All it takes to make any Indian patriotic is reading the *true* history of the First War of Indian Independence, 1857 (trivialized as Revolt of 1857). The kind of atrocities committed by the British rulers surpassed their Islamist predecessors. Even Wikipedia has the info...+
The "soft" strategy of the British post 1857 was to work with Nehru & Gandhi to weaken the country from the core, to make them incapable of a revolt of that scale.
As per estimates, from 1857-67, almost 10 MILLION Indians were slaughtered. Swallow that.

I honestly do not understand how what the British did in India in 1857 is in any way different from the Holocaust by the Nazis. It's just that Germany lost the war, their crimes exposed & Britain took a safe exit from India, after destroying the pulse of the country.
Can you believe it: there are NO OFFICIAL RECORDS for the death toll in the conflicts of 1857-58. Is that even possible for a nation which lived, breathed and slept on paperwork (British empire)-? No. If it does not exist, it is because they didn't want it to exist.
And note well, the kind of hatred that the British held for the "natives" at that time permeates all the literature of that period. Most authors carry that same bias as well. So it's not exactly a secret. But the scale of the crimes has been deliberately hidden.
