No, as much as I love traveling to Europe they are the ones who ruined countires like China, India and all the countries in Africa. They were the richest countries but then Europe stole everything they had and then there were the slaves.


China basically avoided being colonised and India stands as one of the few examples of a country to come out of being colonized with a population largely of native people and do alright. In most of the other previous colonies that are now doing well the native people were made a minority through war or disease.

India has native people? I am half sikh and half christian I don't know much about India, never went there either but I don't think it has native people. We in Canada call them first nations or aboriginals and they are not really Indians. Columbus mistaked the native people for Indians that's all I know.

That may be the most confusing post I've ever read.

Native people are the people who lived in the country before colonisation. In India this would be the Indian people. Nearly all of the Indian population are from one of the Indian ethnic groups.
