@KY11041@c80669@BellegardeSZN They literally can in America but choose to wear hijab. You are projecting your own sensibilities onto them and assuming they actually don't believe their own religion.
@KY11041@c80669@BellegardeSZN Burqas are exceedingly rare in the Maghreb as well it's mostly hijab so you don't know the first things about what you are talking about. Also religious mandate vs personal choice is a false dichotomy. They are believers so they choose to follow the ordinances of their faith.
@c80669@BellegardeSZN What an asinine thing to say, no one is talking about a single man doing anything. But are you saying they should be conquered and forced to stop being Muslim just not by you alone?
@thugaliers@tabsphere@miaphysite99 It was always in a state of fracture. The mughals are the ones who let the east India company in partially because they couldn't deal with the Portuguese.
Famine has been a part of the subcontinents history since time immemorial but I don't defend the refusal to aid bengal in '43
@thugaliers@tabsphere@miaphysite99 They never unified the subcontinent and were declining before the Brits took hold hence why the Portuguese could just bully them in the early 1500s without modern weaponry. If the Brits weren't needed why can't they unify today, why did it fall apart in real time when they left
@SundownSoc@tabsphere@miaphysite99 All of this was a drain not even mentioning the attempt to educate which I'm sure will also be taken as evidence of exploitation because everything is.
There were a few greedy businessmen and politicians who made money but it was only a drain on the Empire like other colonies
@SundownSoc@tabsphere@miaphysite99 Exploit how. The Raj under saw a year over year increase in textile manufacturing in India with a decrease in exports meaning more Indians than ever before were able to enjoy the luxuries of their own country. Made Indian an iron exporter, massive coal producer.
@harukaawake@nucleargudron Better than backing the globohomo American empire. Asanuma was no international communist, he was a national socialist and he was killed for opposing America.
@c80669@BellegardeSZN They shouldn't do it in America and Europe , we can't do anything for them in their country, and we wouldn't help by conquering and converting them.
@c80669@BellegardeSZN Most of the women are complicit in it and support their culture. It's their children and their country it's what they are going to do and they should do it there not in America and Europe. What am I supposed to do, conquer the Maghreb and force them to convert to Christianity?
