And here children, is a prime example of learning history from social media. The answer to this lies in the very definition of "colonialism", quite a contrary to the mughal rule in India.

Not another post whining about why “mUgHaLs WeRe nOt cOlOnizErs” like girl, they were literally foreign invaders who forced you to speak their language, broke your temples, tried eradicating your culture and collected zizya taxes motivated by religious bigotry in hopes of forcing your people to convert! At least have some shame and consideration for your ancestors.

once i get rid of the inherent shame and aloofness in me that prevents me from truly opening up and living life itself, it's over for you bitches.
