Perfection of Indian Agriculture : British Accounts

Augustus Voelcker was a Royal Agricultural Society of England chemist. Voelcker was known for his methodical and precise analytical practices as applied to agricultural chemistry. He was consultant chemist appointed to study Indian Agriculture and suggest improvements.

In introduction passage, he said that British Farmers must not feel bad if I praise Indian farmers. We must realize that they are eternally groomed farmers and they started farming much before we did. Their methods are just perfect.

Show this to all who are living under inferiority complex that Indians are always primitive and barbaric and it is exposure to British that made us more productive. This is utterly nonsensical. Shows slavery imprints on our mind. Sometimes I feel that Independent India’s govt did more brainwashing then the British. I think, it is true.

It seems, in name of ‘Improvement’, British planned destruction of Indian Agriculture 🙁.
