<What was great about VVV was the vast paradigm shift away from tribal cannibalism to the amazing life enjoyed by billions.> Thats a very eurocentric view. There were other great empires before who served millions, or at least a significant percentage of human population at that time. The British empire had its pluses but the British propagandized their opponents very similar to what USA is doing to Putin - make a villain to achieve geopolitical goals. See the example of Tipu Sultan who some historians say was a victim of East India Company propaganda. thewire.in It is a provocative, surprising story, still told by historians who marvel that a South Asian ruler could have thus styled himself as an agent of global revolution. In fact, the most surprising thing about the Mysorean Jacobin club is that it never existed. It was an invention of the East India Company’s propaganda, patched together from misunderstandings and outright lies about the 1797 ‘Jacobin’ meeting in order to justify a final invasion of Mysore in 1799. Like his father Haider Ali, who ruled Mysore from 1761 to 1782, Tipu was a dangerous foe to the British and a vital partner to the French in a region where the two European empires competed for influence. Tipu and his father thwarted Britain in the first and second Anglo-Mysore wars (1767-9, 1780-4), taking thousands of prisoners. In the following years, crushing Mysore became a British obsession. Tipu was vilified in plays, cartoons and other popular media, represented to the British public as a fanatical Muslim tyrant bent on persecuting Christians and driving Europeans out of the Indian subcontinent.
