>>It's really not historically responsible to equate British rule of Ireland with colonialism as it existed in India.

I'd be interested to find out why you think this is the case? I'm not an expert by any means on the history of either colonial era but the little I do know shows some striking similarities in how the natives were treated by the British as far as rapacious barbarity in multiple cases.
