Britain’s 19th century declared imperial mission to uplift and civilize less-privileged people throughout the world. Comments from the online study into "another form of slavery" - indentured labour, after 1833:
In just 170 after indentureship British Guiana and the Caribbean has blended two Continents Africa and India and has produced some of the greatest rainbow Countries in the world. In addition they have produced Nobel Laurates, poets , Economists, US Congressmen and women, the Steel Pan, The Greatest Carnival and Some of the worlds Greatest Cricketers, The fearsome foursome, devastating Richards, Graceful and Greatest Batsman to play the game Brian Charles Lara “JUST A FEW OF THE POSITIVES”
I would forgo all those limited achievements Faiz if it meant this disgraceful and deceitful treatment of people from India never happened. I’m one of those born and bred Englishman who is not proud of the British Empire, despite right wingers saying we brought enlightenment, the rule of law, democracy blah blah blah to various ‘uncivilised’ countries. If anyone thinks we colonised these countries for the benefit of their inhabitants, then they want want their heads looking at. It was for OUR benefit and nothing else !
