I think that it is very important to note Mariposa’s mention of how imperialism and colonialism, two systems that are very much based off of greed, helped destroy the rich culture and religious freedom that India had. It would not be surprising if the history textbooks portrayed these events as “something that happened”, without taking full accountability. As Mariposa says, some of the events of India’s history had to be filled in by India itself, because the winner never portrays itself as the bad guy.

We have to understand the importance of our history, or we are doomed to repeat it. Britain colonized many places, very few under fair rule. But they are not the only ones. The Trail of Tears, the Spanish Inquisition, The Crusades, and more. Forcing a society full of culture and traditions to assimilate so that they can be used for profit; the same system used by the City of London.

If the system is not stopped now, it will not die, only migrate and assume a different name.
