Generations later when people want what isnot theirs.

几代人以后，人们想拥有不属于自己的东西。

These people would be better employedlobbying the Indian government as to why it spends billions on nuclear weaponsand billions on a space programme, yet hundreds of millions of its people haveno access to basic rights such as electricity, clean water and basic medicine.

这些人应该去游说政府才是，问政府为什么花那么多钱在核武器和太空项目上，而几亿的印度人连最基本的电力，清洁水源以及基本的药物都无法获得。

I believe it was given to the Royal familyby its owners. Given. That's what a gift is. Ok so now nearly 100 years latersome people regret that. I regret that Churchill  gave away the breakthrough technology that Britainhad made in jet propulsion to the yanks and the Russians, that been's far morethan that diamond. We also gave away  -patent free - the technology for the very first antibiotic.   Do you thinkwe can  to recover the lost riches ?  

我认为这颗钻石是其主人送给皇室的。是送的，所以才叫礼物。然后100年后，人们开始反悔了。我也很后悔英国将自己在喷射推进方面的突破性性技术送给了美国人和俄罗斯人，那可比这颗钻石有价值多了。我们还免费赠送了第一个抗生素方面的技术。你认为我们可以将这些损失要回来吗？

When Britaincame to India,it was the richest nation in the world. After giving India"civilization" and leaving Indiaby igniting a fratricidal war, Indiawas left one of the poorest in the world. Something similar happened in Egypt and manyother countries.
The EU needs to be careful, as their aresigns that Britainwould like to exit the EU in similar fashion, leaving a trail of destruction inthe wake of retreating Pax Britania.

当英国来到印度时，印度是世界上最富有的国家。赋予印度“文明”并要在离开印度之时引发内战后，导致印度成为世界上最贫穷的国家之一。类似的事情也发生在埃及和很多其他国家。
欧盟要小心点，因为有迹象表明英国想通过类似手法离开欧盟，也就是在退出欧盟之时给欧盟造成巨大破坏。

You need to get better informed, mate. Yourcomment on this topic don't have anything to do with reality.

你好像并不了解啊，伙计。你在这个问题上的看法完全和现实脱节。

Well said.

说得好。

What utter rubbish.  It only took a couple of thousand Britishsoldiers to subdue the whole sub-continent.

一派胡言。英国只派了几千名士兵就征服了整个印度次大陆。

What an idiot. India as a whole country did notexist. If we were to take back everything that has been given to India,the country would simply disintegrate

真是个白痴。当时并不存在印度这个国家。如果我们将送给印度的东西都要回来，那印度将会分裂掉。

Britain provided civilisation to India as well as many otherplaces.  Just look at what has happenedto most of them since they gained independence in the 60s.  The empire was a huge achievememnt of whichwe can all be proud.

英国将文明带给了印度和很多其他国家。看看这其中的大部分国家自1960年代 独立以来都发生了什么。大英帝国本身就是个巨大的成就，值得我们所有人为之感到骄傲。

Please read history, it was Lord Maculaywho said that when he first visited India in 1700s he did not find onepoor beggar. Rest is History.

请去读读历史，是Maculay勋爵说当他在18世纪访问印度时没有看到一个乞丐。剩下的就是历史了。

They were actually far richer before Britain came togive them civilization. Indiawas the richest country on earth, since the time of the Romans. There arerecords bemoaning the loss of billions of gold Sestertius in the trade with India.

实际上，在印度被英国赋予文明之前是更加富有的。当时印度是世界上最富有的国家，是罗马时代以来最富有的。有历史记录为在与印度交易中而损失的巨额古罗马金币而感到惋惜。

Oh yeah, sure, India once the richest country onearth. LOL!
Before the Brits came there was no India.The region was comprised of small weak countries  that constantly quarreled between each other.The country of India oftoday is only possible thanks to the British Empire.

是啊，印度曾经是世界上最富有的国家。笑死了！
在英国人到来之前，根本就不存在所谓的印度。该地区由弱小的国家组成，互相之间不断的发生战争。印度之所以成为今天的国家，那多亏了大英帝国。

Bullshjt. Your knowledge of India is asscant and partial as is your knowledge of the present day.
When the East India Company came to India in the early 1600s, India was ruled in its entirety bythe Mughals. By the early 1700's the Mughal Empire covered the entiresub-continent... from Kabul to Calcutta.

胡说。你对印度的了解相当缺乏，就像你不了解当今时代一样。
当东印度公司在17世纪初来到印度时，印度作为整体完全由莫卧儿统治。到18世纪初期的时候，莫卧儿帝国就包含了整个印度次大陆，从喀布尔到加尔各答。

Indiawasn't a unified country. On the contrary, many of the kingdoms were ruled bysome of the most violent and oppressive people imaginable. Indeed, many Indiansactively encourage the British to take over. That's not to say atrocitiesweren't committed. But let's also put in a historical context - it happened arather long time ago now.

印度当时并非一个统一的国家。相反，由很多王国构成，被最残暴的人统治着。确实，很多印度人积极鼓励英国接管印度，那并不意味着英国当时就犯下了暴行。但是我们也应该把这个事情放在历史的背景下查看——那已经是很久以前的事情了。
