Comments by "Peter Jacobsen" (@pjacobsen1000) on "How Britain Stole $45 Trillion from India with Trains | Empires of Dirt" video.
Whether a country should be grateful or not for things left behind by colonial powers is entirely up to the people of that country, not for people of other countries to decide. However, this video seems to put the reason for all the ills of India at Britain's door. Perhaps the answer is a little more nuanced. After all, Britain had no particular interest in the partition of India and probably couldn't care less, but it was a demand by Jinnah. And even if the trains hadn't been there, wouldn't the Hindus and Muslims have killed each other anyway?
