India is a former colony of which country?

IREAD THAT DURING THE TIME OF THE BRITISH RAJ, A LOT OF INDIAN RULERS GAVE UP THEIR AUTHORITY IF NOT THEIR PROPERTY. THEY GOT TO KEEP THEIR JEWELS AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS.

The Portuguese colonised Goa in other South of India.

I read that a private house in Wales UK has more relics from the Mughal Empire (1526-1857) than all museums of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan put together… India’s largest diamond (stolen) and now in the hands of the royal family (search Koh-I-Noor) Shameful looting of sacred temples, cutting off weavers thumbs so ancient practices were lost forever, murder, rape, torture, hangings and exacerbating famine. More people died in India under the greed of the British than at the hands on the nazis in WW11 where my grandad served. Search Jallianwala Bagh massacre. They don’t teach you that in our privately funded grammar school. I’m so ashamed of this British past I’d rather lie than admit where I came from! From my family and I we are so sorry for our shameful history - may we all be forgiven! Ps I now live in France :)

The Brits colonized many countries. Easy guess.

Easy because I am from India
