@BovrilG Very blackpilling to know that answering "yes, obviously" to this will simply drag me into a low-octane cycle of technicalities with this unensouled hylic
Just some of what the British did in India to enrich native understanding of their own history and culture:
Charles Masson first described the ancient ruins of Harappa in the 1840s.
Alexander Cunningham founded the Archaeological Survey of India in 1861. He and later archaeologists mapped, surveyed, and excavated hundreds of ancient sites across South Asia.
H. C. P. Bell discovered/excavated the old capital of Sri Lanka, Polonnaruwa, which was forgotten since the 13th c.
The Dravidian language family was first discovered/ identified as a distinct, non-Indo-European group of languages in 1816 by Francis Whyte Ellis, a British civil servant. Dravidian was later properly identified by Robert Caldwell.
In so doing the above distinguished the Indo-Aryan language family as a unique subgroup of Indo-European, first identified in 1786 by the British judge in India, Sir William Jones.
Jones' linguistic work also looked at mythology and contributed to the idea of a unified “ancient Indian religion” - this was popularised by Max Müller who formalised the idea of a single “Hindu religion” based on Sanskrit texts - and he used the term "Hindu" " which first appeared in a 1787 letter by Charles Grant, a British East India Company official.
After 1871, British administrators defined “Hindu” as a separate religious category distinct from Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, etc. The unified modern Hindu identity depends on these events.
James Prinsep deciphered the Brahmi script in the 1830s which unlocked forgotten knowledge of the Ashokan inscriptions and early Indian historical chronology
Henry Thomas Colebrooke rediscovered the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali lost since 16th century. Helped establish academic Sanskrit studies in Europe
Buddhism mostly disappeared in India during medieval times, but ancient literature was rediscovered in Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka etc by Brits;
Brian Houghton Hodgson collected the Mahāyāna sutras and Vinaya (monastic rules).
Charles Henry Allan Bennett introduced Buddhism to the West and fostered its growth in Burma and Sri Lanka.
A. H. Fox Strangways made important early contributions to documenting Indian classical music traditions - recording and systematising observation of Indian music.
The incredible thing about the left isn't that they doing have zero theory of mind for the right, it's that they have zero theory of mind for themselves. They are utterly lacking in self-awareness, blind to their own motivations because not only do they have to lie about their motives to others, they have to lie about their motives to themselves.
Leftism requires a continuous process of not-noticing. They have to not-notice sexual differences, racial differences, and so on. They then have to follow this up by not-noticing their own acts of not-noticing. Their internal narrative control mind parasite edits inconvenient facts from their awareness, and then covers its tracks by editing the act of editing itself. They literally don't know what they're doing.
In advanced cases their psychology effectively ceases to be human: humans are sapient, self-aware organisms, and the mind virus destroys self-awareness. We say that leftism wears institutions like a skin-suit, but it does the same thing to leftists.
Which is how you find leftists posting howlers like, "leftists don't want to exterminate white countries".
@joehaleylover44@hayasaka_aryan Yeah one of them was spiteful, uneducated, violence-enabling, race-baiting, retrograde, and utterly unwelcome in polite society, and the other was Charlie Kirk
@nikicaga "We don't want it, we just vehemently advocate for any and all policies that inevitably lead to that outcome"

Incredible how quickly Zack becomes enthusiastic for government databases of migrants, border controls and “you wouldn’t want to live next to em’” rhetoric as soon as Israelis are involved
