I'm just thinking about how it would feel from an Indian perspective to have your entire life uprooted because a great white wave of humanity was decending onto your world and you have no way to stop it...bows and arrows against guns.
Fair enough anon. I'm guessing it would feel like being up against a superior challenger with superior firepower and superior motivation to win. An enemy who was absolutely not going to slink back across the pond to kiss the ring of King George or get executed, just because when they hit the shores here, the land was inhabited by warring primitive tribes stuck in prehistoric times, wielding a spear, arrows, or a triangular rock tied to a stick.
It's the way of the world. God himself must have designed it this way. Humans are an intensely combattive, tribal, and fiercely territorial species, exactly like most other primates. As a species we love to fight—if we don't do it physically, we do it verbally or online, even paying millions to others to battle in front of us in a ring. To the victor go the spoils.
