[little jeremiah]

India had a long history as a great culture and power for many long years before the Muslims started their invasion and rapine around 700-800AD, what to speak of the British. India was an empire, with great influence, trade, literature, astronomical and mathematical knowledge, social structure and so on. India and Africa cannot be compared.

[JSteff]

I don't know about that but I have heard some say Africa had some great empires, "with great influence, trade, literature, astronomical and mathematical knowledge, social structure"

They have ruined every empire or socal structure that they or others created on that continent. All of them.
