India was BIGGEST economy, contributing 25%-30% of Global GDP from Maurya to Mughal! Then what happened? 1. Decline of Mughal led to weak leadership, fragmented politics & regional powers 2. East India Company saw market in India. They also had organized army, advanced weaponry & tech 3. Exploited local politic rivalry. Formed alliances, took large territories, trade monopoly, high tax, extracted resources 4. Divide & rule created regional, religious & ethnic divisions. Supported and pitying local rulers against each other. Lack of Unity made manipulation easy 5. Policies designed to benefit British at expense of India Been years, yet to this day we divide amongst ourself Our parents, family, local community, state, politicians told us how we are better than other communities in India, shaping our perception, sowing roots of discrimination in us from childhood Given significantly lower discrimination in developed nations, Can India be ONE to become World's wealthiest economy?

Who told you that the inclined of Mughal empire lead to weak leadership
I think , The problem of religious or communal discrimination stems largely from the scarcity of resources (caused by a series of invasions) and the unequal distribution of power among certain elite groups (Brahmin and Kshatriya superiority - not a significant problem now but it was for many centuries) and, lastly, the unquestioning mindset of not questioning conventional beliefs. Buddha questioned every aspect of the wrongly prevailing beliefs in society, but what he and his followers received in return was violence from some orthodox Hindu elements in India (though point about violence or "genocide" from Hindus against Buddhists may not be entirely accurate - some degree of violence also came from Buddhist groups at times, contradicting the religion's teachings). It is not the result of just politics; it is rooted in ourselves.
A tribal feeling or behaviour is always induced into extreme ideologies which has led to this sectarian mindset for the mass. We should start being more empathetic and look at each problem individually rather than generalise it as a whole.
Indian politicians have been benefiting from this for ages now. And people have subconsciously accepted it due to the fact that they have no jobs (the uneducated masses) and being sheep behind an ideology is the easiest thing to do after doing nothing. So yeah, now it’s normalised and to say anything against it is triggering for most. Hence made a part of the “culture”
