Really makes you think

Hygiene =/= Success of nation

keep this post in mind when Pakistan starts nuking everyone moslem rat

Should have took the scottish out the union jack for the brexit reality

You'd think Brits would be able to figure that one out

Now think what they could have accomplished under a national authoritarian government, like the Chinese, in addition to liberalization of the economy and massive trade with the West.

This kills the "fair" trade proponent

Cry me a rive pajeets, If India stayed on it's colonial trajectory it would literally be the wealthiest country in the world.
Enjoy your more poverty than sub-Saharan Africa tier independence.

>If India stayed on it's colonial trajectory it would literally be the wealthiest country in the world.
Reconcile this with the image in the OP

>le india was always terrible maymay

>really boils my bouillon cube
Look at how much Japan, Germany, the US and UK were able to grow after they became independent! Oh wait, it's almost as though everyone grew post WWII, coincidentally post Indian independence.

Forgot image.

Your graph shows that the UK's GDP per capita approximately triples from 1870 to the end of WW2. At the same time, India's increased slightly, then actually retracted again for decades, until independence.

Is it even worth using GDP as a comparison tool for pre and post ww2 economies. The world changed so much its kind of the apples and oranges argument.

and anyway OP probably just wanted to start a thread on a board as far away from /pol/ as he could find. Even though he probably loves /pol/. Fuckin OP, is and always shall be a fag

>Post the Islamic conquest India has never had a golden age.
Not as a whole no, but I'd argue some states did pretty well here and there regardless.

Are you being serious? I've seen astonishingly mathematical illiteracy in other Veeky Forums threads but this is beyond the pale. Literally every country's economy looks like that if graphed with time being linear on the x-axis. It's exponential growth and it's due to economic development and population growth.
The relationship should be especially pronounced for industrializing countries (they only have to catch up, they can draw on the intellectual accomplishments of western nations) and indeed it is typically but India's economy grew at a SLOWER rate than the UK's from independence up until the 2008 recession.
We could map the UK's economy in the same way and pretend that having to maintain the Raj was what was holding the UK back and the numbers would serve as better substantiation. Correlation does not imply causation.
Look at this anons image , If the wealth of the UK was predicated on India or the poverty of India due to colonialism how on earth are we to explain this?

Chinas GDP per capita is now 5 times that of India's.
During the latter days of the Raj India's GDP per capita was twice that of neighboring China!

If that were still true, and it might be if the Raj remained intact and was governed by Keynesian Brits rather than naive hindu traditionalists then the Raj would have about the same GDP as the European Union.

I didn't so much as imply that, nor do I think it.

>Raj remained intact and was governed by Keynesian Brits
This is the problem. Who would want to be cucks ruled by foreigners?

White servants when?

I always wondered if the sea tastes salty because of all the whale piss

It don't know but I still tell people that it's true and that I learned it from critical thinking

I don't know probably the dalits roaming the slums ignominiously because It make Gandhi and his disciples happy.
India was actually primed to become a major world power BECAUSE of the vestiges of colonialism. I don't know how you can be anymore cucked than pursuing a policy of "unlearning" and reliably exacerbating your economic circumstances.

Bullshit graph. Its using the PPP GDP figure for modern period, which doesnt make sense because the Power Purchasing Party during colonial period was the British PPP value. If anything, the PPP capita value fell off a cliff since then

They don't represent India's populace. Hindu nationalism wasn't restricted to one group.

It is due to modern technology not independence.

CHYNA was going through a literal civil war.
India started the reforms a decade and a half later than china, has far more political instability due to constant state level elections. India maintained it's democratic government throughout it's modern day existence while having some of the highest growth in the world.
Of course now all that is about to change because India needs some orange islam to become developed.

What the fuck are you talking about? India maintained nearly all of it's colonial institutions post independence, especially the bureaucracy which was nearly completely run by indians

Also the end of Nehruvian socialism, which is on par of the retardation of maoist China
