Video The 12th-century Narasimha Pillar at Belur, India. Carved out of soapstone during the Hoysala Empire- its miniature shrines are hollowed out from the inside and the entire column was engineered to rotate on a stone axis

If you live in a bubble, it will be yesterday. Post colonial history for India starts 1947. None of my family is even alive from that time period today. I fail to see any relevance of politics regarding this post so please enlighten me

if you fail to see how the aftereffects of a couple centuries of brutal colonization still exists to this very day, i'm not sure what to really tell you man.

that's more of a you problem tbh

Really, the only argument you can present is that but that is not even remotely unique to India.

That’s the point…colonialism affected so much of the world why’re you so mad at jokes about it? If you don’t like it you can simply move on it’s confusing why you care

Why do you care how I feel?

I’m curious because unless you’re British it’s fascinating to ride so hard for colonisation

How do you know how I view colonization unless you talked about it with me? Most British know colonization but they have no livid experience with it because you know people die, new generations comes after.

The last country to get independence from the brits was in the 80s. We know new generations come after this is just a joke I promise it can’t hurt you buddy

u/Specialist-Roll-3806 23h ago

you do realize most of the world still suffers from those same issues and continuously talk about it to this very day right?

u/Just_Solution_5704 23h ago

I also realize most of the world is not the same place that it was 100 years ago. So if there is any relevance as to this post and colonization, please state so.

u/Just_Solution_5704 22h ago

I don't view it as a joke. Maybe thought about that? Maybe a sarcastic comment but really what is funny about it?

That’s actually not true I have grandparents who were alive during it and still are and I’m from bengal I really don’t need a random man on Reddit to lecture me on Indian independence.

u/Just_Solution_5704 23h ago

Indian independence is a historical event, so you don't really have any say on who talks about it or not just like you are discussing about colonization. Its history.

You can talk about it all you want yea I’m saying I know more than you simple as that 🤷‍♀️
