    The very fact that this is even a question makes me a little sad, but we can't exactly blame the people who have this question these days for it. Generation upon generation has been subjected to and put through a largely Eurocentric education system (especially when it comes to the 'history' we are taught and the lens we are taught to view it through), as well as a lingering inferiority complex that is, unfortunately, still harboured by many Indians today. That makes me all the more thankful for people like Mr. Chavda who can respectfully counter this narrative and introduce a different viewpoint in doing so. Keep doing what you do, sir!

It is the pacifist nature of Indians that we continue to be "respectful" of such depths of nonsense. The suggestion that, _Well, the British just shat in our faces and not in our mouths. So, that has to be good._

    "All colonisers are brutal... All colonialists are the same. They don't care about anyone else's human rights."
    Perfectly surmised, Mr. Chavda! Extremely balanced argument supported by historical and statistical facts. We must come out of this illusion of 'benevolent British colonialism' once and for all.
    As a linguistic professional I'd fully endorse your analysis of the English language. Yes, "We must find ways to get over this mental colonisation." This is one of your best videos.

      Brazil speaks Portuguese...it has forgotten the languages native to its land...Brazil was a Portugal colony and adopted the Portugal language ..so where's the self respect there? ... India still speaks hindi and other regional languages native to its land..besides speaking English ( we also speak English cuz we were colonized by the English / brits) which is an added bonus.. if not for anything else ..we can atlesst connect with the world community in a much better way than others who can't speak English ...learning and speaking a new language is never a bad thing... just imagine with the kind of backwardness and poverty we have today ..if we even didn't know English we'd have been in total shambles. The newer generations of China , Japan, Germany, France , eastern Europe have all started learning and communicating in English.. English has been introduced in there education system and so many of them are found of various language portals and social platform looking to practice their Englsh with native English speakers ... so all those counties have understood the importance of knowing English which is the lingua franca of the world.. so nothing wrong on knowing and adopting English language..which can help us to connect with international community more easily and in a better way

Isn't this the fault of our governments and teachers that they failed to teach us about our true history?

One can see this trend a lot wherein parents feel the need to school their children in English, as if schooling them in their mother tongue is not going to sound serious enough. I look around and see people teaching their children ABCD at a very young age and these same kids grow up struggling to speak their mother tongue with proficiency!

Those days, foreigners came into India for trade, education and invasion. Thanks to British, Indians are going to other countries for education, employment and others. And we take pride of having an advantage of knowing English as it furthers our opportunities. Above all, the stigma of colonisation still haunts the Indians.

But all regional people should agree to this because this would mean a lot in computerization commonly and has ever so many advantages without losing the ancient texts in one's own language. People should understand a Rose is a Rose in whatever name you call it. Similarly glory of any of the Indian languages would not diminish if script that can unify is adopted.

      Wealth of Mughal India was held disproportionately by the elites. The common people were not much better off than they were hundreds of years before that. Also it is likely that in the 1600s and early 1700s, the average British person was wealthier than the average person in India. By the 1600s Europe was undoubtedly at the forefront of technology globally. Steel from Europe was imported to India to create "firangi swords". Recall that just several centuries prior, India was famed for creation of Wootz steel, prized throughout the world. But by 1600s India no doubt fell far behind the others. Mughal India made significant use of European or Turkish mercenaries and relied on their technology. But in general pretty much everyone was poor before the industrial revolution.
