Also during the Raj, the British opened fire at Amristsar with 379 civilians killed and more than twelve hundred wounded by the 1,650 bullets fired by the colonial troops over the duration of ten minutes.
在英國殖民期間，英國殖民軍隊向阿姆裡斯特薩開火，在10分鐘內，造成379名平民死亡，超過1200人受傷。

If India was so prosperous and advanced how were the Brits able to take over since they were outnumbered by the natives probably 10,000:1? Im not asking about the morality of colonization...Im asking how it happened?
如果印度那麼繁榮，那麼先進，英國人如何能夠接管，印度人口跟英國人口比，可是10000:1啊！我現在不是想追究殖民是否道德……我想問的是這是怎麼發生的?

The British brought modernization, electric, education, taught them English, and built civilized structures. The British brought civilization and education around the world.
英國人帶來了現代化，電力，教育，教他們說英語，建造房子。英國人把文明和教育播撒到了世界各地。

India alone built England's economy, according to Cambridge History of Economics, the money that was taken from India by the British equals to $3 trillion. Today UK's GDP is $ 2.6 trillion. Had it not been India, UK would still have been a 3rd world Country. Even now after Brexit UK is still looking for India for investment, India is already the largest investor in UK investing $150 billion a year. UK is still highly dependent on India, some things never change.
根據劍橋大學經濟史，英國從印度獲得的資金相當於3萬億美元，印度以一己之力撐起了英格蘭的經濟。今天的英國GDP是2.6萬億美元。如果不是印度，英國仍將是第三世界國家。即使在英國脫歐之後，英國仍希望印度投資，印度已經是英國最大的投資國，每年投資1500億美元。英國仍然高度依賴印度，有些事情永遠不會改變。

The Western Empires were mixed bags. Yes they brought civilized values and technology. They also brought astounding cruelty. In the Belgian Congo the penalty for not making one's rubber quota was to have one's hands cut off. And certainly the English in Ireland were cruel to the point of genocide.
這個西方帝國是大雜燴。沒錯，他們帶來了文明的價值觀和技術。但他們也帶來了令人震驚的殘忍。在比利時的剛果(金)，如果一個人沒有達到自己的橡膠配額，就會被砍掉雙手。而且英國在愛爾蘭也殘忍至極，甚至進行了種族滅絕的大屠殺。

英國人盡了最大的努力，但印度的大部分地區仍然還是那樣。

太令人驚訝了，100年後變化這麼少。這些照片中，可能有一些是上周拍的吧。

Judging from many of the comments, I understand why so many Americans I've met don't disclose that they are Americans when they travel. Terrible.
從許多評論來看，我明白了，為什麼我在旅行時遇到的那麼多美國人都不願透露他們自己是美國人。糟透了。

Since british leave India and Burma, and french leave Cambodia and VietNam , theses countries dont know freedom and liberty. All dictatures .
自從英國人離開印度和緬甸，法國人離開柬埔寨和越南，這些國家就不知道自由為何物了。都變成獨裁政府了。

Is there any question of how the Brits treated the Indian people and why they pushed for independence?
有沒有人想過，英國人是如何對待印度人民的，為什麼要推動印度獨立?

Shows upper class British contrasted against the common / low class Indians. Where are photos of the British common folk and military in India; or the Indian upper castes?
這顯示了英國上層階級與普通印度人之間的對比。英國平民和軍人在印度的照片有嗎?還有印度上層種姓人的照片呢，有嗎?

If it was not for the Brits, India would still be a geographic area of tribes speaking 300 languages.
如果不是英國人，印度仍然是一個部落地區，說著300種語言。
