Indians were not corrupt to the extent British & Marxist Historians made the general public believe. In fact the moral and material standards of Indians, were much higher than that of Europeans. The
Quote “It is, I believe, generally admitted, that the invasions and
conquests which the Europeans, prompted by avarice and an
unextinguishable thirst of dominion, have not ceased to make in the old
and new world during the last three or four centuries, have, in most
cases, proved rather a curse than a blessing, and have, on the whole,
produced more evil than good. Not to speak of the flood of blood through
which those conquests were made, and the European dominions
established, the invaders, among many other evils, have supplied the
savages with fermented poisonous liquors, with the use of which they
were formerly unacquainted, arid which have increased their natural
ferocity to a considerable extent.
They are become the general carriers, and almost the exclusive monopolists of that poisonous drug called opium, whose effects are to produce complete madness ; and from an insatiable thirst for gain, they have shamelessly smuggled that poison all over Asia; in open violation of the wise prohibitions of the rulers of several countries to prevent so pernicious an article from being introduced into the states under their sway. They have had the horrid distinction of teaching the half, civilized people their infernal system of warfare, and supplied them with the most destructive kind of weapons, the more effectually to destroy each other. They have, in general, by their bad examples, polluted their minds, and vitiated the simplicity of their manners. They have poisoned their bodies by loathsome and incurable diseases, till then unknown to them; but, perhaps, with, a few exceptions, they have to this day operated no material improvement in their morals or religion; on which points, the conquered are found to be, at present, rather in a worse condition than they were when their fierce invaders, stepping .over the immense barriers by which nature seemed to have separated them for ever, and violating their territories and their natural rights, made their first appearance among them.”
