> sluggish Indian economy once they freed themselves of colonial rule
If you understand the affects of colonialism of 200 years - economic and other exploitation - sluggish is pretty much the best case you can expect after freedom. Comparing to other colonies India has done fairly well for having being nearly destroyed and rebuilt.
I understand colonialism perfectly. My country was under British rule for almost 900 years, longer than any other country on earth. I wasn't supporting him in his statement, actually I disagree with at least 80% of what he tweets, however if there is to be a backlash against the likes of Marc Andreessen then it should be for legitimate reasons and not that he endorsed colonialism which he didn't. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to be pissed with SV elites who say and act as they wish without making up fake reasons.
