Why was India?

[โ€“] IamFree@programming.dev 22 points 4 days ago

Because Brits exploited the resources. For eg in Bengal famine Brits were exporting rice, whereas Indian people were starving and other reasons were high tax imposition and debt trap on farmers. The forced Indigo farming in 1/4 of the farm made the soil less cultivable for the next time. Many reasons.
