How did England fail at colonizing India ?

>[
then why is it such a shithole they colonized the Caribbean and and most Caribbean islands could be classed as 2nd world nations & india is like a toilet meets a rubish bin

The very bloody Indian mutiny started because they thought we would try and convert them.

In the as soon as the British Empire lost India the empire collapsed because poo was the crown jewel of the commonwealth way bong

From a central, religious POV it was a disaster.

One of the core beliefs of the Raj was to eradicate Paganism in India and instead replace it with Christianity. The Brits spent billions of pounds to try to convert North Indians for a hundred years. They ended converting less than 1%. India resist Christianity damn near flawlessly.

That's not a failure to colonise though dense Yank.

we are invulnerable to hurricanes to close to venezuela but those fucking venezuelan cockroaches are flooding our country go in and fix the shit you created america

India in general is doing alot better than those caribbean countries, yes the have shitting streets and people in mega poverty but all in all i would say its more successful.

Then why did Goa become a strong outpost of Catholicism? What did the Portuguese do right that the English got wrong?

It is if you don't have the land anymore bong boy

user you dope, America, Australia, Canada, were all colonized by us. You have a look at Spanish colonies and name me one even fucking close. Or hell, look at Mayotte, right shitshow

you should have thought about that before knocking the US out of the world cup

>Bong bragging about Plassey
>Never mention the defectors

66% is hindu in goa.

>mugal empire
anyone here play empire total war? those guys are pushovers. a whole nation that brings mostly swords to a gunfight is gonna lose.

The end goal of colonialism isn't to keep territory forever.

It literally mentions the defectors pal. It's an impressive victory.

Goa was under control for hundreds of years more, though that still wouldn't have had too much of a success but Goa is a teeny tiny little state compared to the rest of India and it's vast population. The muslims tried for damn near 1000 years with more inhumane practices and they couldn't even convert a quarter of the population.

You should Google George Curzons quote on losing India.

That's because lots of Indians have moved to Goa since Portugal left

Guess who fucking betrayed us at Suez, fucking raped up Portugal as well. Americans forcibly fucked Africa to try appease it's own blacks (much more stunted than African Black's for they were bred for aggression)

well you see they first succeeded then they made the indians a cohesive group, a race even in some regards, then the strengthened subcontinent got tired of doing what daddy said.

>those guys are pushovers.

The Hindus certainly didn't think so.

He was right but that doesn't mean we didn't colonise India.

This. The end goal is to develop the countries enough that they can afford to invade you.

the Spanish even held a town in Michigan for a few months, back in the pre revolutionary days. not too shabby...its too bad, you know.....USA and all that. the Monroe doctrine kinda screwed things up for everyone, hehe. not that that was a bad thing. we had to put our foot down.

the Caribbean benefit from proximity to THE RICHEST NATION ON EARTH

The user was right, Goa was under control for a bit more; and not to mention better colonized.

Remember user, the true faith always finds a way.

The Portuguese didn't use harsh methods, that's probably why they did better

How many hindus do you think the muslims killed in those 1k years?

Neither did we.

Governing India at all is a huge challenge

With the exception of the Great Famine, the Brits weren't all that bad

india has china & HAITI IS closer to america & is A shithole

You colonized India, but just barely. The Raj failed to reach just about every goal required to fully colonize India, be it religious conversion, socio-economic development or the continued unimpeded access to India's massive market.

Perhaps. If the Brits actually tried to improve the nation without robbing it blindly, the population would've seen the benefits of Christianity. Instead they just saw the horrors (for the most part)

I thank God everyday that I don't live with poo in a loo.

We lost India when we lost faith in ourselves and decided to negotiate with the nationalists. At that point the Raj was doomed to end.

Yeah, but the English could have done a better job

Even if you count things like using cow and pig fat bullets to suppress rebellions?

Something like a modern equivalent of 200 million people comprising mostly of Hindus.

The East India Company at its peak had more soldiers than the British Army.

yea, ill never get why they never took India for themselves, but at least there's a good game to see how things would be. if you play the USA full campaign, Brittan has partially colonized it. after a while, i understood that on turn one, i have to help the Mugals beat the hell out of the Maratha and the British...or well, the British beat the hell outta me in the war of 1812...well i try to start it around 1812. gotta beat the game by 1820 something, so thats not a ton of time. its either i make myself allies with the Muslims or i'm screwed by naval power....fun game, would love it if Brittan wasn't so god damn brutal on hard. i want a challenge not a damn flogging. inia means everything and it took me months to figure it out. ARG i wish the main campaign could be multplayer!

user they also held the Falklands for a few months doesn't mean it's theirs

no no no, but its an interesting note for history. the way things worked out are very interesting indeed. in a slug fest for control of the new world, no one won in the end.

The British army before the French revolutionary wars was, including militia 25,000 men strong.

It didnt you gimboid

Its a shithole because we gave it back.
Just like all the other shithole ex colonies.
Its almost as if this is a reocurring pattern

It wasn't a great place during. In fact it was unarguably a worse place after the British got their hands on it. The Muslims ended up doing a better job of governing India then you blokes.

No, you had an arm of 60,000 (though wikipedia says 40,000) for the invasion of Canada just 20-30 years before that

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War

OP are you retarded?

Oh ok, you are.

>gimboid
you are the muslim infested shithole now and dont even think of it your not welcome

India has areas that make the Caribbean look second world, and areas that make it look first world. It's pretty massive.

fvck pooz

Of course they could have. But they failed where Catholicism was ordained successful.

They did not have direct control over most of the country. Most of land were princely states who merely payed taxes to the governal general. Much like how the countries across the world pay to IMF
