    The very fact that this is even a question makes me a little sad, but we can't exactly blame the people who have this question these days for it. Generation upon generation has been subjected to and put through a largely Eurocentric education system (especially when it comes to the 'history' we are taught and the lens we are taught to view it through), as well as a lingering inferiority complex that is, unfortunately, still harboured by many Indians today. That makes me all the more thankful for people like Mr. Chavda who can respectfully counter this narrative and introduce a different viewpoint in doing so. Keep doing what you do, sir!

      It made you a *little sad.* I was appalled that there are people who can make such a suggestion. It is the pacifist nature of Indians that we continue to be "respectful" of such depths of nonsense. The suggestion that, _Well, the British just shat in our faces and not in our mouths. So, that has to be good._

      Brazil speaks Portuguese...it has forgotten the languages native to its land...Brazil was a Portugal colony and adopted the Portugal language ..so where's the self respect there? ... India still speaks hindi and other regional languages native to its land..besides speaking English ( we also speak English cuz we were colonized by the English / brits) which is an added bonus.. if not for anything else ..we can atlesst connect with the world community in a much better way than others who can't speak English ...learning and speaking a new language is never a bad thing... just imagine with the kind of backwardness and poverty we have today ..if we even didn't know English we'd have been in total shambles. The newer generations of China , Japan, Germany, France , eastern Europe have all started learning and communicating in English.. English has been introduced in there education system and so many of them are found of various language portals and social platform looking to practice their Englsh with native English speakers ... so all those counties have understood the importance of knowing English which is the lingua franca of the world.. so nothing wrong on knowing and adopting English language..which can help us to connect with international community more easily and in a better way

English is very important.. even in the ICSE syllabus English and Hindi subjects are compulsory besides other subjects like social studies, science, maths, etc ...( during my time ) not sure if they have added a regional language subject also alongside English and Hindi in today's time...and in all state board syllabus one regional language is certainly compulsory ...in our country we mostly communicate in our local language ..English is used only at work, interviews and official communications only...( especially in private sector) .. How many Indians can speak English properly? Not many ...it is because we mostly communicate in our local language.

So pls you need to change the mentality that hindi the native language for all Indians. ..there are various other regional languages too spoken widey in different regions outside the hindi belt..However it doesn't make sense to ignore English and only stick to our own languages esentially That was my point .its like taking several steps backward and isolating ourselves.

But we Indians take notes in English. Colonisation of India by the British is the single great blow to our nation’s self respect. As I grow older by the day I feel more and more humiliated of it. Perhaps that’s what the British intended to do to a great nation.

Isn't this the fault of our governments and teachers that they failed to teach us about our true history? Also I was always forbidden to raise any questions on anything and i was humiliated by my history teachers and my moral Science teachers.

    I asked ChatGPT to draw a parallel between the Britishers and swarms of Locusts. Here is what it answered: The comparison between the British Empire and swarms of locusts draws attention to a striking parallel in their impact on the world. Just as locusts descend upon farmlands, consuming crops and leaving barren landscapes behind, the British Empire extended its reach across continents, leaving a wake of colonization and exploitation. The empire's voracious appetite for resources and power led to the systematic colonization of numerous countries, resulting in the exploitation of their wealth, resources, and cultures. Like locusts devouring fields, the Britishers consumed the riches of the lands they colonized, leaving behind socio-economic imbalances, cultural erosion, and political upheavals.
    The British Empire's colonization was marked by the imposition of their values, institutions, and governance systems, often at the expense of indigenous cultures and traditions. Just as locusts disrupt the delicate ecosystem of farmlands, the British rule disrupted the social fabric of the colonized nations. Economies were restructured to serve the interests of the empire, leading to unequal distribution of wealth and exploitation of local labor. The aftermath of British colonization echoes the aftermath of a locust invasion, with countries struggling to recover from the social, economic, and political scars inflicted by imperial rule.
    In summary, likening the British Empire to swarms of locusts underscores the parallel in their capacity to cause widespread devastation. Both phenomena highlight the far-reaching consequences of unchecked exploitation and dominance, whether in the natural world or in the realm of geopolitics.

One can see this trend a lot wherein parents feel the need to school their children in English, as if schooling them in their mother tongue is not going to sound serious enough. I look around and see people teaching their children ABCD at a very young age and these same kids grow up struggling to speak their mother tongue with proficiency! We need to push for Indian culture and Indian languages within India first.

Those days, foreigners came into India for trade, education and invasion. Thanks to British, Indians are going to other countries for education, employment and others. And we take pride of having an advantage of knowing English as it furthers our opportunities. Above all, the stigma of colonisation still haunts the Indians.

Also it is said to note that lawyers sooner occupy most political and administrative positions whereas fight growth of a country industries, engineers, agriculturists, businessmen, educationists, economists etc.. are required more and more. Even now or age old systems work wonders in some areas where people accept and adhere to these systems for which and equitable justice that differs not involve costs but is administered by village elders who follow traditions.

But all regional people should agree to this because this would mean a lot in computerization commonly and has ever so many advantages without losing the ancient texts in one's own language. People should understand a Rose is a Rose in whatever name you call it. Similarly glory of any of the Indian languages would not diminish if script that can unify is adopted.

Now the British not only have forgotten their colonial atrocities but strangely expect us to be grateful to them for the looting and havoc they caused in India. Sanskrit should be revived and made the national language of of India and not Hindi to be fair to all Indians in terms of both acceptance and the sacrifices we all have to make ( to share the burden equally among us) in order to make our ancient divine language great again and take pride in it.

      Wealth of Mughal India was held disproportionately by the elites. The common people were not much better off than they were hundreds of years before that. Also it is likely that in the 1600s and early 1700s, the average British person was wealthier than the average person in India. By the 1600s Europe was undoubtedly at the forefront of technology globally. Steel from Europe was imported to India to create "firangi swords". Recall that just several centuries prior, India was famed for creation of Wootz steel, prized throughout the world. But by 1600s India no doubt fell far behind the others. Mughal India made significant use of European or Turkish mercenaries and relied on their technology. But in general pretty much everyone was poor before the industrial revolution.

    I don't think colonization was good for India. What is more important is some areas they need to look into. Facts of India's Great History and the solution for India is to look into its past and its history in particular ... Areas like Pacifism, vegetarism and general physical fitness of the overall shape of the population is the key for its future. After the great Kalinga war, King Ashoka became Buddhist because of his wife was also a Buddhist as well. The entire country was transformed into Buddhisim and Janism. Also the levels of physical fitness even today due to lower protien intake in the areas of Manufacturing, Sports, Military and general health is at a lower level. By 2050 as the Indian Economy improves the protien intake will be better from 40 grams per day to 60 grams. All of India was 90 percent vegetarian during Ashoka's time. Today it is about 60% Another reason is Genetics. Indians have a R1-a and R1-b mt-DNA as compared to L0, and mt-60 mt-DNA sequence in Africa and South India, Sri Lanka and Andaman Island. The mt-DNA L0 gene pool has the fastest 100 meter men's track athlete, Usain Bolt from Jamaica, but originally he is from West Africa with a timing of 9.64 seconds as compared to India's Anil Kumar's 10.21 seconds in the 100 meter men's Track Event. The reason being the genetic pool from Africa has better Sprinter's. India's men and women 100 meter track loses to Sri-Lanka because of the Indo-African roots in Sri-Lanka. The Sprinter genes is as a result of a muscle twitch mechanism present in the African gene pool One way for India to improve its fitness for manufacturing, sports, military strength fitness level is to perform high temperature Yoga at 35 degrees C instead of 24 degrees C normal room temperature
