Queen is dead...payback time

 

 The death of Queen Elizabeth marks the end of the British Empire, the closure of the last chapter of the Empire. The significance of this day is the revival of the suppressed angst of the former colonies that were robbed and massacred by the Brits in the heydays of invasion and conquest by the European savages. It was more hurting to the conquered colonies to see the Brits still flaunting the precious stones stolen from them at a time when might was right and human rights and sovereignty were easily trampled with immunity.

India and South Africa are calling for the return of the stolen diamonds and treasures by the British crown. And this must include all the loots in the British Museums that they displayed with pride and arrogance, as their possession, British treasures they simply took from the colonies. And this is only the first step in the return of stolen goods from the colonies.

Poland has started a precedence in claiming war damages from Nazi Germany for their losses during the invasion in WW2. This is just a trickle considering the colonies around the world that the British invaded and looted and ruled for centuries. India has a long list of claims for the 400 years of British rule and the numerous massacres of Indians in the wars fought and suppressed by the Brits. Africa has a list not lesser than the Indians to claim against the Brits.

Though China was not fully colonised, the debt could be much bigger, considering the Opium Wars forced upon the Chinese, to sell harmful drugs to the Chinese and the subsequent war reparations forced upon China that bankrupted China. It would be settled in today's currency, inflation counted. And the 150 years of ruling Hong Kong would also have to be settled. It was an unequal treaty signed under duress and China would want to claim every cent from the Brits for the lost of their national territory. Payback time is here.

Once this process is started, it would snowball all over the world and every country that were invaded, looted and rules by the British, including South East Asia, the Middle East and Latin America would be queueing outside 10 Downing Street with their long list of debt owed by the British. Yes, it was great, convenient, not questionable, violent objection would be quashed, it was might was right then when the British had the upper hand in military hardware, to conquer, to massacre and loot and rule lands belonging to the natives of the land. 

When one is strong and mighty, like the Americans now, it was the law to do as one pleased without having to answer for them. When one is no longer the mighty Empire but a pale shadow of itself, the victims would rise to demand for justice, for the debt to be settled. The debt cannot be forgotten or written off. 

It is payback time. The compensation would include many things, including the intangibles. Victims of British Colonialism should set up a tribunal to work out a formula to claim against the Britain for all the crimes and sins committed against time. What stupid Commonwealth must be disbanded as it is an insult to he colonised people and nation state to honour this dishonourable organisation built to glorified British crimes against humanity for centuries.

The Queen is dead. There is no need for fake niceties. There is no need to pretend that the British were nice people, never kill, never rob, never commit crimes against the colonised countries. Anyone still have good feeling for the invaders of their countries and think it is right to be royal and loyal to the British Crown which in reality, in modern language, were robbers and murderers?

The fantasy should be left in the books of European fairy tales, that white men are blessed to conquer and rule over coloured people, that coloured people had no rights and ownership of their land, that the white men is blessed and authorised by their white God to own these land and civilise and rule over the coloured people.

A new awakening has started, and a new chapter is being written.

PS. Did Modi attend the funeral? Why would a big power like India, invaded, plundered, massacred and ruled by the Brits for 400 years want to visit the dead Queen? The Indians have pride and know their history and know that being colonised and ruled were a bad and shameful thing, nothing to be proud of.
