<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Someone most definitely needs to do this. I've come across (non-political) forums were some ignorant English person (male I'm guessing) said how "at least the British empire brough civilisation to countries like India,...". I fumed but had no pictures then to show of how they killed Indians with famines and robbed India till it was beyond poor. Besides, I did not know how to register back in those days...

Even I am fuming mad for the exact same reason!
But I could do nothing about it, without evidence.
It annoys me to see an Englishman tell me, "...but we built your railways and gave you the English language..."
Another new one I am hearing now is, "... we saved you Hindus from Muslim rule...".
So we badly need a History of the British Raj written from the Hindu perspective especially focusing on the genocide of 40 million Hindus through famines.
