A Bengali woman carrying a British merchant on her back…
📸 This photo was taken in 1903, at the height of British colonialism in the Indian subcontinent. This isn't just a picture…
it's a slap in the face to all those who sing the praises of "Western civilization." This is the true face of colonialism, which they still try to beautify in history books.
It's slavery and the humiliation of human beings, the crushing of human dignity, simply because they don't belong to the white race! And then they ask you about terrorism…
The history of Western colonialism is full of massacres, slavery, plunder, and starvation… But they reduce terrorism to oppressed peoples struggling for their dignity! 🩸
The effects of what British colonialism did in India—the killing, starvation, plunder, and contempt for humanity—are still evident today. Millions
were killed, wealth was stolen, and generations were displaced… all under the banner of a false "enlightenment"!
Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.
Yes, Britain famously transferred wealth to India. When British arrived in India its share of the world economy was 4%. When they left in 1947, they had taken it to 23%, roughly equal to all of Europe combined.
On a serious note.
The Indian railways were financed entirely by bonds sold on the London Stock Exchange. British investors were guaranteed a return of 5% per annum by the colonial government. A guaranteed return, in an era when no other safe investment in Britain offered anything close. And who guaranteed those returns? Indian taxpayers. Indians paid for the construction. Indians paid the guaranteed profits to British shareholders. Indians paid for the equipment, which was manufactured exclusively in Britain and shipped to India at inflated prices. One mile of Indian railway cost twice what the same mile cost to build in Canada or Australia, because the guaranteed return meant there was no incentive to control costs. The more it cost, the more British investors and suppliers earned.
And what were these railways designed to do? Move raw materials from India’s interior to ports. Cotton from the Deccan to Bombay. Jute from Bengal to Calcutta. Coal from Bihar to wherever the Empire needed it. Tea from Assam to London’s drawing rooms. The routes connected mines and plantations to harbors. Not cities to cities. Not people to opportunities. Raw materials to ships. The Indian public’s transportation needs were, as Shashi Tharoor put it, entirely incidental.
Oh, and the railways also moved troops. Very efficiently. So that when Indians protested being looted, the British could deploy soldiers to shoot them. That was the other “infrastructure investment.”
But wait, there is more. Before the railways, India had the world’s finest textile industry. The British smashed the looms, broke the weavers’ thumbs (this is not metaphor, this is documented history), imposed tariffs on Indian cloth, and shipped raw cotton to Manchester to be manufactured into garments that were then sold back to Indians. India went from being the world’s largest textile exporter to an importer of British cloth within a generation.
The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated 3 million people. Churchill diverted food supplies from Bengal to already well-supplied British troops and European stockpiles. When informed of the famine, his response, on the record, was to ask why Gandhi had not died yet. This is the “infrastructure investor” Musk is defending.
India contributed 2.5 million soldiers to fight in two World Wars on Britain’s behalf.
So let us summarize the colonial “investment” in India. They took a 23% global economy and left it at 4%. They destroyed the world’s finest textile industry. They built railways with Indian money, for Indian resources, generating British profits. They engineered famines that killed millions. They drained an estimated $45 trillion in today’s value over 200 years.
That’s some unprofitable adventure.

Dear @PMOIndia
A few days ago, you urged people not to spend Indian money abroad.
So, kindly bring a law mandating that kids of ministers & bureaucrats study only in India.
Their children should also experience the policies & infrastructure their parents create for our kids.

@Anand Ranganathan
The statement made by T V K’s @TVKPartyHQ “s legislative assembly member Mustafa — “We have entered the political field only to eradicate Sanatanam” — is highly condemnable.
A Muslim, and especially a people’s representative, speaking derogatorily about the Hindu religion and declaring that it will be eradicated is an act that severely damages religious harmony. Will Mustafa, who criticises Sanatan Dharma as a way of life, dare to criticise the Islamic faith? Will he come forward with criticism of Christianity?
Thinking that one can say anything and everything just because one has a mouth and is in power is a clear reflection of arrogance.
Chief Minister Joseph Vijay @TVKVijayHQ has so far not condemned either Udhayanidhi Stalin’s speech on Sanatanam in the Assembly or the remarks made by DMK MLA Mustafa. For a Chief Minister who claims to be the leader for all people, failing to condemn those who criticise the way of life of the majority community does not befit the high office he holds.
Sanatan Dharma, which is eternal and everlasting, has never been destroyed or eradicated by anyone born in the past, nor is anyone born now capable of doing so, and no one who will be born in the future will ever be able to destroy it either.
Narayanan Thirupathy,
Chief Spokesperson,
Bharatiya Janata Party.
Days after DMK MLA Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke about eradicating Sanathana Hindu Dharma on the floor of the legislative assembly, TVK MLA Thiru VMS Mustafa came in support of Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks. Not only is this very unfortunate but also it shows the level of hatred they harbour in their minds towards an eternal Dharma that helps us to lead a meaningful life!
DMK & TVK, in their very short history, have proven to the people that they are two sides of the same coin. DMK has forgotten what their constant attack on Sanathana Hindu Dharma has brought them to. TVK will also soon remember.
If either DMK or TVK had the courage of conviction, they should have openly declared during their election campaigns that targeting Sanathana Hindu Dharma would be central to their politics. Instead, they hid behind secularism & theatrics, only to reveal their true intentions after seeking votes from the very people whose faith they now insult with arrogance and impunity.
Please be reminded, Sanathana Hindu Dharma is not your punching bag! I sincerely hope their remarks will not go unpunished by our people.
