March 6th, 1919 India has suffered more that it should have because of the Great War, but its contribution in the conflict is currently being overlooked. Bob Brown, 24, said that "although we call it a world war, it was actually an exclusively European conflict." 1914, when war broke out, Britain believed that India would take this opportunity to create a rebellion because Germany had spent a large amount of money and time to encourage anti-British movements. William Archer, a British author, even wrote that "the moment Britain gets into trouble elsewhere, India, in her present temper, would burst into a blaze of rebellion." India, however, assisted Britain with everything that could be offered, and perhaps too much had been given to the war effort. This is the reason India is experiencing a state of near bankrupcy today. The British, however, does not properly answer India's calls for reward. This year, Britain announced the fifth Government of India Act, which gave voting rights to about 5 million of the wealthiest Indians. Aditya Lalitaditya, 32, expresses his complaints about this new act: "I can't believe how selfish and avaricious these British can be. They give Indian voting rights to us, which were supposed to have been ours from the beginning, and think that they have done a great good." Unfortunately, Britain has refused all demands for better treatment, and the current economic state of India has little hope of improving.

I can't believe these Indians! We gave them so much for the little amount of contribution they had during the war, and they want more! India is a British colony, and it should be thankful that the British government has allowed it to have a government of its own. Besides, when did the Indians fight in the World War? This was an all-European war, and no Indian has ever participated in any of the major battles. Don't they understand how horrible the European experience in the war was? With the trenches and the new war technologies, and all? Pft, I say we need to stop being so nice to these Indians and start being more strict on them to show who's the boss.
