One thing I feel should be mentioned is that during the early stages of Europeans attempt to conquer India there were many Battles that they lost, as India had a modern army and weapons with similar weapons to the British, it was the declined of the Mughals and the privileges the British were given that slowly shifted power. Example when the British started purchasing and taxing lands plus being allowed to raise mercenaries armies caused the Mughals a lot in the long run which they didn’t see at the time. The moment they started loosing taxes played a big role and having large armies of local Indians while slowly tip doing further expansion lead to the rise of British dominance that and the fact that India was a divided place also helped. For example: during the Sepoy rebellion only one small province was experiencing it while the rest weren’t interested, if India was truly united during the rebellion Britain would have lost India. There’s actually a lot of moments where Britain could have been kicked out but careful planning and a lot of luck prevented that from happening. But it surely wasn’t as one sided or even close to a easy as people sometimes make it sound to be , it was a long and difficult process where anything could have gone wrong

Thank You! A lot of people assume it was some easy conquest of technologically superior Europeans defeating a “primitive” land running at guns with shields and swords when in reality they suffered countless defeats against an enemy experienced and innovative (just look up mysoreans rocket elephants or mhugal camel gunners) in gunpowder warfare especially in the wars against the Marathas, Mysoreans, Kalingans, etc and perhaps even more that we’ll never know because the British love to cover up their failures and disasters by destroying as much evidence as possible. So yes not easy by any means and the Sepoy Mutiny ended up collapsing the East India Company forcing the British crown to get involved.

It also shows that the British had to think tactically and not try to use overwhelming force to conquer their enemies because doing that would had been suicide. It was the slow and steady way that won out in the end it’s just a shame the people of India had to suffer so much as a result of the conquest, ironically now India is considered the worlds 4 strongest military while the UK is 5 or 6.

@@jonathanviera1589 India was a very large nation so the British really had to be careful and strategic with everything, they couldn’t just outright invade everyone, they would’ve lost much sooner if they did that. It was more of a case like this: Kingdom A and Kingdom B are big rivals. The British come and fight Kingdom A. Kingdom B supports this because they hate Kingdom A and the British are essentially doing them a favor. Kingdom A gets conquered and Kingdom B is idle thinking the British are their friends. The British go to the people of kingdom A and are like “hey we know you really hate us after what we just did, but we know you guys hate kingdom B even more, so why don’t you enlist in our armies and help us takeover kingdom B where you can get your revenge defeating your long time rival”. The British recruiting troops from kingdom A they conquered invade Kingdom B. Local puppet rulers are installed to rule over the kingdoms but also swear allegiance to the crown so long as the British let them keep some position of power and pamper them with privileges and luxury and therefore neither rebel.

According to Philip T. Hoffman in "Why Did Europe Conquer The World?", Mughal empire had difficulties to compete in advanced weaponry because they couldn't raise taxes as much as the British (and other European countries in general). High taxes were the norm in Europe, while in Mughal empire, they had to depend on their local lords and chieftains (who had became stronger as Mughal rulers became increasingly weaker prior to British arrival) for their tax revenues. It resulted in Mughal empire couldn't effectively invested in better weapons and raised army to fight British encroachment into their realm. And finally they themselves had to fell into submission before British empire.

Everyone knows that the current line of UK Monarchs, ever since King George I, flows from the house of Hanover. A German kingdom and at the time an electorat of the Holy Roman Empire. There is no hiding that. But the change to Windsor was a deliberate choice to signal to the people, we belong to you. We choose you. And also, all Royal Houses in Europe where intwined with the German nobility at the start of WO I. The whoe royals only marrying royals thing ensured that.

As an Indian, I would say, the modern United India 🇮🇳 only became one because, of the resentment towards the British rulers. Else, we were divided by caste system, religious, linguistic so many lines even now. Not to forget many good things the Brits did from banning the Sati practice (a religious custom for which we even have a goddess who performed it), to educating on child marriages and their subsequent ban, to inspiring women to educate themselves, the judiciary system, many good things that were done (of the many bad that were also atrocious and horrendous not to forget) Even now when I look at how feudalism exists in villages, caste and untouchability exists in many pockets of the country, to female foeticide to so many evils like human sacrifices to Gods, I think we as Indians have come a long way. There is no hatred from my side for the newer generation of Brits for what their forefathers did, especially when many Indians given the opportunity would love to move to a luxurious life in any country in the West and even wanting Free Trade from them on the other side. I believe, we still would've been a country where Marathas (who pillaged Bengal and Delhi) to the Mughals who also carried out mass crimes to so many empires that we had were only burdening the native people. So, it's a draw. Though, my favorite Independence Leader were Annie Besant, Bhagat Singh, to name a few, I totally condemn Subash Chandra Bose who wanted to join hands with Adolf Hitler despite knowing the horrors of Holocaust were appalling.

At least India only had one major European coloniser with some small Portuguese and Dutch influence, China on the other hand (Qing back then) got assaulted by several European powers as well as the USA and Japan during the Opium era which is also known as the "century of humiliation" sure it wasn't truly colonized but China got the "it's free real estate" treatment too.

Yes because the first Anglo Maratha war was lost because the British army and navy was focused in the Americas fighting the Americans, and later fighting of the kingdom of France and Spain. And the same was true during the second war, the British army was focused in Europe fighting napoleon, as was the navy. The British Army was never a majority of the East India companies forces it was made up almost entirely of sepoys. Wellington did have respect for the military prowess of the Marathas, however given the defeat he inflicted on the Marathas who by far outnumbered him shows they weren’t the equal to the British army, nor even as disciplined given what happened at the battle of assaye. If they were they would have lost despite having such advantages. The Marathas even has 10,000 troops trained in European military tactics.

If you add to this the total number of people who died by any cause that was a result of brits or their policies in all of their colonies then the number easily crosses hundreds of millions. Hence, the lady is correct on this point. Infact, the last great famine under british ruled India was the great Bengal famine of 1943, of which multiple photos and videos you can find in the internet including on KZfaq. When multiple concerned british officials wrote to churchil how his actions have created the most devastating famine of the world in the 20th centuary, he replied, " why hasn't Gandhi died yet ". India's contributions to the world : The Hindu numerical system, also known as the decimal base system which forms the basis of mathematics and is the system we use today, and which may as well be the greatest invention ever in the history of humanity, Madhava, an Indian mathematician who founded the Kerala school of Mathematics almost discovered calculus over 200 years before newton or leibnitz were even born, and a LOTS AND LOTS of other fundamental contributions to maths, physics, logic, philosophy, biology, etc. India is one of the 3 earliest, oldest civilization, namely, the Harrappan civilization (India), the Masopotamian civilization ( modern day iraq) , the Egyptian civilization.

India has also made tremendous contributions in the modern times in STEM and almost every field. On top of it all, the brits committed littoral atrocities in India and other colonies, the most famous of this is the Jaliawalla bagh massacre, whose committer was later treated as a hero, and when an Indian, named Sardar Udham Singh, shot dead him in London as a revenge, he was tried as a terrorist and hanged, his testimony before the court was recorded and I encourage you to read it.

There are several reasons. 1. Indian based empires didn't control Sri Lanka. When British land on Sri Lanka in 1796 CE, Dutches controlled coastal areas of Sri Lanka. Sinhalese Kingdom of Kandy controlled other all areas of Sri Lanka. It's a major reason why British didn't merge Sri Lanka with British Raj. 2. British East India company colonized coastal areas of Sri Lanka in 1796 CE. But people of coastal areas rebelled against British East India company with help of Kingdom of Kandy. So, British established dual control in 1798 CE. Due to further rebellions, British proclaimed separate crown colony called 'British Ceylon' by abolishing rule of British East India company in 1802 CE. British were unable conquest Kingdom of Kandy by a military campaign. But British colonized Kingdom of Kandy by signing 'Kandyan convention' with Kandyan officials in 1815 CE. British East India company started colonization in India in 1757 CE. But India became a crown colony in 1858 CE. Sri Lanka become a crown colony of Britain before India is also a reason why British didn't merge Sri Lanka with British Raj.

The Mughals had almost a million troops at their command vs 3000+ anglo troops and their allies how is that humiliating when they were outnumbered 300 to 1?

Humiliating the British was never a big deal, they were an insignificant country before conquering India. That’s why their conquest of India is so surprising

Britain did not colonise India. If it had there would be a large extant white or mixed race population. Britain colonised the eastern USA, New Zealand and parts of Canada, Australia, South Africa and Kenya. Britain's Empire was a trading Empire. We only ever ran 40% of India and only from 1857-1947. Just 90 years.

The point about technological supremacy over Indian powers is simply untrue. Many powers such as the Marathas under shindia and most notably and properly done, the Sikh empire, had outreached (in the case of the Sikhs) European technology by even British metrics. The Sikhs had produced everything from weapons of pistols and rifles to canons and ships within the empire. Most Indian empires armies were equivalent to that of the British or other European states with special significance to those of the Sikh and late Maratha confederacy armies. This notion of technilogical superiority is simple untrue.

@@wesleysanders8570 read contemporary European records. Especially in regards to the Sikh empire. British and other former napoleonic war generals stated that the Sikh rifles, matchlocks and canons were superior to those of the British and even Napoleonic ones, the Sikh army as well being the first Asian empire to have a fully modernized army being completed in 1827. Some books to read on the topic would be “six battles for India” by George Bruce, and any books about the Sikhs by Griffin.

@@wesleysanders8570 and further elaborating on this. The population of the Khalsa/sikhs was less than 500,000 yet they were able to conquer and rule over a large portion of South Asia being outnumbered 10:1 by Hindus, Jains, Muslims, Buddhists. There were even more Christians in the Sikh empire than Sikhs themselves.
