Good for you, putting him in his place.

Nevertheless, and not wanting to minimize the sufferings of your family, you 
can't deny that, while the British did maintain their hold over India by
occasionally brutal (dare I say thuggish?) means, the real massacres, I
mean the hundreds-of-thousands-killed massacres, took place between
Indians, or Indians and Pakistanis, *after* the British left. Say what
you like about imperialists, they do tend to keep the natives from each
others' throats.
