Abstract
This thesis will address the claim that Marx and Engels held pro-colonialist views, using their writings on India as a case study.It will address both the issue of support for colonialism as a political project, and the issue of whether they had Eurocentric/"Orientalist" ideas of India.I will argue they began as reluctant supporters of British colonialism in India, conceptualizing it as an exploitative but progressive force, but then moved towards anti-colonialism later on.Additionally, I will argue that Marx and Engels reproduced Eurocentric/"Orientalist" stereotypes about Indian's stagnation, but that they did not explain this stagnation as a product of racial inferiority.I will argue Marx's late notebooks present a less Eurocentric view of India.Finally, I will locate my work in the discussion of decolonizing philosophy, drawing out potential implications for the Marxian project, and the nuances of Marx and Engels's legacy.iii

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
