I find it telling that you don't think India would have figured out some of the issues without the British's "help" is pretty classic colonialist thinking. And without the British they would be back to "pre-colonial" times right now. That's wild.
And why do you keep going on about that one factor? It's barely relevant in modern times. Many uncolonized countries are also doing fine with their infant mortality rate, with or without colonization. Why? Because global medical collaboration, change in poverty rates, and higher education rates. Raising infant mortality rates is also to the benefit of the British. More people alive means more labor and resources, it was not from the goodness of their heart. If you have statistics comparing infant mortality rates of previously colonized VS uncolonized countries and that shows something of statistical significance, then we can talk.
Constant internal wars are part of a nation figuring it out. China had Warring States for hundreds of years before unifying. They did it without "help". I'm sure India would have been fine too without interference. I've heard the same brain dead logic that Aboriginal tribes were fighting amongst themselves anyways, so the British did them a favor too.
And I can tell you don't know anything about India's history because the British co-opted and greatly exacerbated the social effects of the caste system to their benefit. The rigidity made the people easier to exploit and govern, by dividing the people. Please read up on it.
Anthropologist Susan Bayly writes that "until well into the colonial period, much of the subcontinent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance, even in parts of the so-called Hindu heartland… The institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early 18th Century".
In fact, it is doubtful that caste had much significance or virulence in society before the British made it India's defining social feature.
This and the Hutus and Tutsis are prime examples of colonialists stirring the shit. That not only killed grandma, killed all her children, and grandchildren too.
My friend from India said this once. The British are like when someone visits your apartment and they brought cake. Then proceeds to smash your TV and kill your grandma, and steal your safe. At least you have cake I guess.
I legitimately thought this a while back. American indoctrination is sleepwalking people into being comfortable with autocracy.
I have an American coworker whose family are undocumented from the Philippines that overstayed their visa. He himself has no papers when he was brought here as a child, and right now is just a green card holder through his husband. He is constantly astounded that they are MAGA, but have no energy to deal.
This has been a common pattern globally. A lot of other wealthy countries only have stable (desired for economic growth) population numbers/growth only because of large scale immigration. ie. US and Canada. Which countries like South Korea, Japan, or China are still quite strict on.
Doesn't help that child raring has become exceedingly expensive per child as well in wealthy countries.
My baseline is that everyone's human, and we come in an rainbow of dispositions. Humans who create valuable cultural assets or are in the public eye are still just human. Never idolize anyone.
Please address all my points.

Why do you think only white people had extensive medical knowledge. That's so ignorant.
Wow, very original rebuttal. Thank you. Sorry, I'll add it's also bad when the Japanese colonized parts of East Asia.

Yeah, not particularly a good trade off.

It's the same in Canada
On top of that there are expensive academic tutors and extracurricular activities that are seen as necessary in competitive countries.

It's meant to be the same. It's a fork of Firefox
In Chinese, verbally the world for he, she, and it are all the same pronunciation. It is only differentiated in writing.

Not that I don't love this for them.
But this source is really odd, it's not a reputable new source, and has no citations, and very much an opinion blog type site.
Is there a better source for the story?
Rona was sold to a US private Equity company in 2023
Wait? They are unobtainable now? What happened?
I'll also pay less taxes on my forever home. So I'd also be happy.

Proof that (good) games don't need free to play to be supported over time. Can just have people pay the upfront price and keep rolling.
I do hope their finances are in the greens to keep going.
A culture that doesn't appreciate food allows it to happen slowly.
Ah yes, proprietary parts also get you.
Is it easy to repair, or also deliberately made difficult?
Group fitness classes also play their music way too loud. Had to get some ear plugs when going to them. I am concerned for the trainers and regulars.
