A very good evening my fellow steemians. How are you all doing?
Tonight's post is about a discussion which I had with a colleague today. During a huddle session, he passed some comments like India is poor country, we were ruled by British because we were dumb, we had no planning in terms of infrastructure or education, the only development India has is because of the British. After which we had a little debate as I didn't agree to this, why would a rich country like Great Britain waste even a single day in such a country.
Why would they rule our country for 200 years if we were poor?
Only to bring about development? To bring prosperity? Factually, that was not the case, British got attracted to India because of its rich history, it wasn't called 'the golden bird' for no reason.
We come from a rich background, we are still developing but we are no less than any other nation.
As far as my knowledge is concerned, sanskrit is said to be the mother of all languages, we have ancient scriptures which have content related to surgery and medicine it has mentions of Sushruta who is believed to be a surgeon, long before arrival of Hippocrates. So we were never lagging behind anyone. I wouldn't say it is best country but it's working really hard towards its development and one day it will become a developed nation.
