@scorpionx can you answer me this?

If Black skin is seen as bad in India, why are black people so awesome?

Especially Jamaicans.

Let's not forget Haitians. The first ever slave people to overthrow their colonial masters.

Let's not forget about our own Santhals in the tribal belts. They are honest to the core, hard working,full of joy and equally restistive to any exploiting regime, be it the English or the feudal lords.

The Maori for 40 years resisted the British settlers.

There were many wars fought between the British and the Many tribes in New Zealand

Te Kooti's War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Titokowaru, who had fought in the Second Taranaki War, was a most skilful West Coast Māori warrior. He also assumed the roles of a priest and prophet of the extremist Hauhau movement of the Pai Mārire religion, reviving ancient rites of cannibalism and propitiation of Māori gods with the human heart torn from the first slain in a battle.[4] Although Titokowaru's forces were numerically small and initially outnumbered in battle 12 to one by government troops,[1] the ferocity of their attacks provoked fear among settlers and prompted the resignation and desertion of many militia volunteers, ultimately leading to the withdrawal of most government military forces from South Taranaki and giving Titokowaru control of almost all territory between New Plymouth and Wanganui.

Titokowaru provided the strategy and leadership that had been missing among tribes that had fought in the Second Taranaki War. His forces never lost a battle during their intensive campaign, but abandoned their resistance after being pursued into their headquarters in the swamps of Ngaere by Colonel George Stoddart Whitmore, commander of the colonial forces, on 25 March 1869.[4]

Titokowaru's apparent invincibility created a security crisis in 1868, with the government fearing attacks on Wanganui and Manawatu. Yet according to historian James Belich, his achievements were gradually watered down to the point where his name was erased from the most widely read New Zealand histories. Belich concluded: "As a result, the military crisis of which he was the principal architect – perhaps the greatest threat to European dominance in the history of New Zealand – has all but disappeared from the received version."[1]

The Maori were fierce warriors. But they simply did not have the numbers.

But it is remarkable that a primitive people were able to stand toe to toe with the British forces.
