The famine would go on to kill 6 million to 10 million Indians.
That image of the man holding the staff, while him, and his family are basically skin covered skeletons is etched in my memory
That specific famine killed 6-10 million but the total deaths from british occupation of India is estimated to be 100 million. It is genuinely insane to me that Britain is not more hated.
Hated by whom? Do Indians or countries in the middle east like Britain? The US and most of western, central and southern europe all have their own colonial crimes that are hardly better. If you live in one of the former colonial powers, there’s little reason to hate Britain any more than your own country.

I mean, the idea of India still holding some form of ‘grudge’ against Britain for its colonialist shitheaddery is not really in-line with reality. Most Jews don’t hate Germany anymore either. Most opinion polls regarding the opinion of Indians on Britain range from indifferent to mildly positive.
The way some people attempt to peddle grudge politics, far beyond questions of reparations but of things like “It is genuinely insane to me that Britain is not more hated.”, is not really much more than fascist fantasy.
Most Jews don’t hate Germany anymore either.
Considering they probably live in a country that is a former or current colonial power, it would be somewhat hypocritical if they did. Also, Germany (and most other western countries, especially the US) is a useful stooge for Israel’s “interests” now.

… since when do people consider hypocrisy when regarding their personal feelings?
Glorification of revanchism doesn’t become okay just because it’s self-hating. Nor does such a ‘blood feud’ viewpoint reflect modern realities of how societies think.

… okay? What does that have to do with the opinions of Jews in general?
It’s racism pure and simple. Liberals do not view Indians as equal so they are happy to ignore the mass murder Brits did during their imperial control of the world.
Johnathan Swift had a Modest Proposal about the Irish famine. Maybe it would have worked for this one, too.

What does this have to do with trump and Greenland and guillotines and I hate this timeline?
