Remembering India’s forgotten holocaust

British policies killed nearly 4 million Indians in the 1943-44 Bengal
Famine

Rakesh Krishnan Simha

June 13, 2014,

The Bengal Famine of 1943-44 must rank as the greatest disaster in the
subcontinent in the 20th century. Nearly 4 million Indians died because
of an artificial famine created by the British government, and yet it
gets little more than a passing mention in Indian history books.

What is remarkable about the scale of the disaster is its time span.
World War II was at its peak and the Germans were rampaging across
Europe, targeting Jews, Slavs and the Roma for extermination. It took
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi cohorts 12 years to round up and murder 6
million Jews, but their Teutonic cousins, the British, managed to kill
almost 4 million Indians in just over a year, with Prime Minister
Winston Churchill cheering from the sidelines.

Australian biochemist Dr Gideon Polya has called the Bengal Famine a
“manmade holocaust” because Churchill’s policies were directly
responsible for the disaster. Bengal had a bountiful harvest in 1942,
but the British started diverting vast quantities of food grain from
India to Britain, contributing to a massive food shortage in the areas
comprising present-day West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar and Bangladesh.

Author Madhusree Mukerjee tracked down some of the survivors and paints
a chilling picture of the effects of hunger and deprivation. In
Churchill’s Secret War, she writes: “Parents dumped their starving
children into rivers and wells. Many took their lives by throwing
themselves in front of trains. Starving people begged for the starchy
water in which rice had been boiled. Children ate leaves and vines, yam
stems and grass. People were too weak even to cremate their loved ones.”

“No one had the strength to perform rites,” a survivor tells Mukerjee.
“Dogs and jackals feasted on piles of dead bodies in Bengal’s villages.”
The ones who got away were men who migrated to Calcutta for jobs and
women who turned to prostitution to feed their families. “Mothers had
turned into murderers, village belles into whores, fathers into
traffickers of daughters,” writes Mukerjee.



Mani Bhaumik, the first to get a PhD from the IITs and whose invention
of excimer surgery enabled Lasik eye surgery, has the famine etched in
his memory. His grandmother starved to death because she used to give
him a portion of her food.



By 1943 hordes of starving people were flooding into Calcutta, most
dying on the streets. The sight of well-fed white British soldiers
amidst this apocalyptic landscape was “the final judgement on British
rule in India”, said the Anglophile Jawaharlal Nehru.

Churchill could easily have prevented the famine. Even a few shipments
of food grain would have helped, but the British prime minister
adamantly turned down appeals from two successive Viceroys, his own
Secretary of State for India and even the President of the US .

Subhas Chandra Bose, who was then fighting on the side of the Axis
forces, offered to send rice from Myanmar, but the British censors did
not even allow his offer to be reported.

Churchill was totally remorseless in diverting food to the British
troops and Greek civilians. To him, “the starvation of anyhow underfed
Bengalis (was) less serious than sturdy Greeks”, a sentiment with which
Secretary of State for India and Burma, Leopold Amery, concurred.

Amery was an arch-colonialist and yet he denounced Churchill’s
“Hitler-like attitude”. Urgently beseeched by Amery and the then Viceroy
Archibald Wavell to release food stocks for India, Churchill responded
with a telegram asking why Gandhi hadn’t died yet.

Wavell informed London that the famine “was one of the greatest
disasters that has befallen any people under British rule”. He said when
Holland needs food, “ships will of course be available, quite a
different answer to the one we get whenever we ask for ships to bring
food to India”.

Churchill’s excuse — currently being peddled by his family and
supporters — was Britain could not spare the ships to transport
emergency supplies, but Mukerjee has unearthed documents that challenge
his claim. She cites official records that reveal ships carrying grain
from Australia bypassed India on their way to the Mediterranean.

Churchill’s hostility toward Indians has long been documented. At a War
Cabinet meeting, he blamed the Indians themselves for the famine, saying
they “breed like rabbits”. His attitude toward Indians may be summed up
in his words to Amery: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a
beastly religion.” On another occasion, he insisted they were “the
beastliest people in the world next to the Germans”.

According to Mukerjee, “Churchill’s attitude toward India was quite
extreme, and he hated Indians, mainly because he knew India couldn’t be
held for very long.” She writes in The Huffington Post, “Churchill
regarded wheat as too precious a food to expend on non-whites, let alone
on recalcitrant subjects who were demanding independence from the
British Empire. He preferred to stockpile the grain to feed Europeans
after the war was over.”

In October 1943, at the peak of the famine, Churchill said at a lavish
banquet to mark Wavell’s appointment: “When we look back over the course
of years, we see one part of the world’s surface where there has been no
war for three generations. Famines have passed away — until the horrors
of war and the dislocations of war have given us a taste of them again —
and pestilence has gone… This episode in Indian history will surely
become the Golden Age as time passes, when the British gave them peace
and order, and there was justice for the poor, and all men were shielded
from outside dangers.”

Churchill was not only a racist but also a liar.

A history of holocausts
To be sure, Churchill’s policy towards famine-stricken Bengal wasn’t any
different from earlier British conduct in India. In Late Victorian
Holocausts, Mike Davis points out that here were 31 serious famines in
120 years of British rule compared with 17 in the 2,000 years before
British rule.

In his book, Davis tells the story of the famines that killed up to 29
million Indians. These people were, he says, murdered by British State
policy. In 1876, when drought destituted the farmers of the Deccan
plateau, there was a net surplus of rice and wheat in India. But the
Viceroy, Robert Bulwer-Lytton, insisted that nothing should prevent
their export to England.

In 1877 and 1878, at the height of the famine, grain merchants exported
record quantities of grain. As the peasants began to starve, government
officials were ordered “to discourage relief works in every possible
way”. The only relief permitted in most districts was hard labour, from
which anyone in an advanced state of starvation was turned away. Within
these labour camps, the workers were given less food than the Jewish
inmates of Buchenwald, the Nazi concentration camp of World War II.

Even as millions died, Lytton ignored all efforts to alleviate the
suffering of millions of peasants in the Madras region and concentrated
on preparing for Queen Victoria’s investiture as Empress of India. The
highlight of the celebrations was a week-long feast at which 68,000
dignitaries heard her promise the nation “happiness, prosperity and
welfare”.

In 1901, The Lancet estimated that at least 19 million Indians had died
in western India during the famine of the 1890s. The death toll was so
high because the British refused to implement famine relief. Davis says
life expectancy in India fell by 20 percent between 1872 and 1921.

So it’s hardly surprising that Hitler’s favourite film was The Lives of
a Bengal Lancer, which showed a handful of Britons holding a continent
in thrall. The Nazi leader told the then British Foreign Secretary
Edward Wood (Earl of Halifax) that it was one of his favorite films
because “that was how a superior race must behave and the film was
compulsory viewing for the SS (Schutz-Staffel, the Nazi ‘protection
squadron’)”.

Crime and consequences
While Britain has offered apologies to other nations, such as Kenya for
the Mau Mau massacre, India continues to have such genocides swept under
the carpet. Other nationalities have set a good example for us. Israel,
for instance, cannot forget the Holocaust; neither will it let others,
least of all the Germans. Germany continues to dole out hundreds of
millions of dollars in cash and arms aid to Israel.

Armenia cannot forget the Great Crime — the systematic massacre of 1.8
million Armenians by the Turks during World War I. The Poles cannot
forget Joseph Stalin’s Katyn massacre.

The Chinese want a clear apology and reparations from the Japanese for
at least 40,000 killed and raped in Nanking during World War II. And
then there is the bizarre case of the Ukrainians, who like to call a
famine caused by Stalin’s economic policies as genocide, which it
clearly was not. They even have a word for it: Holodomor.

And yet India alone refuses to ask for reparations, let alone an
apology. Could it be because the British were the last in a long list of
invaders, so why bother with an England suffering from post-imperial
depression? Or is it because India’s English-speaking elites feel
beholden to the British? Or are we simply a nation condemned to
repeating our historical mistakes? Perhaps we forgive too easily.

But forgiveness is different from forgetting, which is what Indians are
guilty of. It is an insult to the memory of millions of Indians whose
lives were snuffed out in artificial famines.

British attitudes towards Indians have to seen in the backdrop of
India’s contribution to the Allied war campaign. By 1943, more than 2.5
million Indian soldiers were fighting alongside the Allies in Europe,
Africa and Southeast Asia. Vast quantities of arms, ammunition and raw
materials sourced from across the country were shipped to Europe at no
cost to Britain.

Britain’s debt to India is too great to be ignored by either nation.
According to Cambridge University historians Tim Harper and Christopher
Bayly, “It was Indian soldiers, civilian labourers and businessmen who
made possible the victory of 1945. Their price was the rapid
independence of India.”

There is not enough wealth in all of Europe to compensate India for 250
years of colonial loot. Forget the money, do the British at least have
the grace to offer an apology? Or will they, like Churchill, continue to
delude themselves that English rule was India’s “Golden Age”?

Ask yourself what would India be like today if it had never have been
invaded by Turks/Afghans/Uzbeks/Mughals and colonized by the Portuguese,
French and British?

There will probably be no India, as the individual states would have become
countries on their own, like the European Union...

Did Churchill cause the Bengal Famine of 1943, as has been claimed?

There’s been much heated debate about Churchill’s alleged culpability in the deaths of thousands of Indians during the Bengal Famine of 1943. Some say he denied vital food supplies to India at a time when lives could have been saved, diverting these to Allies in the Mediterranean instead, while others say food was no scarcer in Bengal in ’43 than in ’41 (when there was no famine); that hoarding, declining wages, unemployment, rising food prices and poor food-distribution systems all contributed to the deaths. Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, historian Mark Tauger and science journalist Madhusree Mukerjee have all entered the debate recently and the findings are inconclusive. See the Indian ‘Telegraph’ article about the debate.

It seems that, at worst, Churchill’s failure was in not sending more aid – but then he was determined to win a war to protect Europe first and foremost. To say that Churchill caused the deaths of millions is untrue.

To find out more about this debate, read this article by the Churchill Project at Hillsdale College.


Note: It is also true that famines were routine in India before the Raj. The construction of the huge railway system during the Raj and other infrastructure projects will have saved many from famine because often enough it was poor communication systems before the railways which caused famine. RH

Churchill was a vile racist who hated Indians especially Bengalis. He was also a misanthrope who lived to get as many good men as possible get killed by
warfare for he was a warmonger before anything else. This mass killer got
his chance by diverting food stocks from Bengal to Burma; he blocked the release
of existing stocks; then he did not allow any imports. That directly led to the
deaths of 3-4 million Bengalis in horrible ways. My grandmother told me many
terrible things she has seen with her own eyes. The starving people would beg
for starch, that would be decanted after boiling rice. She and many other ladies
fed the starving as much as possible and that way the number of deaths was
somewhat lessened. There was a military reason behind this - he thought
that the Bengalis would support the Japanese so killing and starving Bengalis
was necessary.

Non-Bengali Indian leaders and their followers have made hay out of the
suffering of the Bengalis. They got independence claiming British incompetence,
but the Bengalis themselves got nothing but suffering from partition after the
real holocaust of the WW2. Then they have been systematically deprived of
power, money and influence for the sanctimonious non-Bengali leaders were and
are in the pockets of the West. Well such is life.

As for Churchill, it is not difficult to show how much of a warmonger he was.
His fellow parliamentarians knew he was a shameless warmonger. Why he was like
that may be a matter of interest. My guess is that his classmates in school
were too frank about his mother's morals, and so made his life miserable. So he
got revenge by arranging world wars which would send that sort to their graves.
Just one person was responsible for the loss of the British Empire and England's
supremacy - and that was not Hitler. Hitler wanted the British Empire to last.
Out of loyalty to his US mother, Churchill I guess wanted US to replace UK as
the world's premium power. And that happened. The greatest irony is that
Churchill is still regarded as the greatest ever Englishman! Just as the
disastrous Gandi is still the father of the Indian nation. "What fools these
mortals be!"

Bengalis have more reason to hate Churchill than Jews have to hate Hitler, but
the plain fact is that unless the subject is brought up no one bothers to
even think about that vile racist. Indifference is the key, and the fact that
the Bengali population has multiplied plentifully despite Churchill's efforts
also matters not inconsiderably.

Britain's Empire was a matter for pride, not guilt - as we Indians know
ZAREER MASANI


Today, in Britain, the word “empire” always seems to be preceded by the word “evil”, with politically correct media and academia glibly assuming that those large swathes of the map that were once painted pink endured unmitigated political oppression and economic exploitation.

As an Indian historian, I’m bemused by this masochistic glee. With Britain preparing to rebuild trade links with its former empire post-Brexit, does it really need to apologise for its imperial past? Or could it take new pride in what it did to modernise and democratise the world?

To me the answer is clear. Yet many Britons are ready to swallow the most outrageous allegations about their country’s colonial past. A particularly egregious example is the recent claim by the Indian polemicist Shashi Tharoor, in his book Inglorious Empire, that Winston Churchill had more blood on his hands than Hitler because he caused the death of millions of Bengalis during the famine of 1943.

The factual basis for the genocide charge against Churchill was his reluctance to divert wartime food supplies from Europe to Bengal – rather different from willing or causing the starvation of Bengalis. Churchill’s belief that the Bengal problem was not a shortage of foodgrains but hoarding and speculation by local traders has since been confirmed by the Nobel Prize-winning Bengali economist Amartya Sen.

In the current context of resurgent Hindu chauvinism, it’s easy to see why public opinion in India prefers to blame the foreign Raj, rather than greedy Hindu merchants, for past famines. It’s less easy to understand why the British are so eager to take the blame.

Only a century ago, empire was the default mode of governance across the globe, based on the assumption that larger states with diverse populations and geography and free trade were likely to be richer and more successful.

Like the nation states that succeeded them, empires varied enormously in their treatment of subject peoples. The benign inclusiveness of Habsburg Mitteleuropa was a world apart from the ruthless racism of the Belgian Congo. The British Raj, with its insistence on the rule of law and individual human rights, was somewhere in between. Its faults have to be seen in the context of a subcontinent emerging from a millennium of despotic rule by invading Muslim elites from Central Asia and indigenous upper‑caste Hindus.

The most widely propagated fallacy about British imperial exploitation is the notion that India’s steep decline as the world’s leading textile exporter from the 18th century to the 19th was due to a deliberate policy of deindustrialisation by the British.

What’s ignored in that economic equation is the adverse impact that Europe’s industrial revolution inevitably had on traditional manufactures in all pre-industrial economies, regardless of who was in charge. Indian handlooms, like those in China or Britain itself, were swamped by the Satanic mills of Manchester. But by the 1860s, Indian businessmen had begun their own industrial revolution, with capital and technology imported from Britain. The thriving textile mills of colonial Bombay were soon giving Manchester a run for its money....Of course, the British Empire existed primarily for the benefit of Britain, but its incidental benefits for subject nations could be considerable. To dismiss those as being unintended is like denying the benefits of capitalism because it’s motivated by private profit.

Many thousands of British personnel in India had a sincere commitment to those they governed, especially in the elite Indian Civil Service, dubbed “heaven-born” for its incorruptibility. Recruited by competitive, open examination, the ICS was far ahead of its domestic British counterpart, attracting the best brains in Britain and India.

By the time of independence, most of the ICS had been “Indianised”, like the judiciary and the army. That demonstrates the demographic reality that the Raj throughout was more Indian than British. There was no way a few thousand Britons could have ruled a subcontinent of three hundred million for a century and a half without the active cooperation of the vast majority of Indians.

And unless the British have the decency to admit all the wrongs they did they
will remain as foolish as ever. Proper fools they look like now, making
Churchill their greatest hero. That man created the maximum damage for the
British, lost the Empire with two world wars he initiated, got very many
British killed, and did absolutely nothing good. He did much worse than
providing fully the blood, toil, tears and sweat that he promised. There were
many well-intentioned British in the Empire but they were all racist. That was

You really might want to look at what actually started the two world wars.

Heh, England and its men had invaded the rest of the world more successfully
than the other Europeans and that led to the world wars. Churchill was the
catalyst for both. The world wars should not have lasted that long nor need
have been so bloody. Churchill was directly responsible for the Gallipoli disaster.

After the defeat at Dunkirk he did what he could to get as
many people killed as possible, even though Hitler let them go out of racist
kindness to his own kind.

Well, Churchill got the wars he wanted. That he did, that king of warmongers.
I don't see what good it did the British and their Empire. As I said, Hitler was
never against the British Empire. He wanted a land empire; in due course
Europe would have been like what China is today with everyone speaking German
had he consolidated. With no world wars, India and Indians would have a far
better standard of living today, much as Australians enjoy.

The lies of the winning side do not influence my judgment; nor do they bring
back to life the many millions killed, nor do they bring back the once-great
British Empire. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were nowhere
near as bad as portrayed by the warmongers and their corrupted following. From
the 2017 point of view, it certainly appears that the good people lost in the
WW2 bigly, and so there is nothing and no one good enough in the world today
to understand great and good things, such as my works:

He has not done much harm so far. He is merely continuing with the cold war
with the help of North Korea, China and Russia. As I predicted. The Cold War
did a lot of good to engineers and from that to society. A more peaceful
version of that (sans Vietnam, etc.) will be just great. There could be more
demand for my new physics and new motors. Fine for all, then. It could be
that the Australian Govt. may help my research to make vimans for space travel;
certainly they could be modified with a new class of rail guns to make all
USA's aircraft carriers, planes, etc. obsolete. Not that I want to use my
work for military purposes.

So all this aircraft carrier rattling is really good. It keeps the media happy
and the military-industrial complexes buzzing, the people scared and united in
working hard, etc. I believe that El Presidente Mr Donald Trump is deep down
a fine man, so will do the right thing. In any case it will be very stupid for
him to attack North Korea, he will be walking straight into a trap if he does
do that. He would be better off developing new technologies to counter the
ballistic missile attacks, make them obsolete. That is the way Cold War should
progress - with peace and prosperity everywhere. Till humans evolve and outgrow
the need for wars of all kind, without getting lazy and corrupt.

If that makes you feel happy. From the Indian point of view as per Raj Kapoor:

RK packs in what "82 IQ-wallahs" can do in a minute or two with lots of

Where lips utter the words of truth;
Where hearts are clean of sin and vice:
We are the natives of the land,
We are the natives of the land,
The land through which the Ganga flows.

Those we consider as our guests
Are dearer to us than our lives.
We have no greed for acquisition;
We can manage with very little.

For its children this earth as mother
Endures all for ever and ever.
We are the natives of this land,
The land through which the Ganga flows.

Those people who know rather more -
They understand humans rather less.
This is the East; for those in the East
Every life has its worth and meaning;
They know the cost of every life.

Live together in peace and with love.
This is the one message that remains
From the natives of the land
The land through which the Ganga flows.

To give FBI* his due, one of my friends working in IBM sent an email to our
group showing a robot mosquito used for spying. Amazing technology we have
these days. And this was some years ago. I suppose the main problem they have
is how to process the tons of data they get from their inputs, to come to some
valid conclusions. Going by the inputs of some in this thread
the Big Brother type has low IQ and so will come to wrong conclusions from all
the huge data he cannot manage.

Anyway, most surveillance stuff done on google and facebook
is directed to ads; and so, harmless.

It would be nice if they made androids playing cricket (or baseball to begin
with) but this is too much to hope for in my lifetime, alas.

Ozymandias is the name of a sonnet by P B Shelley.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I think churchill's a fibber at the very least.

In 1938 the agreement that uk had to use the Irish deep water Atlantic
ports expired.1940 and Chruchill was crapping his flannels with no
deep water access to the Atlantic.He asked De Valera for an extension,
but De Valera declined. He offered him in not so many words the
outstanding 6 counties of Ireland. De Valera declined again. Churchill
set about arranging an invasion force to take over the ports. The 26
counties Eire were a neutral country, and invading a neutral country
is a big no no. The Germans would have dived in to the rescue and
Britain would have been stuffed.Anyway the Americans joined in and
saved him.
Churchill was no match for De Valera. Both were gamblers in politics,
but for the sheer slime ball skill of coming second in a civil
war,being jailed and still managing to become boss of the country De
Valera has it.

After the war the German uboats n stuff were brought into Londonderry.
Churchill made his speech. Blahh blahh mumble the loyalty of Belfast
blah and Londonderry enabled us to 'dispense' with the ports of Cork
and mumble blaaah whatever the other two were ??

It took 4 years for that fib to be fibbed.

Uboats were reported in the deep water channels on the Irish west
coast. Further to se the uboats surfaced to approach fishing fleets to
purchase.
The Germans were there already, they had the Atlantic secure at that
time. It was only the intervention of America that changed things. The
Americans went straight to lough Foyle or lough Swilly which strangled
the German navy's Atlantic activities.
If Churchill had of invaded Ireland (after being ejected by force only
few years earlier)the Germans would have been justified in
'liberating' Ireland from the invaders. This could have been a total
disaster for the British. A war in Ireland kicked off again, Germans
and Irish on the same side, and over a million Irish nationals living
in England.
Worst of all and the prime reason for the panic was, if Germany could
find somewhere on the Irish west coast to base Tirpitz there would
have been mayhem in the Atlantic and Britain would have been besieged.

It was another bing bong wreckless gamble by Churchill that
immobilised Tirpitz. They call it 'the greatest raid of all -
'St Nazaire. It was complete lunacy, but it worked with the help of
dedicated lunatics called the commando. The RAF finished off the
Tirpitz in 1944.

I think you overestimate the importance of Lough Foyle and if iirc Lough
Swilly was protected by the Irish and not used. The British had other
ports in N Ireland and the air bases to try and protect the convoys

The reason they needed a deep water access to the Atlantic was to
provide a safe port for Tirpitz. I know the uboats could have used the
Irish ports, but without a huge building effort after any invasion it
would all have been bollox and wouldn't work.
The scenarios if America had not joined in are scary.

It would have taken a huge building effort to keep German capital ships
safe in Irish ports including massive air cover. Was there much of a
move in Ireland to join forces with the Axis powers during the war?

There's a massive difference between the odd u-boat being nearby and being able to get a large land force across.

Sorry but no.
The German's never had the number of surface ships to control the Atlantic (even their abandoned pre-war plans only had them getting parity with the UK navy in 1944, and they dropped them to make more u-boats which were largely supply ship raiders)
In 1940 the German navy took a lot of losses in the Norwiegan campaign and had very few undamaged heavy ships left.

They didn't have the navy force makeup to do it. Hell they didn't have the navy to cross the English Channel for Operation Sealion using barges to carry troops.

The plan was developed by Combined Operations and Churchill's major input seems to have been ruling out a bombing attack as it would have caused too many civilian casualties.
I don't know that it counts as a reckless gamble, it seems to have been a pretty well planned operation which went off pretty well. The major objective was achieved and the Commandos caused a fair amount of damage, I'd also suggest that it caused a lot of anxiety and tied up resources for the rest of the war.

Between 1922 and 1938 the British mantained control of some Irish deep
water ports. The treaty expired, De Valera refused to renew it and
Churchill began preps for invading Ireland to take the ports.

Churchill said there was. Remember it was only about 20 years since
the British burnt Cork to the ground, and other towns and farms as
well. There might not have been support for Germany, but there
certainly wouldn't have been any for the British.

Certainly true in N Ireland with massive co-operation between the Ira
and the Abwehr (sic)

It would have been an interesting situation but from what I understand
most of the ports were going to be destroyed and blockade ships sunk.

One of the main allies Britain had in the war was Hitler himself who (1) lived under the delusion that he was a military genius and (2) frequently sabotaged the supply of equipment by running after a new enthusiasm which took resources away from the war effort and frequently affected the development of a previous enthusiasm. The super U-boat was a classic example as was the Heinkel 177 (the four engined bomber that never saw regular service) and ,when well into the war, the development of jet planes, rocket planes, air to air missiles, air to ground missiles and ground to air missiles.

Goes way back further than that I reckon. The 'Fianna' were a clan
assembled from the inhabitants of Ireland. Their stories are told by
Oisin and they are known as the fenian cycle. Mostly they tell about
his Father and clan chief Fion mac Cumhaill.
The idea for the name of the irb probably comes from the tale that
Fionn mac Chumhaill never died but went to sleep in a cave surrounded
by the Fianna. He is to awake in Irelands time of greatest need and
sort things out.

English is not a legal nationality. It is in the truest sense a nationality because it exists regardless of law. One cannot choose to be English; one can only be English if one is automatically accepted as English by those who are automatically accepted as English. Next! RH

I was not referring to the Indian context. More in line with England (Cromwell
et al), France (The Terror), Russia, China, Cambodia, etc. There we have the
low castes killing off or driving away the high castes. Also in Rwanda where
the low caste Hutus genocided the high caste Tutsis.

In India too the high castes have been attacked, with the Brahmins being
specially targeted by the progressives. However some sort of balance is getting
restored these days. Here it was not the lower castes as such attacking the
higher castes, but people from the higher castes who had come to think that
caste was a bad idea.

Among the Indian lower castes there is trouble relating to land and labour,
mainly; so they fight among each other. The Dalits give as good as they get.
Recently a Dalit group killed someone for not paying up for killing a goat.
Some of those tribes were criminals by profession, so they are by no means
non-violent. Usually they do not gang up against the higher castes though; they
welcome them instead as they mediate and provide opportunities when in their
midst.

In Australia yes it
has been the other way around, with the indigenous castes (aborigines) totally

stone age peoples in Africa and the Americas. New Zealand is an exception.

Well such is life, and we all must make our way through it, getting the best
of what we can from wherever. Best done, without creating trouble.

Not because of a caste system

New Zealand is an exception.

You might like to look at the Maori situation in NZ

So wish I was. Could not make it to the class A team and that is a regret
that cannot be expunged.

Who is untouchable in India? Well apart from the privileged crooks that is.

It is not a question of Dalits getting a beating and doing nothing about it.
They are represented in politics, and reservations have been going on for
them for the 70 years. They have special privileges in education, jobs,
promotions, grants.

Of course because of the caste system for no white woman would marry any
aborigine. So unequal, what. Caste is about intermarriage within a given group
which forms the caste.

Went there, travelled all over for 15 days covering over 7000Km. Paid $80 or
so for a hangi dinner and concert with them at Rotorua. Saw the museums and
zoos, etc. So I got a fair picture. The Maoris have it really good as compared
to the Australian aboriginals.

Only those who are automatically accepted as English, Scotch, Welsh and Scotch-Irish should be so designated. RH
