Muslims brought poverty to India – Sir V. S. Naipaul

In an interview regarding his visit to India Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad “V. S.” Naipaul said that it were the Muslims who brought poverty and misery to India. Before the arrival of Muslims India was a thriving civilization with excellence in art, literature, music, medicine. After the end of Muslim “Tyranny” in India nothing was left of it.

Here is an excerpt of the interview :

V.S. Naipaul: I think I would like to go back just a little bit to the wretchedness of India, and to talk about what might have caused it, that people behave as though it was always there, it was an eternal. I don’t think it was an eternal.

India was destroyed by the Muslim invaders, they ruled it severely and ravaged it for five to six centuries and they left nothing behind. They didn’t build a school, no institutions, so that was the cause of the poverty, that utter wretchedness where people had no faith in institutions, had no-one to appeal to ever, produced this idea of holy poverty. I think we have to understand that.

Muslims never did anything good for India. They just looted, looted & looted and left nothing for the coming generations.

Looking at the condition of Islamic countries it becomes clear why so many of them are failed states – the same “mis-rule” – the so called “rule of Islam”  is still in place in those countries; and until it is there rest assured that those hellholes will remain in the same condition.
