We never hear much about India, and this is why, it's a barbaric place once you get outside the tourist destinations. The caste system is akin to slavery really and until that changes the place will remain an 18th century shithole with a 20th century veneer.

Half the country doesn't have running water or toliets, and it's not safe for women to travel alone. In fact you don't let your female family outside. Means the dudes have no women to fuck so they rape who they can.

Another twisted legacy of the British Empire. While the rest of the world was moving into the 20th century they kept it locked up, their Jewel in the Crown to exploit at will.

And they know it, and they're mad. If Indian politicians could ever stop stealing all the taxes, and they got their military together, they'd probably accidentally nuke themselves trying to attack Britain.

It's Britain's fault they still don't have toilets almost a century later? Yeah okay.

They have lots of toilets, have you never been there? But the toilets are for the well to do, the poorer castes, the vast majority, have none, and the corrupt government certainly has no intention of building out the infrastructure. The British only handed the India over to the wealthy ruling class in 1947, after 200 years of total exploitation. While the Indians were shitting in the streets of Calcutta, Britain was testing nuclear weapons at maralinga in central australia. They had quite a technological lead. The same has occurred in nearly all the old colonial nations of exploitation; Indonesia of the Dutch, Algeria of the French, The USA even did it with the inhabitants of the Marshall islands nation.

You have a very limited knowledge of these issues don't you? I'd offer some links but I know you wouldn't bother following them. I think I'll just let you go on making ignorant one line comments. Which BTW is akin to shitting in the street lol, Oh yes it is lol lol

So why are you putting all the blame on the British?
