Did Indians deserved to be colonised? In this video, Pandit Satish K Sharma ji delivers a comprehensive historical and theological rebuttal to British clergyman Calvin Robinson’s controversial claims regarding the recolonisation and imperial subjugation of India.
Deconstructing the long-standing "civilising mission" narrative, Pandit Satish K Sharma ji exposes the fundamental flaws in Robinson’s arguments. He examines how theological ideals are frequently weaponised to excuse systemic colonial extraction, racial subjugation, and historical atrocities ranging from the brutal reprisals of 1857 and chattel slavery to the devastating 1943 Bengal Famine and the tragedy of Partition.
Pandit Satish K Sharma ji also sheds light on the deliberate misrepresentation of indigenous traditions like Sati, illustrating how colonial records often magnified isolated instances to fabricate moral justification for imperial domination. Highlighting the genuine contributions of indigenous Hindu civilization including mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and Sanskrit scholarship he honors native reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy who drove authentic social progress from within, completely independent of imperial intervention.
This presentation serves as an essential exploration of the intersection between theology, empire, and decolonial discourse, offering audiences a factual, uncompromising perspective on civilisational sovereignty.
