The East India Company. Britain didn't even have direct rule over the Indian Subcontinent until the end of the Sepoy Rebellion and the passing of the Government of India Act of 1958, which dissolved the EIC and placed its territory under direct British rule.

Read what I wrote first. They didn't have enough money for the conquest. They were financed by an Indian banking dynasty because of their reliability.

>>224682794
Nah, Indians aren’t seething low IQ cumskins who get salty over successful, well educated groups.
Most of us admire Banias, Parsis, Marwaris and Jains.
Same reason we admire American Jews.
>>
>>224682019
so basically feudalism got completely BTFO by globalism and capitalism? this is why you pay your denbts
>>
>>224682895
you're an underage retard, not only that but the seeds of being a slave are already embedded in your pea brain. Some Jains absolutely do have a massive in group bias. you and your retarded ilk bootlick anyone with power. It's not admiration if you want to snake your way into a job. kys
>>
>>224682925
Yes, that’s a nice way to summarize this.
And the funny thing is, that retard Mir Qasim completely quashed any hope of India gaining independence for the next century by having Jagat Seth Mehtab Chand executed.
He could’ve eventually turned the Jagat Seths around by proving that Indian rulers were more reliable than the EIC and the British Empire when it came to repaying debts, but instead he just convinced the Jagat Seths that they’d been right all along and handed the EIC complete control over Bengal’s revenue.

4chan is a knock off of a Japanese site 2ch, and was founded by a white guy, and later owned by a Japanese guy who's too busy jerking off to loli hentai to do his job.

>>224682019
cool

>>224682019
I hate Jains, they are rich pedos like Epstein. There are so many cases of prominent rich Jain pedos and mafias, but the news dies down so fucking fast. They are nude around children under the guise of religion. And they are in so many gov positions without merit, it's insane.

I knew it started in Bengal, I didn't know Jains were behind them. My hate is affirmed and justified.

another reason to genocide jain fags alongside gujjews

Stop bitching and whining like timmies, lmao.
They're clearly doing something right. Learn from them and git gud instead of throwing bitchfits about "muh nepotism".

Hahaha it's all in good fun doebeit. Jeet means victory or something to that effect.
>>
>>224682019
Wild that the British and English never did anything ever and it was always other people
>>
>>224695484
Yeah, India’s upper castes basically facilitated India’s conquest. Around 95% of the EIC’s mercenary army consisted of Brahmins and Kshatriyas from UP and Bihar. At roughly 200,000 men, it was twice the size of the British Army at the time.
And the Vaishya Jagat Seths bankrolled that army and equipped it with state-of-the-art weaponry.
>>
>>224682019
Pajeets are so useless, that Britain not really wanted Indiastan at all... Just some scotish-americans that started a plantation of tea in Bengladesh, that grow to a company of clothes that turned in such a big monopoly, that King George III statized and turned India a colony to protect local works and the other half, was the portuguese India, that English crown get, marrying a lusitan princess
>>
>>224696362
Yeah mad that isnt it. Britain never did anything ever
>>
>>224695484
Took about 500 English soldiers to conquer the entirety of Northern India, dozens of states consisting of over 150 million people.

There is no logic or sophistry that can undercut the ridiculousness of that, it simple just doesn't happen. Why none of these native armies allied or not, in their own land, some hundreds of thousands strong didn't make a scratch in this force - because they simply couldn't even if they wanted to.

There's a level of cultural and technological superiority that is the only possible explanation for this - can you imagine India in the 12th Century invading North Africa or Greece, or Tang China colonising Egypt. Just insane

>>224696870
No mate dont you realise it was all just highcaste indians using the british. God indians are so smart and cool. But also everything bad is the Britishers fault. The 100trillion never forget

Those same merchant castes still have a chokehold on Britain, by the way.
Also, the British and French Empires went to war with China in the Opium Wars on behalf of the Parsi merchants involved in the opium trade.
