Musings on our colonial history, foreign laws & capitalist geopolitics

Internet was originally developed by a particular country's military and it still controls it. Microsoft, FB, Twitter, Google, Yahoo etc are not independent of their own political bosses there. Their servers are there, they share every info there with their bosses, everything is processed to have a profile of everything in their spectrum of surveillance. They've a database of multiple of millions of people. They're not innocent.

No one who invents an epoch changing tool like the internet is so gullible and naive to let it slip away from own control/ownership and hand it over to so called free(market) and (laissez)fair (e) corporates which in turn actually grew globally only due to protectionist policies of their mother board.

China is in a rush to become the second world power, it couldn't hide it's zeal. AS are wily craftsmen for centuries, only their HQ shifted from the tiny island to the new world big continent post WW2. They're not ruling the world just like that till date without much challenge since they defeated the last emperor of France in 19th century and broke the iron curtain in 1990.

The AngloSaxon system is actually legalised banditry, they're global superpowers for 2 centuries+ is only because of that. 
There's a French saying: the AS are very legal people, when they've to commit a crime they make a law to enable it.

The purported intent was to regulate the East India company Regulating Act of 1773
(formally, the East India Company Act 1772) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain intended to overhaul the management of the East India Company's rule in India. 
But the main clauses dealt with how to takeover India legally. 
The Act elevated Governor of Bengal, Warren Hastings to Governor-General of Bengal and subsumed the presidencies of Madras and Bombay under Bengal's control. It laid the foundations for a centralized administration in India. Governor of Bengal became the Governor General of Bengal with an executive council of four to assist him. Decisions would be taken by majority and Governor General could only vote in case of tie.
The Act named four additional men to serve with the Governor-General on the Supreme Council of Bengal: Lt-Gen John Clavering, George Monson, Richard Barwell, and Philip Francis. 
A supreme court was established at Fort William at Calcutta. British judges were to be sent to India to administer the British legal system that was used there. 

Governor General of Bengal became Gov Gen of India with the subsequent 1833 Charter Act or Govt of India Act passed on the building upon Thames. So a foreign parliament thousands of KMs away was making laws to takeover India in the name of India even when they hadn't taken over India completely yet. Very legally. 

English Education Act, vide MacAulay here
When the Anglo Saxon do something they do it legally. Most of the Indians though would know about the Doctrine of Lapse by Dalhousie, the foreign law which enabled them to take over India. 
Interestingly they showed this as the insurmountable and inviolable law which was made only in 1848 and by the East India Company, not even by their parliament. 
But law is law, very legal. 
This law consumed many Indian principalities and the flashpoint was raised at Jhansi in 1857.
Everywhere they had a lot of kingdoms. The westphalian nation states came into existence in Europe which made these warring kingdoms de jure in existence after they were exhausted of infighting and decided to be contend with what they had. This led to the rise of linguistic basis of nation states in Europe which resulted in ethnic cleansing or forced cultural assimilation of the linguistic/religious minorities all over Europe. That's why today every European country is nearly monochromatic in itself yet in absolute contrast to the neighbour. Except Switzerland which officially became a separate entity after Westphalia. Europeans were always fighting within themselves, amongst each other. This led them to quest for colonies which led to institutionalised slavery and mass extinctions of humans and their respective civilisations. 
The "fault" of Indians was that they themselves were beset with and shackled in centuries old strife with central Asian invading hordes many of whom were now ruling vast tracts of our subcontinent.

The infighting of the European kingdoms led to WW1 and WW2 where officially at least 12.5 crore people died. Not speaking of other things negative. Still today there remain, as of 2020, twelve sovereign monarchies in Europe. Seven are kingdoms: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium. Andorra, Liechtenstein, and Monaco are principalities, while Luxembourg is a Grand Duchy. The Vatican City is a theocratic state ruled by the Pope.

Churchill genocided millions in Bengal with artificial famine, he never wanted to give India independence, he was a decorated military officer in South Africa circa 1890s where he gained fame,or notoriety (?), butchering Boer women & kids. Churchill did many pacts with Hitler and let his stature grow even for the sole purpose of keeping the Soviets and French "in check". Churchill abetted the holocaust by keeping mum over it for years as PM. Even when not PM he being from a top aristocratic family with generations in Govt could've helped checkmate the Nazis. Just a few snippets into the life of the evil tyrant. 
Roosevelt was simply the one who ran the Project Manhattan and warmongering policies which led to the mass extinction of Hiroshima Nagasaki even though he died just a few months before the first atomic bombings were ordered by his successor. Entire Manhattan project was run on espionage and human trafficking from Germany on the pretext of them supposedly making nukes. Global nuclear race is his legacy. Many other crimes in his legacy. 
BTW the aforesaid corollary is suited to Western milieu and is irrelevant to us. कलियुग anyways, Asuric tendencies on upsurge whether Nazis or fascists or communists or capitalists or their puppet theocracies all exploiting mother nature & humanity for their own selfish petty interests harming the planet Earth and shifting the blame on each other or all and sundry.
