@mrfactsspeaker @tradingwsidhant @iamyesyouareno Britishers looted less than any indian ruler. British colonialism objectively improved india: between 1880 and 1945 under british rule india's economy grew more than between 1945 and 2008 when india economy barely grew

DEBUNKING THIS THREAD - This p@jeeta is attempting to project the extreme lack of hygiene in current India unto Europe with a thread full of lies about Europe's past 👇
Emptying chamber pots to the street was banned & finned & almost every home had a nearby cesspit to throw the feaces. These cesspits would be regularly emptied by "gongfermours". Some nasty people emptied them into the streets but they were a minority 👇
She finds Romans using their own urine 2000 years ago disgusting but says nothing about indians regularly using cow urine and dung TODAY even believing it can cure Coronavirus 🤢
DEBUNKING THE ISLAMIC ORIGINS OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE / THREAD
In the last years claims that gothic architecture was stolen from muslims, parroted especially by Diana Darke, have gone viral in an attempt to discredit European civilization so i'll debunk many of the claims 👇
1/POINTED ARCHES
There is evidence of pointed arches being used in europe before islamic world like the 7th century pointed arches of a byzantine aqueduct in Cyprus & a 6th century visigothic mosaic from Cordoba depicting an arcade of pointed arches supported by columns 👇
The 2nd example is even more interesting bc the mosaic is located below the Cordoba mosque build 200 years after which also has superposing blind arcades similar to those of the mosaics. This also debunks that intersecting blind archades were muslim in origin like Diana claims
