Force and brutality was always on the cards rather then reasoning. The Jallia wala bagh massacre is a prime example were people in Amritsar in 1919 were merely protesting for better rights but were shamelessly abd brutally gunned down by General Dyers forces in which 3000 plus people lost their lives.

This is the era in India in which my parents were born, both of whom later benefitted from obtaining medical and engineering degrees in the early 1940s from university colleges of medicine and engineering that had been built by the British some decades earlier. My mum and dad also said how clean and orderly cities like Mysore, Bombay and Karachi used to be under British rule. However, my parents, like me, found hunting abhorrent, either by the princes, maharajahs and sultans of India or the British rulers, or the hard life of the camels and elephants used in pagaentry or war, and so the hunting scene of wild boars at the end by "pigsticking" was a shock to me as I thought it was only a barbaric practice in USA.
The cities under indians kings are also clean and beautiful to wo it have nothing to do with British rule the problem is that the democracy which British imposed on india is resulted to dirty and messy india
Now everyone being salty in the comments, please remember that if India was not ruled by the British, there would not have been a unified India. We would still be a bunch of different princely states fighting with each other. So something good also came out of this. Just sayin...

Sardar Patel united the princely state and as union. British had no interest in Indian Unity. Only interest British had was Indian economic resource and piping to Britannia and make Britannia rich. British lost the empire after going bankrupt in second world war. .
Rich will be rich, poor will be poor no matter what. Poor people were poor before the British, during the British and after the British in India. India is divided by cast and religion. Current government is fuelling it further.
Well india today is still at better position for 7 decades those who were in power couldn't even provide basic resources to people. The way present government is perceived is different, they do practice exclusion but gave platform to communities who were marginalized for a long time.
Excellent footage..that was a good and golden era of Baroda state...but now days it's falling down..but thanks sir sayaji Rao and British personal.. who gave is peaceful vadodara..
By mistake though,but u hv used the correct word, bought , literally they bought it coz they didn't hv any.. , and sold forcefully, the misery and plight to the colonies they ruled.
After 1947 Netas, bussiness men, goondas, and beurocrats are rulling similarly as was then by kings and Britishers But difference is Constitution and rule of law and democracy
Clear skies, roads, open spaces, fresh air, no plastic, no constant noise, no chaotic traffic. Well, hate me or love, I just pointed out the positives that were screaming for attention.
It all started with the islamic invasion.... timur, nadirshah, abdali... world was seeing that india had weak, corrupt and indulgent kings and rulers. Indian kings never learnt from their past that they need to have a formidable army to repulse the attacks (as alaudin khilji repulsed the mongols several times).English, just used the right opportunity and got help from traitors (plassey battle the deciding factor) and established their rule. 1857 could have turned the tide but for the lack of unity, cordination and descipline among the sipoys and mutineers, lack of a good leadership(the old and fragile both in age and character bahadur shah was not a good choice to be leader ). The idea of an united india should have been there before the 1857war, then it would have been different. But having said so i doubt what improvements could have come if 1857 was a success.
Regarding bahadur Shah he had no choice as damage was already done. Yes age wise and administration wise he was weak bcoz everything was in British control and only red Fort was in Kings hand. but bahadur Shah was not weak in character.
India will rule the world if it is ruled by Arthashastra of Chanakya. It will produce many kings like Chandragupta Maurya who ruled from Myanmar to Eastern Persia and Afghanistan to Karnataka..
It was only Muslim kings who fought with British. Starting from Aurangzeb (Child's war, British officers fell on his feet and begged pardon), after Child's war even upto 50 years after Aurangzeb's death the Brits didnt do any mischief in India. That was the fear he had instilled in them. Then started Anglo Mysore wars. Hyder Ali defeated British 3 times. Hyder Ali was the inspiration for Americans fighting against British. They even commissioned a warship in his name called Hyder Ally. But unforunately Tipu Sultan was defeated as Marathas refused to fight against British. Then battle of Plassey, where nawab of Bengal 21 year old Siraj ud daula was martyred. In this war Jagath seths, a rich bania family financed and supported British. Then battle of buxar. Finally war of independence 1857 was led by Bahadur Shah Zafar in which Scindia and many other Hindu and Sikh kings supported British. Hindu kings accepted British slavery without any fight.

British ruled India no they simply looted the country 189 years to be precisely and only due to local Indian disparity; India society divided on the basis of religion, cast, creed diverse languages, and busy settling scores of animosity n rivalries. Today’s Indians should be grateful to British they gave one complete India, instead of 596 princely states who were nothing but a overly garmented highly decorated thugs n peasant who only knew how to extract wealth from poor farmers. British were expert how to extract wealth from these Raje; Maharaje’s that’s only difference between Indians n British.

When British left us they taught us an important lesson of unity, so when the princely states were asked to choose between the either nations or remain independent all of them readily agreed to form a nation and hence Two countries came into existence.

What shall King choose ?? They chosed life of their people, because you don't know how hard it is for a hindu king with vedic values.. (For those kings, their people/praja came first & they accepted deal to save their people) .. But britishers captured the country like a heartless capitalist to leech every penny out of that.. They killed those what comes in their way of business.. This is why GDP of India dropped from 22% to 2% but because of those kings our saints, our temples, our ashrams and vedic knowledge is still alive to boost the country again..
The British paid the Indians a higher salary than working for an Indian business. A job with the railways for example train driver had high status. Was the British system worse than the Indian?

Western Asians defined us as HINDUS and our Country as HIND (hindu was never a name of any religion it was a geographical term given to people who lived in east of INDUS or SINDHU River) , even today in Turk and other countries they call India as Hind (which includes pakistan, nepal and bangladesh too)
SO U ARE WRONG HERE !

Yes there are very bad people in the world and I am sure humans have that much of emotional intelligence to understand that. whenever anyone tries to do that see what the person has to gain and what you will gain from this or people in general, we were great because of the people not because of any political parties, because we knew how to live like humans, look at the conditions today. Some people do bad stuff because they are forced due to various reason, some do it because they are utterly stupid, some because they are brain washed, some for their own gain and that is down right stupid and some they didn't know what they were doing. obviously be vigilant among each other but don't resort to violence. please educate yourselves and see where people are coming from and what is their real agenda, stop trusting blindly. question evreyone and everything. we are not dogs that we will give loyalty to anyone, we are way better than that. we have been given power by God to decide the right from wrong if we trust our better emotions.

Nice Documentary. Thanks for posting. Foreigners were able to unite entire india in to one country as Indian Kings were never united together to form a strong country which can stop foreign invasion.

No doubt British did not come to India for business instead they came for booty money as they know India is richest country in world with lot of gold and beautiful women. But now India is strong country with 3rd biggest economy with global human resource power of Intelligent people including me working as software engg in USA. !!

Wonderful memorable video 👍🙏🙏📍👌👌🥰
Loved the procession of the state elephants at 12:29.
This is the era in India in which my parents were born, both of whom later benefitted from obtaining medical and engineering degrees in the early 1940s from university colleges of medicine and engineering that had been built by the British some decades earlier. My mum and dad also said how clean and orderly cities like Mysore, Bombay and Karachi used to be under British rule. However, my parents, like me, found hunting abhorrent, either by the princes, maharajahs and sultans of India or the British rulers, or the hard life of the camels and elephants used in pagaentry or war, and so the hunting scene of wild boars at the end by "pigsticking" was a shock to me as I thought it was only a barbaric practice in USA.
The cities under indians kings are also clean and beautiful to wo it have nothing to do with British rule the problem is that the democracy which British imposed on india is resulted to dirty and messy india
I pity the poor elephants- God bless them !
u guys dont seems to pity them when u come here for holiday and ride them
And then you will eat pork chicken or beaf....
Thank you
Couldn't differentiate between coolie n princelings in Service of RAZ.
Now everyone being salty in the comments, please remember that if India was not ruled by the British, there would not have been a unified India. We would still be a bunch of different princely states fighting with each other. So something good also came out of this. Just sayin...
Sardar Patel united the princely state and as union. British had no interest in Indian Unity.
Only interest British had was Indian economic resource and piping to Britannia and make Britannia rich.
British lost the empire after going bankrupt in second world war. .
Ok, brown servant. How many Annas were you paid for this comment.
Rich will be rich, poor will be poor no matter what. Poor people were poor before the British, during the British and after the British in India. India is divided by cast and religion. Current government is fuelling it further.
Well india today is still at better position for 7 decades those who were in power couldn't even provide basic resources to people. The way present government is perceived is different, they do practice exclusion but gave platform to communities who were marginalized for a long time.

It all started with the islamic invasion.... timur, nadirshah, abdali... world was seeing that india had weak, corrupt and indulgent kings and rulers. Indian kings never learnt from their past that they need to have a formidable army to repulse the attacks (as alaudin khilji repulsed the mongols several times).English, just used the right opportunity and got help from traitors (plassey battle the deciding factor) and established their rule. 1857 could have turned the tide but for the lack of unity, cordination and descipline among the sipoys and mutineers, lack of a good leadership(the old and fragile both in age and character bahadur shah was not a good choice to be leader ). The idea of an united india should have been there before the 1857war, then it would have been different. But having said so i doubt what improvements could have come if 1857 was a success.
Regarding bahadur Shah he had no choice as damage was already done. Yes age wise and administration wise he was weak bcoz everything was in British control and only red Fort was in Kings hand. but bahadur Shah was not weak in character.
India will rule the world if it is ruled by Arthashastra of Chanakya.
It will produce many kings like Chandragupta Maurya who ruled from Myanmar to Eastern Persia and Afghanistan to Karnataka..
It was only Muslim kings who fought with British. Starting from Aurangzeb (Child's war, British officers fell on his feet and begged pardon), after Child's war even upto 50 years after Aurangzeb's death the Brits didnt do any mischief in India. That was the fear he had instilled in them.
Then started Anglo Mysore wars. Hyder Ali defeated British 3 times. Hyder Ali was the inspiration for Americans fighting against British. They even commissioned a warship in his name called Hyder Ally. But unforunately Tipu Sultan was defeated as Marathas refused to fight against British.
Then battle of Plassey, where nawab of Bengal 21 year old Siraj ud daula was martyred. In this war Jagath seths, a rich bania family financed and supported British.
Then battle of buxar.
Finally war of independence 1857 was led by Bahadur Shah Zafar in which Scindia and many other Hindu and Sikh kings supported British.
Hindu kings accepted British slavery without any fight.

The only good thing the British did is document life at that time so future generations can see India’s past.
British ruled India no they simply looted the country 189 years to be precisely and only due to local Indian disparity; India society divided on the basis of religion, cast, creed diverse languages, and busy settling scores of animosity n rivalries. Today’s Indians should be grateful to British they gave one complete India, instead of 596 princely states who were nothing but a overly garmented highly decorated thugs n peasant who only knew how to extract wealth from poor farmers. British were expert how to extract wealth from these Raje; Maharaje’s that’s only difference between Indians n British.
I can say India was made by Britain only. Indians should be thankful and appreciate work done in India during colonial time. They advanced india to new age from hindu and islamic darkness. Also I assure you Britisher were the cause of unity of India otherwise India was divided in many small backward countries like many states you have today.
