Colonization

Colonization started and ended with India. Indian freedom movement was not anything less than a revolution because it was among the few times in those days that common man took matters in to his own hands. Over time with spread of democracy it is supposed to have become the norm but even today a regular person rarely protests unless pushed against a wall. Mass protests that comes from all corners are usually a result of many years of exploitation.

India was the first among colonies to protest British rule and the world followed. Of course America did too but it was a different scenario. America became independent because they did not want to pay tax and that is funny because they still pay quite a bit of tax. Indians never seem to have the time to appreciate the fine things they accomplish and so the Indian revolution never became something as big as the French revolution in terms of paper space.
