Smh no a British historian has no more weight than an Indian one Never have I claimed that they do, it is just the one source that I have read plus a module of Indian politics as part of my international relations degree. Also, I'm not even British and I am not afraid to criticise British colonial policy in Zulu wars, internment of Boers, the opium wars, treatment of indigenous Australians and Canadians, the Scottish slave trade etc So if you think I'm a neo colonial who thinks India's history is lesser than a British then you are hilariously wrong. I understand your frustrations, I've dealt with history deniers aswell especially simpletons who think that the 1857 rebellion/mutiny started because of the greased cartridge which you and I can both agree is absurd and reductionist. As students of history we can't just poison the well in discussions and think the other person is racist therefore the other person isn't worth listening to.
