Lecture by William Dalrymple on India's 'First War of Independence' at the Gresham College. The people of India, Hindus and Muslims united spontaneously in an uprising against the increasing racist and arrogant British East India Co, a front Company for the British Empire in India. The population rallied round the Mughal Emperor, seen as the legitimate leader of the Indian people. The British (with Sikh and Afghan mercenaries) defeated the Mughal supporters and went on the loot and massacre the population of Delhi -- 100,000 people are estimated to have been killed in Delhi. This lecture is based on Dalrymple's book 'The Last Mughal', which I recommend, he also wrote 'White Mughals' another good read. I also recommend 'The Magnificent Mughals' by Zeenat Ziad, published by OUP Pakistan -- A must read for anybody interested in the Mughals. Please rate and subscribe to my channel.

May 22, 2011 - 04:05 The word he was searching for is FASCIST. Or as they like to call it on American TV "Hitlerism"; the Royal Masons prefer the American unwashed masses NOT lookup the word fascist.

UnoRaza Says:

May 22, 2011 - ". britain has a shameful history of invading and destroying other countries... and they are doing same by joining USA in iraq and afgh"The Royal Odor of the Garter controls America and Israel's EVERY MOVE; they're BRITISH "royals".They are the SOURCE of every "villan" of the twentieth century; COMMUNISM was a Royal Jewish Masonic Invention, along with HITLER.Rothschild et. al. got them going to prime the FASCIST'S Masonic Golden Goose: Polarization & WAR.

Jan 2, 2012 - If that is true, how come there are so many Hindus in India today. Look at the countries Westerners took over, the natives were wiped out - Americas, Australia or South Africa. During Mughal rule, India was at it's highest with 25% of world economy. Aurangzeb's treasury was twice of Europe. India was super rich. After British took control, GDP input was 3.8%. British fabricated lies to make Muslims/Hindus always fight - divide and rule.

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Jan 2, 2012 - Read your history, where ever the union flag flew, there were horrible civil wars. Promoting one monitory over another majority was their trick to divide and rule. How many atrocities were committed by British in 1857 rebellion, children was burnt. Did you forget Jaliawala Bagh? India only gained enormous wealth during Mughal rule due to peace and prosperity. Hindus occupied special high ranks in Mughal courts.Funny even Akbar's wife was a rajput princess.

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Jan 2, 2012 - Surprisingly there are books/research by ASI (Archaeological survey of India) that says Mughals paid good amounts to restore old temples. New temples were not built but no temples were destroyed. After British control, countless "historians" were thrown in to write fabricated stories of temple destruction under Muslims so there is always a continued resentment amount people.

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Jan 2, 2012 - "I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have notseen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore,

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Jan 2, 2012 - Those were McCauley's words

gunner23 Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - So the British freed us from Islamic idiocy thank you britain

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - Anyway Hindus were never meant to be a power people, throughout history they were ruled by one or another. It was just that Islam was a huge competitor to western imperialism that after fall of Mughal empire, British first stole all possible wealth and made elite Hindus take control so the country remains a third rate power no matter what. Hindus are smart or Indians are smart but now strong power people. They need someone to rule them otherwise they will live in dirt like India is now.

MrChutzpah2002 Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - And made sure to reduce the richest country on earth to one of the poorest ones. Idiot you must be a dumb stupid Hindu, too bad Mughals didn't eradicate you all but they were too kind unlike the British.
