Access to technology and learning gives no one divine right to
dispose of the rights of others. That is a misuse of power. In
any case, when most of the abuses occurred, the majority of
Indians were living in conditions similar to those of the Europeans
present, and any subsequent technological shortfall
was the result of disarmament, confiscation and confinement. Similar
deprivation and living conditions were endured by Jews in Europe a
century later under the Nazis. And if it wasn't for Hitler, we wouldn't
have Volkswagens, right? Wrong. Good ends which would have occurred
in any case impute no positive morality to bad means that are
irrelevant to them.
