Why is this comment down-voted? It is absolute truth. British empire was racist, made Indians slave, and was imperialist murderous entity. Good riddance to it. I hate that India was ever colonized by Britishers. They brutalized the population and plundered the wealth.

> I hate that India was ever colonized by Britishers.

Did you prefer it when 'India' was colonized by the Mongols?

Or perhaps the post-Mongol period when hundreds of States ruled by greedy Princes fought amongst themselves?

I'm not apologising for the Empire but it's erroneous to believe that the British landed on the shores of a peaceful and harmonious landmass and suddenly imposed all sorts of previously-unseen nastiness.
