India's Civilized Past - by Amit Tyagi

It is the only society in the world which has never known slavery.

India never invaded any country in her last 10,000 years of history.

India was the richest country on Earth until the time of the British in the early 17th Century

Robert Clive’s personal wealth amassed from the blunder of Bengal during 1750’s was estimated at around £401,102

It has been estimated that the total amount of treasure that the British looted from India had already reached £1,000,000,000 (£1Billion) by 1901.

Taking into consideration interest rates and inflation

this would be worth close to $1,000,000,000,000

($1Trillion) in real-terms today.

  1. Being an Indian after reading Amit’s view on India’s past, I feel proud to be an Indian, but really personally I am not able to understand when will we grow up and talk about the future of India. In present situation we are fighting with the basic problems like electricity and good roads, we all contribute to encourage the corruption when we give bribe to traffic police and break the traffic rules. Dear Colleagues this is the time when we can work out for India’s future, we need to be just honest for us.
