This is akin to victors writing the history of the vanquished. How many American Western movies depict the generosity and the bravery of the native Americans??
Do you know of a single British movie depicting the courage, intelligence and skill of the German and Japanese soldiers?
Hence we can imagine what kind of 'history' these British officers and administrators must have written or the slant there in.
The history of India, written by British authors was in a nutshell is that until the invasion of India by Alexander the Grea there was nothing worth mentioning in India. Yaaawn!
After Alexander, the Greeks taught civilization to Indians and gave them the Western ideas.....Then came the Shakas, Huns, Kushans etc. They also kept teaching the natives. In the eighth century Mohammed bin Kasim invaded India. It marked the begining of the Muslim rule. Then came the Ghazanvis, Ghoris, Gulams, Turks, Afgans, Khiljis, Tughalaqs, Lodis and Mughals. They were very brave and noble. They carried out reforms after reforms.
Lastly came the English. They could not tolerate the prevailing anarchy. 'We rule India' they said. Some kings accepted their protection. Those who resisted, collapsed like a deck of cards. The British taught peace and prosperity to this troubled land. Under them everyone is happy. They introduced rule of law which Indians never knew before.
Wow!!!
Applause!! Applause!!
Seriously I am not expecting someone as high as you to understand this.
