Also, there was the death cult operating in India possibly from the 1300s.   I watched a movie based on true events about them.   They murdered many, many people all over India in order to rob them.   The British tried to subdue and convict them. @just_abc

Human sacrifices were a dark chapter in the history of many cultures, from India to Africa and the Americas. These rituals, often tied to religion or power, faded under the influence of Western Christian colonizers, leaving their mark in the past.
In India, sacrifices occurred before Europeans arrived. Devotees of Kali, including the Thuggee sect, killed thousands of travelers in her name. Ancient texts hint at prehistoric rituals, and the practice of sati—widows burning themselves—carried a religious tone. The British banned sati in 1829 and eradicated the Thugs by the 1860s, condemning these customs as barbaric.

In North America, the Aztecs sacrificed tens of thousands, cutting out hearts for gods like Huitzilopochtli. The Pawnee killed girls in the "Morning Star" ritual, while the Iroquois executed captives in "mourning wars." The Spanish ended Aztec sacrifices in the 16th century, and by the 19th century, British and American efforts stamped out Pawnee practices through laws and missions. In South America, the Incas offered children in "capacocha," and the Moche slew captives for weather rituals. The Spanish, led by Pizarro in the 1530s, halted these, imposing Catholicism.

In Africa, the Dahomey Kingdom executed hundreds yearly in "Annual Customs." The Ashanti sacrificed slaves at royal funerals, and the Zulu under Shaka killed thousands for power. Yoruba and Congolese tribes also held rituals. The British, French, and Belgians banned these in the 19th century, with missionaries branding them diabolical, nearly wiping them out by the early 20th century.
Christian colonizers—British, Spanish, French, Belgians—played a pivotal role in ending human sacrifices. Through laws, military force, and missionary work, they replaced these traditions with Christianity, relegating them to history.
 

P.S. There you have it, the true essence of Western colonial oppressors! How do they even sleep at night with such a shameful past? Outrageous, really!

Also, in Papua New Guinea they previously practiced head hunting.    I knew a missionary who worked in Papua New Guinea.

You caught me on my words. I admit it. I shouldn’t have written "no one died out there." It was a mistake, and I can explain why I wrote it. Sometimes my fingers can’t keep up with my thoughts. I was rushing while typing a lengthy text. What I meant to say was that the Indian people didn’t die out during British rule like the Native Americans did in North America. Thank you for pointing it out—I’m grateful and apologize if I misled anyone. 

 

You don't need to apologise about this.  It was my fault.  I actually did understand what you meant..  but not immediately though (but after I had re-read or thought on it )

However I still included the links to examples of killings and other atrocities.. because I was trying to explain that colonialism wasn't just.. the building of roads and schools and hospitals.. but that there were negative and harmful things which also happened during colonialism times..

You listed cases of people killing others and framed it as a reproach to the "West" for colonialism.

It was not meant as a slam on the West. (Or East)

Colonialism (in my opinion) was /is usually very very wrong.. regardless of whether it was carried out by countries in the West or by countries in the East....  ( For example : Japanese colonial rule over Korea)

What was Colonialism?   Often it was invading / occupying other Lands / nations.. and ruling over the people of those nations.. as their colonial rulers /masters....

Colonialism often included widespread racism / discrimination / treating people as lesser etc.. 

It often (initially) denied the people of those nations the freedom to be free.

Etc.

(And this is in addition to many other wrong things which often happened too during colonialism)

 

-------------------------

My personal opinion (truly no offence intended) :

But if Christianity is used to support these colonisations..  then to me it is possibly like Christianity is possibly being used to support things that are wrong or harmful.. 

That is why I posted in this thread.  Not a slam on east or west.  

But just my personal thoughts.  Again truly no offence intended to anyone.  My apologies if I spoke too frankly.

Thank you.
