www.rt.com/news/india-ritual-suicide-sati/ timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Why-sati-is-still-a-burning-issue/articleshow/4897797.cms articles.latimes.com/2006/dec/10/news/adfg-widows10 www.news18.com/news/buzz/dear-amish-tripathi-youre-wrong-sati-was-never-just-a-minor-practice-in-india-1924843.html There ya go.
The Sikh man (Dr) on the left is over-educated that he doesn't recognise the difference between oppression and progress anymore... Writing a book about "making of India" would only get him to see from the point of view of a slave, like the ones who built the pyramids, the same slaves that came from mud-huts... He doesn't care about the point of views of the slaves that refused to do so... The bitter old man, several in from the left, keeps bobbing and shaking his head when Jagraj comments - your typical colonial mentality that will have him take nothing but his own points of view to his grave and I can bet he will be most content with that... A comment made, that Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a leader of the Sikh religion is like saying Queen Elizabeth is the queen of Christianity. Makes us think what exactly the Pope's purpose is ?? Ranjit SIngh had all religions in his kingdom from Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians. He was even summoned to the Akal takht (The center of Sikhism) for lashes for marrying outside the Sikh religion. It is always amusing when old men with their mentality try and pass a point without seeing the need of learning something instead... THE SAME GENTLEMAN MENTIONS THAT THE KOHINOOR DOESN'T BELONG TO SIKHS OR LAHORE AND THERE WERE OTHER EMPIRES WHO OWNED IT BEFORE. WHY NOT SET AN EXAMPLE BY RETURNING IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU STOLE IT FROM AND EXPECT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN IT FROM WHERE THEY DID? WHAT ABOUT THE SIKH ARTIFACTS STOLEN FROM THE GOLDEN TEMPLE?? HOW ABOUT RETURNING THEM SINCE THEY WERENT STOLEN FROM ANYWHERE BUT WERE SIKH?? HOW ABOUT RETURNING THE BILLIONS WORTH OF RICHES STOLEN FROM RANJIT SINGH'S EMPIRE AND ANGLO-SIKH - WARS ?? HOW ABOUT THE COMPENSATION FOR THE 18TH CENTURY ATROCITIES COMMITTED IN ANGLO - SIKH WARS?? ATROCITIES AGAINST THE 1000S OF NAMDHARI SIKHS WHO WERE TIED TO CANONS AND BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS FOR HAVING ANTI-BRITISH SENTIMENTS?? HOW ABOUT SUMMONING A CRIMINAL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE COURT OR TRIBUNAL FOR THE COMMONWEALTHS WHERE HISTORIANS CAN RIP THE TRUTH OUT FOR THE BRITISH PUBLIC?? In Kenya Dedan Kimathi (a Mau mau freedom fighter) was murdered with 40 of his nearest family members and blood-line for a statement by the empire to never rise against it, ever. In New Zealand prior to the treaty of Waitangi the Maori were taken close to extinction and Maori bloodline forever deformed with British blood by mass rape. All - in - all, the British brought us nothing but misery. I speak as a New Zealander and I can assure you we were happy with our less materialistic ways of life, breathing New Zealand air, and drinking our crystal waters, before the British came and stole our land for excavation of gold, selling us their 'civilised' way of life in return... If the empire was working in progress of people, why did it have uprisings in every commonwealth country? Why is it very hard for a 50+ British man to believe that the Empire brought them riches and progress dipped in blood of it's colonies...
emmm...just a minor point....british monarchs were the head of state and religion. So yeah Elizabeth was the "Queen" of protestant Christianity in England
Jagraj Singh should always be remembered how he was in this video. A true Sikh in his prime, powerful in presence and humble in his replies. If ever we needed an exemplary example of what we Sikhs should aspire to this is it. I hope he is at one now with Waheguru Ji. Thank you for waking us up to the glory of our Sikh heritage and past Jagraj Singh!
Balraj Bains ...how can that lalwani idiot call British empire a civilizing mission.....BC was the empire an NGO.....what was civilizing about the Jallianwala bagh massacre .......that too on a community which had shown so much valor in battle of sargarhi
@Balraj I’m really sad to read Jagraj Singh has passed away. Too young to have gone. May God rest his soul. I’m a Muslim. I watched his Y Tube video debating with Muslim guys (think Ali Dawa) at Speakers Corner in London. The eloquence and humanity Jagraj conveyed whilst conveying the message of Sikhism truly impressed me. His message of Sikhi made me like the teachings of Sikhism. I’ve not converted but have established a new found understanding and appreciation for Sikhi.
+Raees Khan good to read your words..✌
yup..bhai jagraj singh...was a great human being. .always humble sensible ..
I miss his presence in this evil world.
RIP jagraj bhai.
He is dead!!! Why and how?
I'm just a white English guy (with a bit of Irish in me as well) and I'm not a Sikh but I wanted to say one thing. I have total love and respect for the Sikhs. I visited a Sikh temple and was warmly welcomed, offered food and the people were so kind, humble and warm. I love you guys for your contribution to the UK, your peaceful way of life and the warmth that Sikhs exude. I won't get into other religions but when it comes to Sikhs they put into action what they say and they feed the homeless and do a tremendous amount of good for the UK. Thank you and we recognise what you do and thank you for it. Well that's what I wanted to say and thanks for listening. From Dan❤

England is a nation of idol worshipers. God said, "Neither Adulterers, Fornicators, Homosexuals, liars, thieves, gossipers, murderers, blasphemers, usurpers, or idol worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God set down laws, teachings & judgments depicting what was allowed & what was forbidden. Man was told to 'choose' whom he would serve between good or evil. Sin is not OF God, but sin is OF evil; evil will not be allowed in eternal Heaven. God put his laws into every man's heart, therefore, everyone born on earth 'knows' good from evil, they only pretend that they don't. Christ's entire purpose was to remove man's sin nature & teach him to let go of living out the lies of the world by thinking, speaking, & doing the things AS they are done in Heaven, not AS they are done in Hell. When man rejects God's teachings, laws & judgments, he is 'choosing' to embrace the contradictions of Satin by worshiping in the kingdom of Evil. It's a CHOICE.
I wish that this sort of brotherhood and debate could have prevailed back then. The world today would be a heaven for us.
Loved the show, discussion, openess of accepting the good and bad. Above all the professionalism with which the host invited his guest for the talks.
Please people don't seem to understand something they always blame British/white culture this is not the answer.. (yes I'm white but please go ahead and read anyway)
British culture is the only culture that is all about competition we do it to ourselves we do not act together as one culture among ourselves we only appear as one culture to outside cultures as they themselves could not imagine us being separate as we act so similar from their perspectives, and that every other culture is mostly inclusive of people in its own culture and less competitive among themselves, that is why they refer to us as one culture even though we see ourselves (white/wester/British culture whatever you want to call it) as all separate people, which in fact are, but we also have our own culture we are somewhat blind to and this is just because not that friendly among each other either haha! As perhaps some other cultures might encourage rather we go more towards competitive cabalism with schooling systems for example etc etc..colonialism
See this competitive culture is one of our cultures biggest weakness (and yes this is an attribute of our culture but not the whole thing like we also contribute a lot of important things and good qualities and have many good people among us, but it is an invisible culture to us, call it western culture whatever its not just white) Who knows how this competitive nature started or why it is part of this culture only thing that matters is don't feel guilty because our family history is linked whatever (we did not choose where we were born after all this is not our fault) but acknowledge it as a problem, and a problem this culture that we are a part of now has done and acted like in the past; like the lady said in the video.
And may I add to this point that it is we should be HUMBLE and be able to HUMBLE ourselves in every way may I add, (this is for everyone not just our culture but especially for people with a competitive nature like is common in these cultures) and we should work together to do this and on ourselves alone for each has his/her own responsibility of his/her own for themselves! For no one should blame themselves or feel guilty for what they cannot control but to it is important for our culture and for everyone be strong enough to accept acknowledgement (especially this predominantly white / western culture (that I was personally born in)) and then MOVE ON one step at a time and start with small changes like giving queens diamond back to where it originated from and moving on one small change at a time like this hopefully everything moves towards unity after some time even though it may look chaotic to begin with because the only real truth at the end of the day it ONE LOVE.
Everything comes after that like respect parents, elders, treat neighbour as thyself and respect religion, for why they were originally created not just how they are/were used, always see the good in people, have good morals, be humble patient, give yourself the benefit of the doubt, learn to forgive, believe in god, possibly follow a religion to help you with this and develop your faith / belonging etc etc etc We were all born with a certain amount of goodness inside of us and morals it is society that changes us but it must start from the ground up one small step at a time :)
if these people dont like my country why dont they eff off home ?????????????????????????

Thank you. So true!
Yes, he has passed, but thank God and goodness he is so available here at Basics of Sikhi. As a Wannabe Sikh, I think of him as my good friend and teacher. A fine example of the modern day Kalsa warrior saint!
British Empire did do a lot of good... good for their own people using the blood and suffering and lives of others. The railways were only built to transport goods from India to the UK. The Universities were only built to educate a small number of people in English in order to help with translation and governance of the country. Every so-called good thing they left in their departure is only because they couldn't take it with them, and the fact that it is has helped the country is much to the credit of the country's population for making use of them.
It is absolutely ridiculous to call teaching people English as an achievement. Why, is English such a great language? If China invaded the UK tomorrow, forced everyone to learn Chinese, tortured, abused, and maimed them for almost two centuries, and went back to their countries and proudly declared teaching Chinese as an achievement, can there be anything more twisted?
The exact same thing is true about supposedly decreasing social tensions in the countries by bringing the different people together, because they only did that in order to fight the empire off. It is like if two friends are having disagreements and problems in their relationship, and I come try to kill them with a knife, and they work together to drive me off, would they be grateful to me for helping them look past their differences? It is completely ridiculous.
Nobody is calling for the current British people to feel guilty and apologise for the mistakes of their predecessors, but not being proud of an Empire built on blood, and teaching children proper history in school would be a better way to live to stop history repeating itself. Every empire has a bloody history no doubt, but people aren't proud of every empire and calling it a force for good.
I agree 100% ...except for the last sentence. I think people have always been proud of Empires. We still praise the Egyptian, Roman, Greek etc
I watched this the whole way through and i've come to the conclusion that the British empire was a force of good , the world world be worse off if there wasn't an empire
Genocidal, warmongering Britain is arguably the most evil nation/union/kingdom in the history of the world. BRITAIN HAS COMMITTED GENOCIDES ACROSS FIVE CONTINENTS (from neighbouring Ireland in Europe to North America to Africa to Asia to Oceania), a fact they shamelessly continue to deny.
Britain has commited so many crimes against humanity (and crimes against the planet), it would take several volumes of books to explain their countless acts of cruelty.
Britain (and it's predecessor state) has committed multiple genocides in neighbouring Ireland, from the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland to the Great Irish famine/genocide to the murdering and torturing of Irish Republicans by the Black and Tans to murdering innocent civilians in the Dublin Monaghan bombings and the civilians gunned down in two Bloody Sundays in Ireland (google all of it).
Britain was the second largest enslaver in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, a trade which resulted in the deaths of millions of African slaves as they were treated like cattle and worked to near death. Britain abolished slavery after paying reparations not to the slaves but to the slave owners!!!. Britain continued with slavery in another name with indentured labour, where the plight of the labourers was no better than that of the slaves. Britain maintained concentration camps in the Boer War where tens of thousands of men, women and children perished (google 'Boer war concentration camp'). Britain committed genocide in the 1950s in Kenya (google 'Caroline Elkins Imperial Reckoning'). In addition to committing slavery and genocide in Africa, Britain looted the resources of several African countries and stole away countless valuable artefacts, artefacts which the British Museum shamelessly continues to possess.
During their rule in India, Britain siphoned off 45 trillions dollars in today's money (watch the VICE video on it). Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Indian rebels were tortured and murdered in the aftermath of the 1857 war of independence (entire rebel towns were 'cleansed'). Tens of millions of Indians starved to death during the dozens of famines as the inhumane British rulers looked away. In modern day Sri Lanka, in the aftermath of the Uva rebellion, the entire male population was put to death (google 'Uva rebellion'). The Bengal Famine of 1943 was genocide committed by a genocidal racist bastard called Winston Churchill (google 'Madhushree Mukherjee Churchill's Secret War'). The British murdered countless innocent civilians in massacres like Jallianwala Bagh massacre, Quissa Khwani Bazaar massacre, Pathorughat Massacre (google them all; these are the ones we know of, imagine the countless massacres Britain destroyed all records of). British forces murdered tens of thousands of Indians during the Quit India movement. In China, Britain fought the Opium Wars. Britain also used 'divide and rule' to turn different groups against each other. Btw, all the railways, ports, infrastructure Britain built in India were to help them transport the resources it stole.
Britain committed genocide in North America (google 'small pox infected blanket).
Britain committed genocide in Oceania (google 'British genocide in Australia').
If you thought that was all in the distant past, think of the Iraq War in 2003 twenty years ago where the UK illegally invaded and killed thousands of Iraqis. Also think of the bombing of Libya by British warplanes, the funding of Al Nusra by Britain (google 'Britain Al Nusra').
Britain is a shameless, genocidal, warmongering nation that continues to deny, deflect and obfuscate it's countless crimes against humanity.
The British Empire literally abolished slavery in most of the world. Absolutely idiotic nonsense they never did anything good lmao. The main task of the royal navy for half century was to literally patrol the African coast to catch slave traders christ.
Few things should make you feel proud of any nation/empire, but spearheading the effort to stop the global slavery, something that had NEVER been done before, is something the British should be immensely proud of.
Bullshit mr
Why were they all interupting while Jagraj was speaking? He was being respectful and let the others speak even though their views on the sikh empire were false.
it hurts thier empire ego when someone speak bitter truth about harsh reality i also notice that they aren't giving chance him to speak continuously. hitler was also can't capable to comparison to this brutle people.
Because it’s hard to hear truth.

The extent of education in all of India in 1947 was between 10 to 15%.
Average life expectancy was below 30 yrs of age. And the whole country was drained to the bone supporting 2 world wars, which were not even remotely related to us.
Indians went to fight for food, their families got a few shillings by putting their lives on the line. 1/3 of all the British army that fought around the world in a deeply discriminating army was Indian & large large part of them went missing, died in unknown places.
And of course they could not pull out the railway lines, take away the railway boggies & post offices when they left. Whatever social policing acts they might have put in place was the relentless efforts of Indians and also a large part of it was exaggerated propaganda to hide or justify their loot & genocides & forcibly closing local industries to sell their own goods.
All of Europe except UK, all of China, South Korea & Japan & Russia do not need English to progress.
While on the other hand Africa, South America, India grow very slowly because they adopted the colonizers language in to studying Science & Maths which need better understanding of concepts.
Sati & Caste & Johar are neither part of Hindu scriptures, nor of normal human lives up untill 1200AD.
They came into existence from the Delhi sultanat & thereafter when the invading armies would rape even dead bodies & society was run by subjugation and slave trade. Historically there is hardly a handful of recorded cases of Sati.
India even though it was divided into different princely states, had a common social & cultural fabric.
People of all kinds of beliefs lived together without fighting over belief systems, so we knew democracy long long before these wetserners could ever think of liberating others.
Real Decolonization would be decolonizing peoples minds. If the British left the country to a bunch of thugs who sucked up to them and supported their interests in running those companies that they still held in those colonies, you could never achieve that, things go from worse to worst...est.
And that sick old man is certainly not Sikh.
He sold Jallianwala baug, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpatrai to a cosy job, few pounds & citizenship. And the British education system & Communists have successfully created a huge bunch of those apologetic_inferiority_complex colonized minds.

There r a lot f reasons for that.

There's diversity, there's simplicity & lack of cruel merciless tactics, there's internal quarrels & there were lack of fighting armies & arms & strategies to destroy enemy resources.

Dr. Kartar Lalvani Lost his credibility when he said that, First University was built by British in India. No thanks, heard enough of you sir.
Well did u confirm?
@@gman4074 Nalanda university was formed way before than that
@@pratyushranjanroul4400 But that university was also a religious institution and not a university of the modern standard.
@@Teadon86 haha mate it was the biggest University in Asia and included records on algebra , decimal system and also cosmic science etc , by your logic St Xavier's University isn't a university just because it's religious?
@@chromatron5230 Sigh. Why do people like you bite?
The first true university was founded in Europe. Before this European institution, there was something that arguable can be defined as universities and those were often private institutions maintained and administrated by one head figure, a scholar or learned individual - such as the Islamic madrasas. However, before this type of institution, in Europe, there already existed communities of scholars, especially in Greece and Italy, that held public sessions and openly discussed the natural philosophies. They also hold private lessons to anyone rich enough to afford it or intelligent enough to warrant providing free tutelage.
This means that a university can be any person considered learned/gifted who teaches others. This includes shamans and mystics. This is why I scoff at the notion that some soon-to-be-slaughtered-for-almost-a-thousand-years Indian scholars are the first true university professors when the loose concept used to justify this dumb notion allows the inclusions of pure-bred retards to be seen by contemporary man as university professors of their time. Maybe that is the ticket allowing such an absurd understanding: " . . . of their time."
By the way, you know nothing about the many origins of algebra, nor do you know that the algebra we use today was developed in Europe. You do not know the different types of algebra and why this matters to the claim of who's the originator. I'm sure you're dumb enough to argue that just because some ancient civilizations outside of Europe had simple toys that could 'fly' they invented the airplane or proved the concept of flight. Like that Chinese maniac who blew himself to pieces but did achieve a short flight before fertilizing the field that was so undignifiedly covered in human chunks. Or maybe you'd argue that the kite is the proof of concept and therefore it is legitimate to argue that the first Chinese kitemaker is the father/mother of flight. But then, what is there to deny the claim that the first European who fell down a cliff and his/her clothing interacting with the air created enough drag to slow them down so they survived the drop was the originator behind the proof of concept? Nothing. This is why one should be very careful before they go about claiming in a frenzy who's the originator.
Cosmic science? What? I can define a lot as "cosmic science". People across the globe have studied the stars, used them for navigation, named them, tried to calculate their sizes, their distances, and so on - this means that the Vikings were studying "cosmic sciences" when they navigated by the stars and made stories about them. Since cosmology and astrology are so broad in their origin, and how one can tie archeological evidence to either of these sciences, this means that bone fragments with etchings showing lines and dots are enough to attribute as a study in either or both these fields. This means that cosmology can be whatever bullshit religious story to explain everything. So whatever, call your bullshit stories astrology and cosmology if it makes you feel good. Although, you have to ignore the Nebra sky disk found in Northern Europe as the first true example of a study in astrology and it is also the oldest depiction of cosmos. Neither do you care for how each culture developed and treated these two subjects; some culture's understanding and development of these two subjects were practical, some were mystical, and some intellectual.
The concept of a decimal system is not new to Europe, this is because Europeans have hands with ten fingers (the last should be considered a pleonasm). Not even back when Arabs and other types of non-Europeans were slaughtering and enslaving Europeans, and accidentally introduced new symbols and reintroducing old concepts, this concept was new. In Europe, there existed abstract decimal systems but they did not use the concept of zero as the Indians or Chinese did; instead, Europeans debated the role and use of the zero in a mathematical system, how to represent it and why. What this led to was very cumbersome mathematical representations of zero, if it was used at all. Arguably, the first true origin of the concept of zero we use today is from China, about 1400BC, by using bamboo sticks.
St Xavier's University is based on the modern university system. Not even missing the mark, are we?

Bhai jagraj ji you are a true follower of Guru ji & a true sikh indeed.Thanks a lot for speaking the truth aloud.
England is a nation of idol worshipers. God said, "Neither Adulterers, Fornicators, Homosexuals, liars, thieves, gossipers, murderers, blasphemers, usurpers, or idol worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God set down laws, teachings & judgments depicting what was allowed & what was forbidden. Man was told to 'choose' whom he would serve between good or evil. Sin is not OF God, but sin is OF evil; evil will not be allowed in eternal Heaven. God put his laws into every man's heart, therefore, everyone born on earth 'knows' good from evil, they only pretend that they don't. Christ's entire purpose was to remove man's sin nature & teach him to let go of living out the lies of the world by thinking, speaking, & doing the things AS they are done in Heaven, not AS they are done in Hell. When man rejects God's teachings, laws & judgments, he is 'choosing' to embrace the contradictions of Satin by worshiping in the kingdom of Evil. It's a CHOICE.
Jagraj Singh as always is spot on in his analysis. He is their to give the perspective of Indians, wise to the colonial narrative. Remember it’s the winners and rulers who write the history and they do that in away that shows them in the best light. Jagraj’s understanding of Sikhi in my opinion is near perfect. I would suggest that anybody wanting an understanding of Sikhi refer to his legacy.

Please people don't seem to understand something they always blame British/white culture this is not the answer.. (yes I'm white but please go ahead and read anyway)
British culture is the only culture that is all about competition we do it to ourselves we do not act together as one culture among ourselves we only appear as one culture to outside cultures as they themselves could not imagine us being separate as we act so similar from their perspectives, and that every other culture is mostly inclusive of people in its own culture and less competitive among themselves, that is why they refer to us as one culture even though we see ourselves (white/wester/British culture whatever you want to call it) as all separate people, which in fact are, but we also have our own culture we are somewhat blind to and this is just because we are not that friendly among each other either haha! As perhaps some other cultures might encourage rather we go more towards competitive cabalism with schooling systems for example etc etc..colonialism
See this competitive culture is one of our cultures biggest weakness (and yes this is an attribute of our culture but not the whole thing like we also contribute a lot of important things and good qualities and have many good people among us, but it is an invisible culture to us, call it western culture whatever its not just white) Who knows how this competitive nature started or why it is part of this culture only thing that matters is don't feel guilty because our family history is linked whatever (we did not choose where we were born after all this is not our fault) but acknowledge it as a problem, and a problem this culture that we are a part of now has done and acted like in the past; like the lady said in the video.
And may I add to this point that it is we should be HUMBLE and be able to HUMBLE ourselves in every way may I add, (this is for everyone not just our culture but especially for people with a competitive nature like is common in these cultures) and we should work together to do this and on ourselves alone for each has his/her own responsibility of his/her own for themselves! For no one should blame themselves or feel guilty for what they cannot control but to it is important for our culture and for everyone be strong enough to accept acknowledgement (especially this predominantly white / western culture (that I was personally born in)) and then MOVE ON one step at a time and start with small changes like giving queens diamond back to where it originated from and moving on one small change at a time like this hopefully everything moves towards unity after some time even though it may look chaotic to begin with because the only real truth at the end of the day it ONE LOVE.
Everything comes after that like respect parents, elders, treat neighbour as thyself and respect religion, for why they were originally created not just how they are/were used, always see the good in people, have good morals, be humble patient, give yourself the benefit of the doubt, learn to forgive, believe in god, possibly follow a religion to help you with this and develop your faith / belonging etc etc etc We were all born with a certain amount of goodness inside of us and morals it is society that changes us but it must start from the ground up one small step at a time :) :)

Very good points made by jagraj Singh.
Ignorance prevails ! They have'nt read about the Sikh ideology & the Gurus.
The sikh Gurus criticized & abolished the social evils like Sati system & Female infanticide much before the british came in. And now the Brits want credit for it.
The education system was designed to produce indians who would look down upon their own people, look up to the british & benefit only them. The sikh gentleman on the left is such a product. Indian vernacular languages were pushed in the background in favour of English. Macaulay - the man behind it had the audacity to announce in the british parliament that all the native literature in Arabic & sanskrit was worth less than the books in the most paltry preperatory school in England. All the "great" infrastucture was installed for a more effective exploitation of the Indian mineral wealth. And now they want us to be proud of the empire.
Macauly also said they have succeeded in splitting the Sikh's from Hinduism!
not everybody in bharat was Sikh this is pure arrogance on your part and not everybody followed your religious law either

Jagraj Singh was the only one who was always cut off halfway for some reason.
Nerve Honour british killed 1000s of innocents punjabis in 1919 jalyawala bagh and talking about democracy shutup, Guru Nanakdev ji is a person who stopped sati pratha in india, Guru Nanakdev sahib said why you speak wrong about her who gives birth to kings and saints without her there is no life, the time when you didnt give rite of a vote to a women so please dont talk shit if you dont know anything, you are a kidnappers of small 12 years old kid and not just kidnapped also converted him to Christianity and when he met with his Mother queen Jind kaur that kid become sikh again and he was Maharaja Dulip singh son of Maharaja Ranjit singh.
What about Slavery from Africans and killed Native Americans where were you like a religious, jagraj singh was not a communist, the reason is the person who speak against you become communist for you, india was a golden bird you stole every thing from india, this fuckin Dr is a puppet of yours British Empire nothing else kohinoor is a property of sikh Empire you stole that from small Prince , who was just 12 year old than waht kid knows about the value of these treasures? nothing. And you said he gifted to your queen.
Conclusion is this is one sided Debate for Christians and a British empire, when someone trying to show their real face this anchors stopped him in the middle like late Brother jugraj singh.
Ravinder Singh its a one sided debate because the British empire was undoubtedly the greatest benefit to mankind of any civilization in history! For almost all history before that, global living standards and income were relatively constant then we essentially kick started the technological pathway to end all global problems. Technological advancement as we know it would not have occurred without the empires of Europe, particularly the British. You'd still be living in wood houses tilling fields, sure Indians would have a better relative standard to the world, but it would be way worse absolute standard.
@Ravinder - the people who killed the Native Amercians became Americans. Nice logical fallacy.
Debates like this are very enlightening. Very knowledgeable and insightful views.
Superb. Well done Nicky for this very interesting informative debate. I am Sri Lankan by birth, but now British.

The Indians fought in the 2nd world war because they were promised freedom!!!
That's right Indian just need freedom from British at any sake
A Kaur and they got it in 1947
Why it is not renamed a BRUTISH EMPIRE ( or a BOORISH EMPIRE) instead..thats's the most apt and accurate of all terms .. they even managed to brutalise the ... food! British food ... should simple called a brutish food. Lol
I don’t think that is true. We cannot think of them to be conditional primarily when their country was at war. Further to that, it is we who went to war with our resources expecting they will leave us and go away as a gesture of goodwill. In case you have a document in support, would be happy to read that.
And they got it
Jagraj singh is such an amazing true sikh
I've got to give the British credit for this: when they speak about the Roman Empire's conquest of Britain, they sound grateful.
Why do so few have the courage to admit the truth and say, "Thank you." To say: "Your intentions were not altruistic, but whose were? Thank you for coming to my primitive backwater of an island and bringing advancement of all kinds."
I suspect this is because the British actually achieved something of their own, in part thanks to Rome. The more success India and others attain on the world stage, the more grateful they will become for all that enabled said advancement. Be glad that the suffering of your ancestors was not in vain. You now get to reap the benefit. No sugar coating of history is required to appreciate it. If we all can avoid sugar coating our own histories, avoid pretending that all hands were joined in song until the outsiders came, then we can all get over the ills of previous centuries and be grateful we live when we do (and where we do).

One of the most prosperous country in the world in terms of culture money everything goes almost to bankruptcy in 200 years. Who ruled the country ---> Britishers, Who's economy grew to a next level from nothing to that big at that time Britisher's. And who suffered ? Who ordered a famine in Bengal? Who ordered to kill innocent people at jalianwala bagh? Who made India an exporter of raw materials and importer and finished goods that too British? Who took away our ancient culture and lost the great command of our languages? And don't even come to us asking they didn't had an impact on us , i am writing this message in ENGLISH. The British empire is build on our stolen money and I don't think they should be a .00001% proud of the empire...

England is a nation of idol worshipers. God said, "Neither Adulterers, Fornicators, Homosexuals, liars, thieves, gossipers, murderers, blasphemers, usurpers, or idol worshipers will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. God set down laws, teachings & judgments depicting what was allowed & what was forbidden. Man was told to 'choose' whom he would serve between good or evil. Sin is not OF God, but sin is OF evil; evil will not be allowed in eternal Heaven. God put his laws into every man's heart, therefore, everyone born on earth 'knows' good from evil, they only pretend that they don't. Christ's entire purpose was to remove man's sin nature & teach him to let go of living out the lies of the world by thinking, speaking, & doing the things AS they are done in Heaven, not AS they are done in Hell. When man rejects God's teachings, laws & judgments, he is 'choosing' to embrace the contradictions of Satin by worshiping in the kingdom of Evil. It's a CHOICE.

Wisdom, humble, respectful, clarity and enlighten soul. Jagraj Singh . ..Should be role model of our kids.
Kartar Singh Leveni honestly has no information about the Sikh Raj... it was before the British Raj that under Maharaja Ranjit Singh that the caste was abolished. People from not only different social economic backgrounds were given opportunities but people of different religions were given equal rights and equal opportunities. Kartar needs to remember it was the British you stripped away the Sikh identity for almost 60 years until the early 1900's. Sikhs were not permitted to practise or wear the Kirpan for instance unless guess what... they joined the army. If the British never meddled the Sikh Empire and the Martha Empire along with the Chole Empire (along with small empires) would have been able to rule the whole continent together as the whole with peace.

That Sikh doctor was horrible. How many people died for those great thing British have India and caste is a social problem that still exists today and was there before. Racial problems existed before and still exists the British empire solved none of that. Pretty sad these people have such attitude even today.
yes caste and racial was too deep in indian society
Guru Word: Unfortunately, Caste and Racial problems are still a current socially divisive and destructive element; which is ingrained- indelibly within the Psyche of the culture of the people. What would be the method in decreasing this primitiveness ?
They did not mention the fact that now due to the British empire great debates like this can be had in the heart of London. You can't have this debate in China or Russia or in Africa. British culture celebrates the opinions of Sikhs and Hindu Indians and we value the contribution they give us, it has been this way for the last 80 years!
You literally can have these conversations in those places stop speaking on other cultures you know nothing about. The British empire murdered 100 - 165 million Indians alone. Not mentioning the hundreds of millions of others.

@@arpanmalakar11 sorry I was just triggered lol. I love india really just a shame some can't be less ignorant about britain
@@Purwapada so you won't acknowledge the mistakes? You are proud of your empire, I don't have any iota of problem, but that doesn't mean that you won't believe the second side of the coin. Yes, I agree that Britain did give the ideas of democracy and industrialisation to India. No doubt about that. But you should also acknowledge the famines, mass murders happened in India where an estimated 29 million people died. I am not making this up. It was told by your own historian. So as per my opinion, you were neither responsible for the atrocities committed nor for the good things that your ancestors have done, as you didn't had direct hands in it. So taking pride in the empire's size is good, because a tiny country with barely 70 million people were able to conquer 25% of the world. but taking prides for its action is useless as I have already mentioned before that you didn't had any direct hands in it. But sure, if I was born in Britain, I would have defended the Empire by romanticizing it like you.
@@arpanmalakar11 who said I romanticized it. I view it with neutrality, and am glad at the good and saddened by the bad.
I think my position is reasonable. That is all I will say.
that lalvani guy is an disgrace...😓
All you have to measure is the people trying to get into England vs. those trying to leave it...
During Shivaji's Rule all Sections of Soceity Worked together!!
Chhatrapati Shivaji and All Sikh Gurus Banned Sati!!
I don't think the English were interested in stopping
Satti. they were in India to loot the place.
Their only policy was,-----the only good Indian
Was a died one.
So to say that the English stopped it. Was a joke. You can tell that to the aliens when You meet them.
Any way the Indians did not
Invite to come to India to
Stop satti.we send you postcards You live thousand of miles away oh came and save us we are
Killing ourselves. you were total
Strangers to us.
Totally absurd proposition.
By the way I'm Indian hindu, and I love our sikh brothers. WHat do the sikhs in UK think about us, and what can we do to make perceptions better?
+madiam 4u start by not empowering criminals like Sajjan Kumar by giving them anticipatory bail
madiam 4u sikh dont like hindus and hindus dont like sikhs thats what I herd
We love our Hindu family too. Just stop caste system.
respect us a separate religion
@ABritishGuy nobody in india has even heard of the empire and certainly no one gives a damn.
That second skih was totally wrong. To say british created india. Rubbish
They did. India never existed as a single nation. So yeah, Britain litterally created India country of today
@@jpb2366 😂 they actually divided India our empire was till Afghanistan to the nagaland from Himalayas to the end
yes I am gay Afghanistan Pakistan hahaha that’s the a joke u were ghulam of our and British came India Pakistan Bangladesh together hahah crazy man and British were also in Afghanistan but no ruling only we killed most of them

keep up the great work #basic of sikhi
The guy in the black turban is not a Sikh.
Well said mate👍
India was never a country before the British. It was a subcontinental region of different kingdoms (e.g. Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil)
India was always a UNITED CIVILIZATION called Bharat. Outsider inferiors will never understand Bharat. There was no Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra or Tamil nadu (these are modern Indian states).
Unifying it didn’t help, it just assimilated people, forced languages and conflicts, imagine unifying Europe obviously the economy would be stronger in total, but it wouldn’t fix poverty, when you combine the total economies of several countries, however Europe is even less diverse than India
All I can say is I'm glad India & United Kingdom are allies. I'm proud of what Britain achieved and glad once India went Independent it went the British way of government, Largest Democracy in the World, Can't wait until India's Economy grows and it catches up with China & The U.S which it will sooner or later !!!
i agree that you can be proud of your country but what the british achieved came at a great cost for us indians. many people in the world see us as a third world country because britain had nearly stripped us of our wealth and it might take 2 centuries to grow it back. the british are benefitting from post colonial times and most of the wealth they have now is from india and i believe that you should acknowledge the past before you be proud of what your ancestors have done.

Indians went to fight for food, their families got a few shillings by putting their lives on the line.
1/3 of all the British army that fought around the world in a deeply discriminating army was Indian & large large part of them went missing, died in unknown places.
And of course they could not pull out the railway lines, take away the railway boggies & post offices when they left.
Whatever social policing acts they might have put in place was the relentless efforts of Indians and also a large part of it was exaggerated propaganda to hide or justify their loot & genocides & forcibly closing local industries to sell their own goods.
All of Europe except UK, all of China, South Korea & Japan & Russia do not need English to progress.
While on the other hand Africa, South America, Indian subcontinent grew very slowly because they adopted the colonizers language in to studying Science & Maths which needs better understanding of concepts.
Sati & Caste & Johar are neither part of Hindu scriptures, nor of normal human lives up untill 1200AD.
They came into existence from the Delhi sultanat & thereafter when the invading armies would rape even dead bodies & society was run by subjugation and slave trade. Historically there is hardly a handful of recorded cases of Sati, not even mentioned in hundreds of books written before this period, not even by travellers.
India even though it was divided into different princely states, had a common social & cultural fabric.
People of all kinds of beliefs lived together without fighting over belief systems, so we knew democracy long long before these wetserners could ever think of liberating others.
Real Decolonization would be decolonizing peoples minds. If the British left the country to a bunch of thugs who sucked up to them and supported their interests in running those companies that they still held in those colonies, you could never achieve that, things go from worse to worst...est.
And that sick old man is certainly not Sikh.
He sold Jallianwala baug, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpatrai to a cosy job, few pounds & citizenship. And the British education system & Communists have successfully created a huge bunch of those apologetic_inferiority_complex colonized minds.

I hope Indian's realise, that during Empire the British 'people' at home had more in common with the indian farmer in India than they did with their own leaders, royals, kings and queens etc
Ya sorry, not even close.
@@jiml9856 Then you know little about the plight of Brits during Empire. It's no different today. A working class Brit has more in common with an immigrant to the UK then they do with those wiedling political or financial power who happen to share the same nationality.
You give credence to 'nationality' rather than understanding the human condition. You're a typical ideologue.
@@tomc791 For emphasis on people rather than the state.
Yes which is why I think much of the animus is (and should be) directed at empire and those who glorify it rather than everyday working brits.
The British people bought into the Empire.
Alot still do.
The way I see it, the British Empire was extremely impressive. Like it or not we must be in awe of it. A tiny country, geographically and in terms of population, ruled a quarter of the land on earth. Alongside the countless atrocities committed by the empire there was a lot nation building. Whether we like it or not, no country on earth did more to spread democracy and end slavery than Britain.
We must remember it is not fair to judge events or organisations of the past with modern values
Sati is not practiced all over India and it never ever was. Only Rajput Royal families had this tradition. Fact is British Missionaries came to India and local people revolt against them. The East India company did not want this trouble and they got order against Missionaries to come to India. The East India company was there to make quick money. The missionaries then exploited this 'Sati' issue and made case in front of British queen then, that they should be allowed to go to India and they will help solving social problems by preaching Christianity. Otherwise why British should care so much about Sati, Dalit etc.even today?

True...regular and low castes practices karewa
_"Sati as practice is first mentioned in 510 CCE, when a stele commemorating such an incident was erected at Eran, an ancient city in the modern state of Madhya Pradesh. The custom began to grow in popularity as evidenced by the number of stones placed to commemorate satis, particularly in southern India and amongst the higher castes of Indian society, despite the fact that the Brahmins originally condemned the practice (Auboyer 2002). Over the centuries the custom died out in the south only to become prevalent in the north, particularly in the states of Rajasthan and Bengal. While comprehensive data are lacking across India and through the ages, the British East India Company recorded that the total figure of known occurrences for the period 1813 - 1828 was 8,135; another source gives the number of 7,941 from 1815 - 1828, an average of 618 documented incidents per year. However, these numbers are likely to grossly underestimate the real number of satis as in 1823, 575 women performed sati in the state of Bengal alone (Hardgrave 1998)."_
_"As a result of being outlawed, sati began to decline in the 19th Century but persisted in parts of India, particularly Rajasthan, a state with one of the lowest literacy rates in India. Chimnabai, wife of Sayajirao Gaekwad III, Maharaja of Baroda from 1875 to 1939, was a tireless campaigner for the rights of Indian women. In 1927 in a speech at the first All-India Women's Conference she called sati a curse, but also noted that the practice no longer posed a great risk to Indian women, unlike the practices of girl-child marriage and the institution of purdah."_

It still takes place in India today. The British only partially succeeded in eradicating it, but at least they tried.
*"Otherwise why British should care so much about Sati, Dalit etc.even today?"*
Because the British don't like the idea of making women die because their husbands have died. We kinda frown upon that sort of thing.
@@Lodatzor it doesn't takes place in India anymore ... There death penalty for anyone who practice .. where u read it still exists..show me ..I want to know

The Sikh man (Dr) on the left is over-educated that he doesn't recognise the difference between oppression and progress anymore... Writing a book about "making of India" would only get him to see from the point of view of a slave, like the ones who built the pyramids, the same slaves that came from mud-huts... He doesn't care about the point of views of the slaves that refused to do so...
The bitter old man, several in from the left, keeps bobbing and shaking his head when Jagraj comments - your typical colonial mentality that will have him take nothing but his own points of view to his grave and I can bet he will be most content with that...
A comment made, that Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a leader of the Sikh religion is like saying Queen Elizabeth is the queen of Christianity. Makes us think what exactly the Pope's purpose is ?? Ranjit SIngh had all religions in his kingdom from Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians. He was even summoned to the Akal takht (The center of Sikhism) for lashes for marrying outside the Sikh religion. It is always amusing when old men with their mentality try and pass a point without seeing the need of learning something instead... THE SAME GENTLEMAN MENTIONS THAT THE KOHINOOR DOESN'T BELONG TO SIKHS OR LAHORE AND THERE WERE OTHER EMPIRES WHO OWNED IT BEFORE. WHY NOT SET AN EXAMPLE BY RETURNING IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU STOLE IT FROM AND EXPECT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN IT FROM WHERE THEY DID? WHAT ABOUT THE SIKH ARTIFACTS STOLEN FROM THE GOLDEN TEMPLE?? HOW ABOUT RETURNING THEM SINCE THEY WERENT STOLEN FROM ANYWHERE BUT WERE SIKH?? HOW ABOUT RETURNING THE BILLIONS WORTH OF RICHES STOLEN FROM RANJIT SINGH'S EMPIRE AND ANGLO-SIKH - WARS ?? HOW ABOUT THE COMPENSATION FOR THE 18TH CENTURY ATROCITIES COMMITTED IN ANGLO - SIKH WARS?? ATROCITIES AGAINST THE 1000S OF NAMDHARI SIKHS WHO WERE TIED TO CANONS AND BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS FOR HAVING ANTI-BRITISH SENTIMENTS?? HOW ABOUT SUMMONING A CRIMINAL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE COURT OR TRIBUNAL FOR THE COMMONWEALTHS WHERE HISTORIANS CAN RIP THE TRUTH OUT FOR THE BRITISH PUBLIC?? In Kenya Dedan Kimathi (a Mau mau freedom fighter) was murdered with 40 of his nearest family members and blood-line for a statement by the empire to never rise against it, ever. In New Zealand prior to the treaty of Waitangi the Maori were taken close to extinction and Maori bloodline forever deformed with British blood by mass rape.
All - in - all, the British brought us nothing but misery. I speak as a New Zealander and I can assure you we were happy with our less materialistic ways of life, breathing New Zealand air, and drinking our crystal waters, before the British came and stole our land for excavation of gold, selling us their 'civilised' way of life in return... If the empire was working in progress of people, why did it have uprisings in every commonwealth country? Why is it very hard for a 50+ British man to believe that the Empire brought them riches and progress dipped in blood of it's colonies...
Bravo brother, I feel you in my heart.
emmm...just a minor point....british monarchs were the head of state and religion. So yeah Elizabeth was the "Queen" of protestant Christianity in England
I thought so myself. Agree
