RE:apology from the british
by Murthy on May 08, 2007 09:45 PM


Indians were POOREST of major powers even in 1820s.

YEAR 1820

Comparison USA / Western Europe / Russia / Japan / China / India

Per capita incomes
USA - $1257
W.Eur - $1232
Russia- $689
Japan - $669
China - $600
India - $533

India is at the BOTTOM even them, when british empire had not even begun. and Delhi was ruled by Great Mughals.

You are all messed up and living in fool's paradise as if before British India was some sort of a paradise !


Surely KINGS and Mughal emperors were RICH VERY VERY RICH based on high taxes on 90% of the poor people in India but average Indian was DIRT POOR.
