[r3alist]

Yes, it was a bad day for british loyalists and collaborators.

Here is the sequence of event

So were the parsis the most trusted British collaborator's?

Khilafat riding piggyback on Hindu support again. 102 years on.

no parsis were most educated and since they consumed non veg and liquar and had no fixation about going beyond indian waters for trade like hindus then british used them as there trade agents and beurocracy in indo china and china and india when they started full time trading in asia

rather it was Muslims who first invited ahmed shah abdali to attack india to control and defete marathas and when he could not and even sikhs took away abdali empire and maraths regrouped again muslim nawabs of hydrabad , awadh and bhopal and bengal started supporting british to defete maraths and sikhs and later collobrated with british to devide india and even today first became collobrtotors of USA and today doing dirty job for china looks like nothing changed for muslim elite of sub continent only they keep changing there masters

So basically they made themselves useful to the British, the major power of the time

What Rivino and his pet tropes will not say is that Parsis were simply one group of trading middlemen making a fortune.

There were many other Indian origin groups.

Hindu. Muslim. Christian.

Who are in today's India also the wealthiest groups.

Same opium trade. No difference.

Yes, ship building was mainly us and the Mallus down south.

We were also very big in cotton (my maternal side) and silk.

Burma teak belonged ro us.

All "minorities" were trusted by the british to collaborate with them to promote their own interest over the majority.

The smaller they were, the more trusted they became.
Parsis and Anglo-Indians and coogies/kovudas were micro minority, so they were the most trusted. Only parsis were smarter and anglo-Indians were mostly mostly children of brothels or low caste converts.

Another minority community the Jains escape scrutiny because of their low profile. But they too have a interesting past. There is a reason they own Bennett Coleman & Co. today (Times of India).

Sikhs got their SGPC and got to take over the Hindu temple of "Hari Mandir" today called the Harmandir saheb Golden Temple. Got farm land and army/police employment.

Did anyone say they had a monopoly?

Obviously if there was an opportunity to be a useful middle man the parsis would oblige, combination of sniffing good business and being useful to power.

The smaller the minority the more trusted.... hmm not sure on this.

Agree about the jains though.

The biggest opium traders competing against the Parsi monopoly were the Hindus of the Sindh cartel.

Not a minority by any stretch of the imagination.

It was a regular drug war those days.

And we were the drug lords who won.

Have posted the detailed history of the 3 cartels (there was a Muslim one too) on Strategic Front years ago. Couldn't be fugged to go back and look though.

Cheers, Doc

even earlier and even today when there were riots recently in jaipur it was muslim mobs looting the shops same hapenned in UP or Bihar or kharkhand or acouple of years back in karnatka

This Hindu giving random names when THIS YEAR, the entire world saw Hindus depopulate parts of Manipur of Christians, and engage in the most heinous rape and looting. No doubt Sanatan has taught this radical that Hindus are allowed to loot because of karma or whatever nonsense term his radical gurus feed him.

as for hindus well 70-80 years ago very very less hindus use to consume meat or liquar and liquar

Partition literature is filled with plenty of references to Hindus getting drunk before they go out and commit Sanatani acts. 20 years earlier in a place like Bombay...not much of a difference either.

looting was considerred as one of the most henious crimes in hindus "jaghanya apraadh/paap"

Don't be a Hinduphobe by telling me Sanatan has rules - it's a hippie club where you get to do whatever you want and be a Hindu. So it's perfectly acceptable to riot and loot and remain a Sanatan - just look at kattars like Babu Bajrangi. Anyway, the "lE hEiNoUs CrImE tO hInDoOj" line is gobar because the very same Hindus went on to carry out a riot the exact same way in 1929, when they targeted Pathan Muslim workers at a steel mill.

There were many groups who did not collaborate to make a fortune.

Coorg Rifles was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army established in 1767, but they had to be disbanded after they failed to recruit tribals in 1902.

Same is true for most tribals in India. From Jarkhand, to Andhra to North East. Most refused to collaborate with the british.

Kashmiri pandits did not collaborate either.

Not every minority has the same story.

I have never heard of the Hindu Sindh cartel that did opium trade since Opium trade itself was started by the East India company to pay for the Tea they imported from China.

And the Opium itself was forced grown on Bihar and Bengals farm land and processed and shipped out from Kolkata.

Wrong.

Which part ?

 

[Musings]

@Guru Dutt
You start be posting decent stuff then gently introduce your natural hatred for Muslims - then retaliation occurs then ruining of a decent thread occurs. I suggest you stop it now.
This forum is attempting to show a level of decorum. Stop throwing stones as you are libel to get a brick back in your face and a ban - last warning

 

[Rivino]

the ammont of mocking of sanatan gods and cultar done by so called sekulars and muslims or christians is only allowed cause we hindus are tolereant had we got the keera of sar tan se judda even 10% like muslims do not even a single sekularist be talking anything against sanatan dharm but they do and get away with it

Trust a Hindu to make a virtue out of necessity.

 

[Hiptullha]

be ggreatfull that there are majority hindus and we are not like muslims cause had hindus 10% at voilent and merciless

LMAO this is what your Hindus and Sikhs were saying in Punjab. They were the aggressors with armed death squads planning on enslaving us and still ended up kicking us out. Now Gangetic Hindus like you fantasize just like they used to. Give me a break.
