Today in History

re: Today in History

I think situation became worse due to enmity created between the people that a quick decision was made and accepted without assessing the results. No one knew in which country there area is going to be included. British played well in creating enmity by following their 'Divide and Rule' formula.

re: Today in History

Conquerors are always selfish. They come, loot and go away. People praise British for making bridges and roads, but forget to see how much wealth they transferred from their colonies. Today their generations are living on our wealth. Our antics and valuables are in their Museums and their loyal slaves are masters of our countries :hoonh:
