#1 One of these things is not like the other, one of these things does not belong...

1. Britain essentially partitioned Pakistan and India.
2. Japan was colonized? By the people that dropped the Atomic bomb? :) (Whiteface bastards!)

Beware the fruits of kooky revisionism.

#3 Good points, but there is a minor thing that bugs me...
I'm a bum, so don't expect historical precision from me, but doesn't the writer forget something about India's colonization...?

Namely the bloody colonization and subjugation by the muslims, way before the relatively short and benign british era?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_invasion_of_India

It is a very selective view of what is colonization : apparently, only whitey can be an imperialist, with his "adventurers", "pirates" and (of course) "evangelists".

The pious, peace-loving arab muslims, who essentially killed 80 millions hindus or wiped out entire north african berbers* civilizations, killing hundred of thousands and replacing them with arab tribes, are NOT colonists nor imperialists... no, they were just spreading the One True Religion, that's entirely different.
Too bad the identity, history and culture of whole people were erased in the process, but I guess that's the price to pay for being revealed the Master Religion...

*the original, absolutely non-arab, inhabitants of "Maghreb" (which means "western Arabia" by the way), now second class citizens in their own lands, especially if they didn't convert, like the egyptian copts. So many people in the garbage can of History... and a good preview of the future of Europe.

#4 The author and Nobel Laureate VS Naipaul in his book "among the belivers: travel amongst the converted peoples" makes the point that history books recall the "arrival of the muslims" in the Indian subcontinent. He asks if they "arrived" on a tour bus since that is the connotation of this word. Most history books gloss over the invasion and slaughter and forced conversion to Islam of millions of the Indian subcontinent's peoples, the wiping out of Buddhism from the land of its birth (how many people erroneosly think that Buddha was a fat Chinese guy rather than the historical Indian Prince Siddhartha).

The most chilling thing in the Naipaul book is a fact of archeology. When excavations were made at the site of the oldest mosque in the Indian subcontinent (in what is presently Sindh, Pakistan) it was found that a layer of human bones covers the site.

The oldest islamic place of worship in India is built on top of the bones of the slaughtered inhabitants.
