Winston Churchill is hated in India. You may ask why. For the same reason Hitler is hated in Europe. He was a rascist, genocidal maniac who saw Indians as lesser race. This is a big claim and I fair enough I need to present big evidences to back it up.
First of all let us see what he has to say about Indians.
" I hate Indians. They are beastly people with beastly religion."He intentionally took away all the food storage of Bengal resulting the Bengal famine of 1943 for the soldiers in his army. When Netaji Subhas Bose, Australia , Japan, Afghanistan tried to send food for the people he denied it. The famine killed 3 million people in one year. And Hitler took 11 million lives in 13 years. Do the math sir.
And btw I did not give the time when he said the quote mentioned above. He said that after the famine. Let me quote again- " I hate Indians. They are beastly people with beastly religion. The famine is there own fault for breeding like rabbits."
Leave India aside for a moment. He said this in England the “Keep England White” slogan.
Churchill also advocated on the use of gas in the Middle East and India. “I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against the uncivilized tribes… it would spread a lively terror.”
Churchill is best remembered for successfully leading Great Britain during the war against the Nazi’s. In many ways, he became the symbol of the fight for freedom. But his tales overshadow all the horrible things he did.
I would encourage sources from both sides. Interesting start.
