I dont know about other videos from PragerU. But 1 video from them said that India should be grateful that British ruled them. That my friend is a racist video.

Really? Being ruled by an outsider that brings modern values, technology, and ideas beats being ruled by a culture of castes and bride burning. Even Gandhi said he was very grateful for British rule and the improvements Britain brought to India. Discounting the ideas because the British were white seems racist.
More "racism:"
Britain should be grateful the Romans ruled them and brought civilization to savages.
Germany should be grateful the Americans ruled them and brought democracy over Nazism
Japan should be grateful the Americans ruled them rather than the Soviet Union
I would like to know what modern values and technology that british bought to India.
For starters, banning the practice of burning widows alive on the funeral pyre of their dead husbands.

“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.[To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]”

Hawaiians should lick the boots of Hoale, since if the US hadn't taken over Hawaii, the Japanese would have. Given the Japanese Imperial record in other Pacific Islands, the Hawaiians would have ceased to exist.

Ending the Kali Kult of Thugees, from whence we get the word "Thug" from. Organized Bandits who covered up their looting as some kind of Kali worship. By mandating the death penalty, spending vast sums on a network of informants and spies, and offering King's (State's) Evidence, the British exterminated the Bandits who murdered tens of thousands of Indians every year, often by pretending to be caravan merchants themselves.
Also unifying India to begin with, which for most of it's history was a polyglot of states with an occasional Empire ruling a part of the Northern plains.
Building a shitload of Railroads, which opened up huge swaths of India to commerce and development.
Introducing their educational and civil service system, one of the best in the world,...
This was practiced in one small section of the country

Not true - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)
Sati was observed within Sikh aristocracy
sati practice continued during the colonial era, particularly in significant numbers in colonial Bengal Presidency (modern Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bangladesh and Assam
Jahangir, who succeeded Akbar in the early 17th century, found sati prevalent among the Muslims of Rajaur (Kashmir)
Indians were forced to pay for railways 3 times what was paid in England. Couldn't build it themselves?
And I hate to take proof from wiki which puts lot of restrictions on who corrects them?

And yet I'll hear the British didn't pay the Indians what they paid Britons...
Why would exploiters want to pay more for a transportation system that's key to exploiting the country?
That's like a diamond mine where the owner wants to overpay 300% for the mine workers or mine shaft drilling, unheard of (unless it's some kind of socialist program and he pays himself out of fake overages).
A few other things:
Modern Medicine that works (not Herbal crap, proven ineffectual when you look at average lifespans and child mortality)
Industrial Production
Idea of Democracy
How many voters were there in the Moghul or Vijayanagar Empire? Did untouchables or farmers get to vote for King Venkata III? How often was the Kingly Election? The Vijayanagar Parliament?

They cite quite a few Indian authors in that wiki article.
I would be happy to get some information other than statements "your sources suck" from you, for example links to reputable historic investigations showing that sati was performed in a very small, Muslim-oppressed area of India.
If you want to believe statistician R.J. Rummel. He said at most 80,000 satis that happened. And India's population was 100,000,000 during that period.
That my friend is 0.0008% if you want to understand.

1. Link?
2. That is still 80,000 too many, I'd say. I was poking around and saw that last sati was in Rajastan in 1970's.
Can we have a separate thread for "Brits: Good or Bad for India"?
This thread is about Youtube banning "Anti-Socialist", aka "Hate" Speech.
being racist is not free speech.
It is not racist, it is a valid point of view supported by facts.
I am discussing it here to show that you cannot even acknowledge others point of view but you want others to accept your.
No, you said that people who believe Britain did good things for India were racists. It is not racist, it is a valid point of view supported by facts.
Pewdiepie is a racist. He lives in UK and he became one just like them. British were calling Indian's names and he too started doing it when we started loosing to a Indian channel.
do you even know what racism means?
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

It is not racist to believe one's CULTURE and governing systems are superior to others.
I am sure India thinks their culture is superior to Pakistan's - right?
People just started recognising that India had better civilization compared to others. Again not culture, civilization.
I did not know culture was important part of civilization. Then Indian civilization is not civilization. Indians didn't give a damn about culture because it is not permanent. Technology and knowledge is what represent's "indian culture" then. India is so vast and ancient that culture changes every 100miles. So there is no "indian culture" per se.
Some might complain that people are loosing their culture but changes keep happening.
You guys dont give up, You think India got all this technological acumen because british ruled it? 5000 yr old civilization and 200yrs of british rule is who gave them all this edge.

Yes. Products of the Industrial Revolution, and learning how to use them, is entirely British in origin.
India did not have the steam or combustion engines prior to the British bringing them over, and teaching Indians how to maintain and build them.
And then you say you are not racist?
indc saysAnd then you say you are not racist?
Yeah - piss off with your racist charges.
India has made some great strides in recent years, but it still has massive problems - namely being one of the poorest places on earth. I think India is #2 behind Nigeria in number of people living in extreme poverty?
It is not racist or bigoted to point out that India's civilization has some work to do to catch up with the 1st world - if your civilization values the well being and economic health of its people.
If civilization was only based on race as you seem to contend, your country would absolutely be fucked....
Are you "strategist"? I had same discussion with him. Just because you had 1 invention it does not mean you are superior. Yes you got lucky. India invented '0' and infinity and gave it to world that does not mean it is better "culture" than others.

So if you make a video about veterans deserving superior treatment, that's hateful? Or elderly people?
Of course, I'll be shocked if they don't pull all the Praeger U. videos while leaving up the "Men should be castrated" "Whiteness is Toxic" and "Anti-Termite" videos will remain.
Regulators, mount up!
