British Empire entered and robbed the richest country/empire in the world, what is now called India. The British and their colonial rule extracted resources on a mass scale, impoverishing the richest country the world had ever know, enriching themselves and promoting racist white elitism and European commerce. The East India Company is much to blame, but the Crown took it over and bears the responsibility for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and theft beyond human comprehension. It did not only steal tangible resources, it stole mathematical ideas, first giving due credit to the original inventors of things like the concept of zero then misappropriating, taking credit, enlarging the reputations of white scholars, denigrating and finally erasing others. Many of the great Islamic/Muslim discoveries in math and architecture were also marginalized, erased, and absorbed into British and white European lore. Whites did it all. India, Africa, and the New World contributed nothing.
