Introduction
·
What is written in this chapter on India is
yet again a perfect example of what the Christian Europeans did to the entire
world; from the Americas to Africa to India and all the way to the Far-East!
·
Up to 30 - 60 million Indians could have died from
just the British engineered famines in just 190 years of the 350 years of British
invasion. This number is not counting how many Indians the British killed while
invading India first.
·
Gujerat in 1807 had plenty of rich families
but by 1849, “… have now scarcely clothes to their backs…”, thanks to
the British. (www.scalar.lehigh.edu)
·
… “Mr. Giberne remarked in 1840 of the
deterioration of just the Gujerat region in India”. He mentioned that the
wealthy class of Indians with carts, horses, and attendants, and a great deal
of fine clothes and jewelry were now all gone! (www.scalar.lehigh.edu)
·
Now just imagine this was actually happening
to the entire country of India and imagine the middle class and
the poor. They all suffered!
·
Don’t forget by the 1850s would be 250 years
into British invasion and another 100 years of destruction more to go!
·
I do not want to call this British
colonialism. This is British invasion, genocide, theft and destruction!
·
History is written by the winners (the Rich
and Powerful). So, none of this will be taught in any school.

·
India recorded 31 major famines in the
190 years of British rule, compared with only 17 famines in the preceding 2,000
years.
·
Close to 30 million people
died due to these British-engineered famines during the Victorian Era (1837-1901) alone; the total number of
famine-related deaths during just the 190 years of British rule in India is
estimated to be more than 30 - 60 million.
·
Prolonged exposure to frequent food scarcity
contributed to a genetic predisposition that makes the Indian population more susceptible
to diabetes when exposed to modern diets and sedentary lifestyles.
·
With an estimated 101 million people
with diabetes today, India faces a serious health crisis.

Indian Famine
"For miles round you heard their yell for food," https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36339524
In May 1866, it was no longer easy to ignore the mounting catastrophe in
Orissa, India. British administrators in Cuttack found their troops and police
officers starving. The remaining inhabitants of Puri were carving out
trenches in which to pile the dead. "For miles round you heard
their yell for food," commented one observer.
The Indian and British press carried reports of rising prices, dwindling
grain reserves, and the desperation of peasants no longer able to afford rice.
Warren Hastings of England https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/writers/judd/1938/04/india.htm
At the famous trial of Warren Hastings in England, it was revealed that
in 1771 – a year in which the East India Co. reported a large increase in its
dividends – at the same time one-third of the Bengal population, i.e.,
10,000,000, had died as the result of a ghastly famine!
The 18th Century, the century which saw the British East India Company
at the height of its power, was for India a time of unequalled pillage and
destruction, outstripping even the efforts of Spain’s Conquistadores in
Mexico and Peru.
"Many of the best families in the province, who were rich and
well to do when we came to Gujerat in 1807, have now scarcely clothes to their
backs.
Our demands in money (taxes) on the talukdars are more than three times
what they originally paid, without one single advantage gained on their parts.
Parties, from whom they have been compelled to borrow at ruinous
rates of interest, enforced their demands by attachment of their lands and
villages; thus, they sink deeper and deeper into debt, without the chance of
extricating themselves.
What, then, must become of their family?”
Key Points
·
India only had 17 famines in 2,000 years
until the British came and then there were 31 major famines in less than 200
years.
·
The famines happened because the British controlled
what the Indian farmers were allowed to plant and controlled irrigation. The
British forced many of the Indian farmers to stop growing food crops and
instead grow cotton and opium etc… that
the British could sell and make money for themselves.
·
The British paid almost nothing for the
products that the Indian farmers grew and then sold it to English factories for
huge profits.
·
The British then imported back the finished
products like textiles/clothing for 5 times the price for another huge profit.
India made all these products themselves before.
·
Indians who now were struggling from no work
due to destroyed factories (by the British) and ridiculously high import taxes
and high-income taxes, that they could barely afford any of these products.
·
Heavy land taxes were placed upon the Indians.
The result has been described by Isaiah Bowman in his book “The New World”:
https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/writers/judd/1938/04/india.htm
o
“Pressing upon the people of India in a
manner to produce great distress is the land tax, in addition to which
is the water tax in the irrigated areas. The land tax keeps the mass of
the population in a state bordering upon slavery. “
o
“Millions cannot get sufficient food.
At the end of his year of labor, the farmer finds his crop divided between
landlord and the government. He must go into debt to the village shopkeeper, requesting
credit for food and seed in the ensuing year.”
·
Indian families, already weak from starvation,
were having to bury in shallow trenches their starved to death children and
then dead spouse and then hoping a neighbor was strong enough to bury the final
parent who will be dead pretty soon after. THIS IS SAD!
·
The British controlled what was planted by
the farmers, for food and for sale to Britain.
·
Food for British people was reserved first,
and they also had plenty of money to pay for the higher prices during food
scarcity.
·
There was some food available for the Indians
during the drought, but because most of the Indians did not have any good jobs
since the factories were all destroyed by the British in order to send raw
materials to England instead, the Indians could not afford to pay for this higher
priced food during the drought.
·
During World Wars 1 and 2, the British again reserved
food first for themselves and the military, leaving only the now higher priced
left-over available food for the Indians.
Chart above is a short example of how many
Indians died from the British engineered famines in India.
Conclusion
1.
The British had plenty of food to eat even
during the famines. But the British just watched the dying Indians while
discussing why it was not a good idea to import food in for the starving
Indians.
2.
Indians starved while English homeland had
sufficient food to eat and sufficient raw material to feed their famous “Industrial
Revolution”
3.
The mighty “Industrial Revolution” in
England was really fueled by the Indians/Products while the Indians were
starving.
4.
British called themselves “Gentlemen”?
Now I know that this is a lie!
5.
Very sad that Indians today know nothing of
the British atrocities.
6.
Very sad that Indians today do not know of
how great India was prior to the invasion and destruction by the Christians
from Europe!
7.
Next chapter I’ll look at the $64 Trillion
dollars stolen from India.
