    India was mocking Japan for a 0.3% economy shrink. But forgot India's economy shrank by 23.9% two years ago.

    As a Indian🇮🇳. I want to congratulate the Maldives ♥ on their smart decision in selecting the superior trading partner China instead of India. It will benefit the Maldivian people greatly. Here is why: - China is 60 times richer than India. (I know it's unfair that the British looted 45 trillion from India, but it is what it is) - China's economy is 6 times larger than India's. - China's yearly growth is 5 times greater than India's. - China has better living conditions and healthcare; on average, they live a whole decade more than their Indian counterpart. - China launches 20-50 times more rockets than India into space every year. - China is a lot more intelligent, with an IQ of 104 compared to India's 76. - China is more athletic and stronger than India, winning 713 more medals than India in the Olympic games. - China won 38 times more gold medals than India the last Olympic games 2021. - China's reserves is 7 times larger than India's reserves. - India is forced to use the Chinese currency when purchasing oil from Russia, Iran, or Venezuela. Due to weak & undesirable Indian Rupees. - China has 21 times more companies in the Fortune 500 than India. *Rovers on Mars* China: Yes India: No. *Brought back Lunar Samples* China: Yes India: No. *Humans in space* China: Yes India: No. *Space station orbiting above us right this moment* China: Yes India: No. *World coverage constellation satellites* China's BeiDou: Yes India's Navic: No. *Indian News* FirstPost: China overtakes US to become world's richest nation.

    Thanks for teaching us this important history event. As a proud Indian🇮🇳, I really love ♥ and have a lot of respect for the incredible work of Palki's highly captivating story regarding *How British looted 45 trillion from India* which unquestionably stands as a masterpiece of the highest quality. The content of the reporting is truly inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The dedication, talent and hard work poured into the video are greatly appreciated by many. The Indian Union Public Service Commission has delivered a remarkable report titled संघ लोक सेवा आयोग *How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies* | UPSC," is equally astounding. The Indian government consistently produces insightful and thought-provoking articles of the utmost caliber, and I sincerely hope they continue to produce such interesting exceptional work. Can it even get better than that? It should deserve an award for best report of the year. Thanks for telling the truth. Your show was really entertaining. I adore your passion

    Drawing upon my expertise in the behaviors and nesting habits of Indians, I can definitively state that Indians did not resist the invaders; instead, the invaders, including the British and various others, eventually withdrew when there is nothing left but a population of one billion Indians grappling with poverty and illiteracy-a challenging situation that nobody was eager to tackle.

    1.8 Billion makes sense. India today on average loses 10 million people per year due to natural cause or illness. So in 200 years they would lose 10million x 200 years = 2 billion people. Imagine 1757 - 1947 times when India didn't have any healthcare like today and life expectancy was much much shorter with mass malnourish (Bengal Famine + 15,763 other major famines) and were forced to work to their very bones losing their lives in the process.

    Discovery of crude oil reserves have changed the fortunes of several countries in the middle east. There was a time when the middle east did not have a single thing that they could sell to the world, and after the discovery of crude oil reserves, they had everything that the world wanted to buy.

    I have been in the oil & gas exploration business (not anymore). Your piece is very informative. I am a fan of watching Ur shows. My 1st contract was a similar story when we had drilled 2 appraisal wells & found water. The last well we had to drill was an exploration well & just left with a million dollars, this well would cost us around $ 7 million. I was heading the company. So I called my Chairman, a risk-taker & a Scottish highlander who has since passed. After explaining to him that we could not leave the Asian nation without fulfilling our commitment, we had to give them over 5 million $ dollars. He asked me about the chances of a hit, as good as the 1st two. How do you personally feel about it? Frankly, pretty good. "Go ahead & we will find the money. This was in 89 & I was in my mid-30s. That kind of gas find is what gave that country 33 years of free & much-needed energy. The rest is history. Your piece reminded me of my maverick days. Thank you, ML
