Or u just don’t know history. Colonialism is PARTIALLY the reason these countries are underdeveloped. Colonialism has long impactful consequences.

Colonialism for the countries I mentioned ended less than 100 years ago

Colonialism literally caused the ethnic tensions to get so bad in India that they had to form 2 new countries 💀

Never mind how the British internalized the caste system into their government there, literally baking it into their institutions too and affecting employment, immigration patterns, and living conditions to this day.

The British raj ended in 1945 and succeeded the company raj, which lasted from 1765 until 1858. All in all the British were in India for 180 years, and were in India as recently as 80 years ago.

You don’t understand the basics of the history that you’re discussing. How am I supposed to trust your historical analysis if you don’t even know the chronology?

None of the countries I mentioned are in Africa. Aren’t we talking about Asia?

Can’t forget about Portuguese and Dutch India, although the Dutch played a larger role in Sri Lanka
