Zed posted:Much of what is posted in the original piece is debabatable and debated.
This is a particular narrative. Much if not all of what we read as history is part of a particular narrative and viewpoint of history, a particular philosophical approach.
Additionally, quite a bit of the “facts” used to make the arguments is questionable, unidimensional and deterministic. there seems to be a lack of recognition of the dynamism that existed in colonial India and British colonialism, the dynamics in the colonies, that there was the global labour development and migration that existed under British colonialism, the many impacts of British capitalism on the Indian economy., that immigration stared early in the 19 th century, the many returnees to India from the West aindies, the diversity of religions and backgrounds of the immigrants. etc.
Also, one needs to look also at tthe recent scholarship on East Indian Indentured Immigration.
You cannot take everything written as fact. There are nuances to everything!
