India In Details1:05

Transcription

I have been saying this in many ways: it is Indians who have civilized the West.

19th century Sweden: a criminal is executed in front of a crowd. As the blood starts dripping from the criminal's body, the bloodthirsty crowd of onlookers goes absolutely crazy. Police and guards find it difficult to control them—desperate men and women, the so-called civilized Europeans of the 19th century. They rush forward and collect the blood-soaked sand or soil and put it into their mouths. This was actually a Swedish treatment for epilepsy, cramp, and other diseases. Yes, this is an actual event that took place in Sweden. You can read that here: newspaper name, the Blackburn Standard, date July 11th, 1866.

I wonder if Greta Thunberg and PewDiePie were taught about this side of Sweden in their school or college.

Dear Indians, I request you please fix your history books, if you can. [Music]
