- WE see that damage economical , psychological, and also human lives in India by British. The huge massacre at Jaliyanwala bagh, which no one can forget. This is just a instant memory, there is much more than this. Shashi says, Indians do have tax system but it is liberal, like when there is draught, at that time peasants got relaxation from tax but Brits are not like that.
- What British does is they broke the trade which was practiced in India. India's cloths, he gave two names of city Dhaka and Murshidabad, both are famous for their cloths but Brits take all raw to England make cloths there and sell it to India in double prize, they have sold Indians their good with double prize.
- Brits used to do violence physically but they also have done great harm on people's mind. India, where every color people lives, Brits came and consciously or unconsciously conditioned the mind of Indians that white is superior, every other color is inferior, because of this still today the people of India believes white as superior and wish to have white skin. India do have caste system but Brits are the one who gave India racism also.
- so, all know that how the our country being victimized by British people and our society being damage-fully by they.
