    At a point they held 25% of the worlds GDP!

    That’s more likely a thing the British made up to promote East India as a mythical, historical and spiritual place to drive in investments and maybe tourism.

    It’s also hilarious when Indians use British historians to show pride when they say outlandish good things (mostly unproven) or maps depicting the region and then shut down any arguments when they say bad things calling them invaders and biased and such.

    It’s almost like you can’t trust both.
