If people claim to be colonised, & you can't see it, perhaps you need to examine your own lenses rather than casting doubts on their claims. The closer you are to the source of power, the harder it is to see those who are situated at its margins.

The metal tenements that dot the landscape of Nadia in Bengal in East India, reflect the transient nature of the weavers’ lives. Although the area is relatively less flood-prone, the inhabitants, who were weaver-migrants from Bangladesh are known to have carried this skill.
