@D - I'm reading Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera, a British journalist. It's a good, accessible read - he pulls from a lot of sources so once I'm done I'll be having a look at some of those as well. I find it fairly balanced re: the good and bad discussions re: empire, though of course him being a descendant of people who suffered at the hands of the British, there's bound to be some bias. But I'm 'enjoying' it so far - if that's the right word - I've never really read too deeply on the subject before. They don't teach us about colonialism or the British Empire at school here...barely gets a mention and then when it does it's in glorious, triumphant terms. And then of course B-wood movies are all very biased in a different way. So I hear you on trying to find sources that are relatively even-keeled in discussing that history.
But of course the effects of the empire were felt not only in India/Pakistan, but around the world in so many countries. So many conflicts and geopolitical tensions we see now in the world have some root cause in imperialism, and the British have traditionally had a big part to play in that. When we look at what's going on in the Middle East, and Hong Kong/China, and huge swathes of Africa...so much of that has its roots in British imperialism. The thing that struck me most is that empire lasted for much, more longer than we typically think it did. Conversations about colonialism tend to be about - IME - its latter days and the obvious and famous examples of India and the Partition, but there were centuries of successful colonisations before that, and they weren't under one neat, collective organisation either. It was all just a mish-mash of conflicting ideologies under a broad banner of imperialism. A fascinating subject to me, as you can tell from the essay 😆
Good luck re: the exam - I used to love maths, but that said, exams are the absolute worst. You said it's at the end of the month, right? Not long to go now!
@Nikki - yeah, I get you. Personally speaking, I always knew there'd be a time when the content would dry up re: those two, but like you, if ever there's any news of them I'll be the first to feel that craze come rushing back. (On that note, would it kill them to give us one interaction - just one, measly, tiny like on a post? ) Also my love for the DI instrumental (show version) has been renewed since I've been listening to it a lot recently. It is a BANGER.
Re: AB Junior...I think it was around the time of Guru that I realised what a nuanced actor he is. The tragedy with him is that he was always compared, from movie one, to his father at the height of his career, and that was never going to help him stand out. In the beginning I feel like he did lots of movies just to live up to being his father's son...but now I feel like he's much more comfortable in his own skin and chooses projects based on his own interest and not to bust some box office target. Plus he's always remained so humble and self-aware, despite the constant trolling from people accusing him of being inferior to his father/wife.
Yes, I too want to know what is "namkeen ishq" 🤔 is it a spin-off? Please tell me it's a spin-off 🤣
I get you!!.. I've read about the colonialism in africa. And the things were brutal there and the effects I'd reckon more far reaching than anyone could've imagined. In some scenarios worse than what the situation was in India. Afterall, slavery of blacks and segregation continued far too long after the british left the colonies in Africa.
Tbh, when i read about colonialism my interest is not just on british and what they did...portugese, dutch and spanish were also heavily involved in this. I also prefer the victim pov more than the accused. Though I'll give the book you mentioned a try...later..very later😂
@bold- this 💯. He sometimes replies back to the trolls but never even in a rude way.
Also, how can you love maths?? 😂 It's a oxymoron of a subject. Numbers and alphabets together.🤪 How utterly infuriating!!

😆In maths there's always a solve...you just have to find it. I'm a process-oriented person, so it suits me 😛😆
Hopefully Nikki, Arshu and Huma you all are doing fine.
Weather is getting hot so take care of your self. Keep hydrated. Kaam ky saath araam bhi kar lein.
Doing well, Nina, thanks! Hope you are too.
The weather has turned cold here again...rains and storms. Though last night I dreamt it was snowing, in the middle of June, so I suppose it could be worse 😲🤔
