Officers Lancer
How should we protray the the British Empire in our education today and in the future?
I was reading book about the British Empire I while back I came upon page where it showed a page with some British cavalrymen fight with some Sudanese tribesmen. {A 400 strong regiment attacked what they thought to be a few hundred dervishes, but in fact were 2,500 infantry hidden behind these dervishes in a depression. After a fierce clash, the Lancers drove them back at some cost (three Victoria Crosses were awarded, for the loss of five officers, 65 men, and 120 horses), roughly one-fourth of their total manpower.} (I cut that from wikipedia) the author of the book I was reading called it "a perfect display of the idiotic bravery of the time" and continued on to rather subtlety suggest the overall stupidity of the empire in general. While not a imperialist, I felt a little hurt that the author sort of mocked the sacrifices of all our past soldiers and wondered, is this how the empire will be portrayed in the future and should it be?
I think we should be amazed by the logistics and efficiency of running such a vast empire in the days before telecommunication. If only we could recover that sort of efficiency and drive we'd be a force to be reckoned with today. Also, if you compare the British empire with a lot of other empires (eg french, spanish) we were very fair. Obviously there were downsides, but name me a civilisation that doesn't have bad points. The empire was something to be proud of - not from the point of view of subjugating weaker nations, but from the point of view of being strong, fair, diplomatic (with a few exceptions) and because of the motivation, drive, efficiency, talent and determination that created it.
Nelson Mandela said:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?"
and I think that's so true of Britain today - we are scared of being great, and that's why we disparage all of our successes and dwell only on our failures.
