While I was travelling on my best golden triangle tour of India through India historical tours. I was surprised to know all historical events this country India has faced. My best guide in India explained how India Gate & Qutub Minar changed the face of India. What a wonder India was and how mass illiteracy & poverty was spread by East india company from Britain and Holy warriors from Afghanistan. These two events – arrival of East India company in 1757 into politics and Holy warriors rule on Delhi in 1192 have great impact on how India looks like today on India tour.
First we visited India Gate on our best golden triangle tour. It is an arch which gives strong competetion to the Arch of Constantine in Italy. The Edwin Lutyen never went to the formal school for designing but he was great observer and through self study became the master of Architect. Inn 1921 the construction was started and finished in 1931. It is called War memorial. India soldiers participated in World war first (1914) under the flag of Great Britain on the promise that India will be set free from British Raj. But English denied this later and took you turn.
1757 when English started intervening into politics that was the starting of end of social welfare systems and starting of high tax payment system which is still seen in India. Earlier Hindu Kings used to see the locals as their child and supported them with social welfare schemes during tough time and removed the regular taxes for short time to give them strength to surpass the tough time. But East india company commanders & governers were brutal in policy making for locals. Their idea was to create a state government which takes an every penny out of the pocket of locals and give them nothing back as social welfare system.
I was shocked to know the data & facts on this best golden triangle tour about this all money which was shipped to England for Industrial Revolution and locals of India went in to poverty for 230 years. Total 45 trillion dollars were drained out of Indian economy. Even today in 2024 Indian economy is only 4.5 trillion dollars. Now how the world will justify this act of loot with locals. Today when India send spacecraft in the space then many countries question the will of India. India has right to go to space to advance in science where Europe took lead and India remained behind due to holy warriors rule in Delhi
Yes, on this india tour my best guide in India taught me that English rule brought poverty and locals lost money but how Hindus of India who invented mathematical digit zero, number system, weekly days system astronomical calculations, tax collection system in 4rth Ad became illiterate in 1757. Why English commanders were able to fool these local , honest , simple and spiritual local population India ? This happened due to the rule of turks from Afghanistan. Turk king Gauri attacked India and left his turk slave commander as King of Delhi. His name was Qutub din Aibak. His childhood was harsh and got no formal education. So he destroyed many Indic education instituions and temples and built Mosque and madrasa to show the might of Islam.
When the Indic temples were destroyed no one was ready to pay salary and patronage to the brahmin teachers of the gurukul education system. So all these teachers left the city and went back to their villages. That’s why we see today in India that in small small villages the ancient education traditions are left but in the cities all large Hindu temples and education systems of Indians were lost.
