Thugs of India is set in the 18th century, during the colonial rule of India by the East India Company.
Until 1947, Britain withdrew from India, ending its more than 200-year rule over India, but the Indian people did not hate Britain and maintained good relations with Britain.
Why don't Indian people hate British colonial rule?
1. Complete the unification
Ancient India is a geographical concept, not a national concept. Even the Mughal Dynasty did not truly unify the entire South Asian continent.
At that time, India was divided into large and small tribes, and each tribe was a small country. After the British came, it ended this situation, not only conquered the Mughal dynasty, but also conquered the large and small tribes in India.
So the unfulfilled dream in the hearts of Indians, the British helped make it come true.
2. Gratitude
The Greeks ruled India, the Persians ruled India, and the Mongols ruled India. They were extremely destructive to India. Except for killing, they enslaved the Indians.
After the British entered India, although it was a colonial rule, there was no mass killing. They carried out humane management and used Indians to manage India.
3. Promote development
When the British colonized India, they brought the achievements of the Industrial Revolution to India, opened factories and enterprises, and hired local Indians. So India's infrastructure was very developed at that time, and basically it was British goods.
India's development is largely based on the foundation left by the British colonization, so how can India hate the British?
4. Improve the grade
Ancient Indians had a very strict hierarchy, and different races had different rights.
After the British came, not only did they not get rid of this system, but they also kept it. The British also loved the low-level people very much and recruited them to work in factories.
