Description
The book "The Case for India," authored by Will Durant and published in 1930 during his visit to India as part of his research for "The Story of Civilization," serves as a compelling critique of British occupation. Durant boldly asserts that England, through its colonial rule, had drained India to the brink of destruction. He points out a stark contrast: prior to 1757, the year when British occupation began, India did not experience major famines. However, over the subsequent two centuries of British rule, millions of lives were lost annually to famine. Durant's historical analysis reveals a distressing narrative of British aggression, highlighting that the 19th century alone witnessed a staggering 111 wars waged by Britain in India. These conflicts were not merely battles but calculated attempts to annex lands from princely states.
