ooooohhhhh boyyyyy
anyway
no colonization would have been nice, but i don't see how india wouldn't have been colonized tbh. if not the british, then certainly the portuguese (who colonized goa anyway). or the french (who colonized puducherry and other regions anyway). or maybe the dutch. they too were here. our country always had lots of spices (which is what the european colonial powers first came for - and still can't handle in their food anyway). additionally, i simply cannot imagine an india that hadn't gone through colonization tbh.
but you know, there is something i would delete from our country's history in a heartbeat. it was anyway a result of colonisation, but i'd still change it. the partition. so many lives lost, so many atrocities committed. and people today still live with the trauma of partition. many have never gotten the chance to see their hometowns one last time before passing away. it's affected my family too, and i know many others whose families were affected. so yeah, that's what i would change.
