British Rule the Knife of Sugar

Please answer ONE of the following questions: 1. Naoroji says the natives call British rule the “knife of sugar.” Using his list of debits and credits of British rule as well as information from the textbook chapter, explain the metaphor that he is using. From your reading, do you believe Britain his metaphor was an accurate representation of colonialism? 2. Naoroji mentions “famines” in his speech. Please read this article (Links to an external site.) about one such famine that occurred in 1866 [Warning: graphic images of starvation]. Do you think the credits that Naoroji mentions in his speech outweighed the debits of famines such as this? Why or why not? As always, you can include any follow up questions or research you find that helps explain the documents or history better.
