Vijay Prashad shares read Why India is still trapped in British Colonialism

Colonialism never ended... It has transformed!!!

Vijay is a decent historian but dignity doesn't come out of thin air. Chinese peasantry saw itself as the agents of change. They actively shaped the society through their organization of communes with the support and guidance of the communist party. They had ownership over their means of production which made them the agents of change which brought them dignity. Dignity isn't an abstract phenomenon. It is material and as Fanon said, for the peasants it comes from the land.

Respected, I am 70 + from Pakistan. British Raj greatest success was 1) They made us Mental Slaves 2) The policy of Divide and Rule still (May be In more worse condition) exist in subcontinent. The Rulers are following the same pattern. If you Rationally think, after 75 years is still the way of Governance. I don't know how much Time is required to eliminate this mindset.

Mr. Vijay is one of the very few people who understand the Chinese people in depth. He is a true unbiased intellectual.

Vijay is an amazing educator, historian and journalist. Thank You for all your contributions to help us to understand the history and the truth on what is going on in this trouble world.

U SAID it, Mr Vijay. Someone had to say it. U SAID IT.

I scour the net for this man’s opinion, wisdom.

So true Prasad. When you fall in love with your master and the ones who enslaved you, it's very hard to shake off the slave mentality. The colonialist does more than enslaved you physically the do it mentally, and when the left the put in place the brown sahib to still owe feality to their white masters. When Mao said Liberation, he meant it in every way. If India wants to progress, it needs a Liberation in many ways

An important point is that Yugoslavia no longer exists because the US-led NATO bombed it off face the face of the earth. The leaders of the countries involved have never been held to account.

❤well said and well OBSERVED. You are absolutely CORRECT

at least Indians now are awakening; don't be again being colonial slavery mindset.

Very good✊🏽👊🏽👍🏽

He is only partly right and got a few things wrong. Most importantly, he hasn't covered the main point. It wasn't about dignity so much but more about being truly independent from the American-led five-eye imperialist system. That gives an independent nation and its people the opportunity to have dignity, not the other way around. Plus, being independent means you can create and develop policies and projects to grow and develop their nation rather than being sabotaged by the US-led imperialist western elements under its zero-sum-game imperialist system.

Well said of the truth of imperialism and British/US Colonialism

It's the lines "divide and rule" once drew, which linger on long after the empires have left. These "lines" are not only on the maps, but they also persist in the heads of following generations. You can see these effects of imperialism having long-term effects in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, or on the Indian subcontinent. The "divide" between Hindus and Muslims in India today, was once fostered and deepened by the British Empire, as a "divide and rule"-strategy of top-down power.

India's weird relationship with Israel confirms India's love for the Subservient Status...

I'm very impressed with his understanding of the significance of the Chinese revolution to the masses when he said it gave people dignity.

Rare voice of truth. Thank you for speaking out.

As usual, this sort of educational information from Mr Prashad, preeminent historian and journalist, should be on mainstream channels, discussed and viewed by millions. Then western imperial hegemony would end! Sadly, it is not. Thank you again for sharing your deep knowledge in history and current geopolitical realities!👋👋👋👋

TQ for being broadmindedness and farsightedness reports。
