1908 US "Atlantic" magazine on how British starved and bloodsucked India

mar 4th, 2009

we posted this article on this blog before, but it's worth reading again.

it's time for a new nationalist movement to rid the country of the bloodsuckers of the kkkangress. why are they so reluctant to ask switzerland, leichtenstein, etc. to reveal the names of those who hold numbered accounts in those countries? i guess the answer is obvious.

i am delighted that the americans have got UBS to disgorge the names of 800 american account holders who were evading taxes.

now for some 'clawback' and 'disgorgement' from these folks, as well as from the fat-cat bankers who made so many billions!

i would love to see some 'clawback' from p chidambaram, manmohan singh, the nehru dynasty, et al.

Pls pass the article below (written 100 years ago in a US magazine) to
anyone who still feels that India was inherently poor or that its
religion made it so.

Brits created famine after famine killing tens of millions throughout
their rule and drained the wealth of India to keep themselves rich and
fight their wars etc. whilst there was no per capita increase or true
economic development in India. This  American writer from 1908 could
see through the self-aggrandizing propaganda of the Brits as is still
peddled in the likes of the BBC1 "The Victorians" this week .

Four decades before Indian independence, a writer raises the question,
"Why is England in India at all?"

by Jabez T. Sutherland

The New Nationalist Movement in India

The Nationalist Movement in India may well interest Americans. Lovers
of progress and humanity cannot become acquainted with it without
discovering that it has large significance, not only to India and
Great Britain, but to the world. That the movement is attracting much
attention in England (as well as awakening some anxiety there, because
of England's connection with India) is well known to all who read the
British periodical press, or follow the debates of Parliament, or note
the public utterances from time to time of Mr. John Morley (now Lord
Morley), the British Secretary of State for India.

Will Durant has written a book in 1930 titled "A Case for India". His account of British loot, pillage and plunder makes horrific reading. This book is highly recommended reading.

Incidentally, he says the British were even worse than the Muslims in looting India, though that is no credit to the latter.
