Britain squeezing India. The Bohemian Budgie |
Sir Winston Churchill, the two time PM of Britain, a hardcore conservative politician, will live on as one of the greatest men of the human race. Equally, he will remain well-known for his brashness, arrogance, racial superiority and utter disregard for human value and dignity. To cite an example his hatred for Gandhi, a half naked fakir who directly sought the audience of King Emperor, wearing informal loin cloth, symbolic of poor Indian people who were pushed to a wretched state by the British.
The fact is countless people in the UK never liked either his ballyhooed war time leadership and oratorical skill or his crass regard for the British labor class and other people in the lower strata of the society. Suffice to say people who are actually familiar with Churchill completely hate his guts bordering on snobbery and insolence.
Churchill's ten ''wrong'' commandments:
01. Britain should remain a colonial superpower as long as she could and the British colonies and the heads shall be at the beck and call of the British Crown. ( Churchill's loyalty to Britain was bordering on insanity and self-defeating)
02. Be a white supremacist as much as you can and advocate for eugenics, implying selective breeding to improve the composition of human race. Churchill advocated the sterilization of the "feeble minded and insane." (Churchill was a hardcore racist and hated African blacks, Jews, American Indians.Churchill’s attitude was quite explicitly racist. He told Amery “I hate Indians. They are beastly people with a beastly religion.” ).
03. The Britishness should be preserved at any cost because people from other countries are no way better than the British, implying the British are a class apart, born to rule and not to be ruled (He strongly believed in the supremacy of the British and their administrative skills).
04. India's rich natural resources are meant for the welfare of Britain alone and to keep the British economy in the pink. Giving freedom to India is suicidal. So, let it be on the back burner (Churchill set the road block for India;s freedom; he purposely stalled the freedom process and had scant respect for the Indian freedom fighters.
05, Dividing and ruling is part of British imperialistic extravaganza and adventurism. Try to drive a wedge between Muslim and Hindu communities in the Indian subcontinent and make them squeeze each others' neck. Have a barrel of fun when they are at war with each other. This way, we can mot only keep country divided but also hang on to power until they stop fighting which will never happen (he was indirectly responsible for instigating Indian Muslim leaders to have a separate homeland for them. .
06. When dealing with warring tribes in the rugged mountains of places like Afghanistan, be unscrupulous. Forget about the war norms. Don't show mercy and never hesitate to use poison gas against tribes. In 1919, on orders from Churchill, poison gas was used against the helpless Kurds who tried hard to protect their lands from the British India Army. (Churchill has the dubious distinction being one of the earliest promoters of Chemical weapons against civilians!!)

09. Nothing wrong in accepting massive cash donations from oil companies to represent them in parliament.(Churchill encouraged lobbying for big companies in return for cash for the party)
10. To teach a lesson or two to the Germans and Hitler's Red Army it is ethical to bomb the German villages and kill innocent people. Tit- for- tat is a good war policy to deal with leaders like Churchill. The Dresden bombing in Germany from February 13 to February 15, 1945 was a sad event in history. (Allied forces with American Army bombed the historic city of Dresden, located in eastern Germany during the final months of World War II. By February 15, the beautiful city was reduced to a smouldering mounds of rubbish and broken fragments. In the wake of this cruel bombing countless innocent civilians—estimated at somewhere between 35,000 and 135,000–were dead. Though American forces were involved, the initiative was taken by Churchill. It is oft repeated that Churchill “ordered” the fire bombing of Dresden as a “vicious payback” for the German bombing of Coventry)
