they're

8:34

very much acceptance of British people

8:35

it's maybe the other way around

8:37

yeah that's a good point yeah they're

8:40

very very Hospital Indian people are if

8:42

you go into their homes they'll they'll

8:44

very easily volunteer food for you drink

8:46

for you tea for you whatever you want

8:48

yeah incredible yeah I kind of

8:52

stumped when it comes to empirical

8:54

history in terms of like I could say

8:56

about a Roman imperial history but I'm

8:59

I'm not I honestly have no idea I would

9:00

never learned it and why do you think

9:02

that is why do things it was a bit

9:05

embarrassing for the British for a long

9:07

time uh you know white British people

9:10

um said the East India Company went in

9:12

there about 1750 British Empire took

9:14

over 1850 and by 1950 Britain had taken

9:18

13 billion pounds and that's a

9:20

conservative estimate sorry trillion

9:22

pounds out of India so really they kind

9:26

of plundered it uh took a lot of money

9:28

out of it and so it's probably been a

9:31

bit embarrassing for Britain to come to

9:33

terms with its its history its Colonial

9:35

relationship with India and there's a

9:37

bit of a guilt in teaching oh yeah

9:39

massively there's anything you know

9:41

about the Empire especially in this like

9:42

when it comes to India yeah I mean not

9:46

not really I mean I know a bit about

9:48

Anglo-Saxons
