If you are aware of the historical context of this, then you know that karma is a b#$%h and this is one way that nature runs it's own course, even if it is a matter of over a few hundred years. The East India company was responsible for looting artifacts, trading slaves and was the trojan horse that let the British enter India in the first place which they ended up ruling.

In a very weird twist of fate, this British East India Company is now owned by an Indian named Sanjiv Mehta! This company had owned most of the Indian subcontinent including countries which are now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and parts of Afghanistan!

If you think the modern day Facebook, Apple, Google or Amazon are powerful then think about this. The East India Company owned these countries almost completely and ran all it's operations! The EIC was responsible for almost 50% of the world trade and had a global monopoly in the tea business of the world!

The British East India Company was the most powerful company the world had ever seen. It controlled everything from the opium trade to the slave trade.

Mehta opened the first EIC tea store back in the year 2010.

I wonder if "The British East India Company" was the most powerful why the British aren't blamed for all misery they brought and everyone has only eyes for the Dutchmen. More interesting question: What exactly did India achieve herself to be proud of?

Check the longish thread here at the end of the comments section https://read.cash/@rand0m/should-britain-really-be-credited-for-bringing-trains-to-india-67ffb590

Even though Britain looted and took away almost 45 trillion USD from India to London during their rule, India is still a very self sufficient country in many ways. They have the largest functioning democracy which magically works and have a lot of things going right for them which surely is not covered by Western Media who only want to portray India as a 3rd world country and only show it's bad parts.

Thank you for partly answering the question. I assume you do not have the answer on the first part why England isn't blamed?

@wakeupkitty am I blind or did the bot just upvote a less than 2 minute, four-views and zero comments article with 0.28 dollars in BCH?

You have the same blindness as I. There are even shorter posts been rewarded with 0.48 and more. I noticed it about 2 days ago and some mentioned it.

Didn't the rewarded say it is still learning and we should downvote?

What I know after 5 days is longer posts are not rewarded at all neither is quality or good grammar only. I saw so many good posts, long posts, not one of them was rewarded. 🤔

Also please don't go about downvoting posts just because you didn't get an expected payout. That is just fraud in play and i'm amazed that you guys have the audacity to even discuss about it on other people's posts. You should really learn to write quality content than down voting other's content.

And this is quality content how?

Sometimes, quality is determined by quantity, you know.

I beg your pardon? What makes you think be do not write quality content?

The comment left is not about what is written but about the size of the text. Since read.cash/therandomrewarder is the one who came with a very long list of rules users have to stick to you can not blame users for noticing the rewarder does not stick to it's rules. Besides I did read and left a comment like I do with each post I read! I am one of those few users investing in others.

I think you guys are giving too much importance to quantity over quality. The post might be short but if it has good content it would be rewarded.
