India missed a phase bcz of britisher.... read the body it is quite interesting

I think India missed a phase because of British rule.

​

If we look at Europe a few hundred years ago, we see a lot of superstition, religion having too much control, the Church basically controlling society and politics. At some point it reached a saturation level, people got fed up, started questioning things, and eventually revolutions happened. That's how a more rational and intellectual Europe emerged.

​

I think something similar would've happened in India too. The same kind of social and religious structures would've eventually been challenged from within. But because of British rule, that natural process got interrupted.

​

In a way, I feel the revolution in thinking that is happening in India now would've happened much earlier if colonial rule hadn't existed.

​

Not saying it would've been exactly the same as Europe, but it feels like history got delayed.
