ACCUSED LORD MACAULAY, BRIG-GEN DYER & CHURCHILL

-

As per the charge-sheet, the British had gone a step ahead than Nazis to create a class of their English trained “Brown Sahibs” to help them rule over India and assist them in their cruel intention to strip India of its glory, wealth and culture. Lord Macaulay, known as the father of the British education system in India, was instrument­al in destroying the Gurukul and skill-based education concept. The British lured the gullible Indian farmers with a promise of bright future and sent them away to remote lands—like Fiji,

Africa and Trinidad and Tobago—as indentured labour for sugarcane farming. Brigadier General Dyer massacred 1500 innocent and unarmed people, including women and children, in the Jallianwal­a Bagh, and no subsequent British regime has till date criticised this gruesome incident and his actions were rather justified as a duty of a soldier to maintain law and order, the prosecutio­n said. British PM Winston Churchill, according to the prosecutio­n, had exhibited his so-called white superiorit­y by describing Indians as “primitive” and had diverted grainfrom India to Europe and Britain to create food reserves. This led to massive food grain shortage in India, resulting in severe famine in Bengal, and the death of nearly four million people in 1943. Dalmia said that these “murders” were more than Jews dying in the WW-II holocaust. “Still, nobody mentions it and Churchill never received punishment for such crimes against Indians. No Britisher ever received punishment for murdering 30-40 million people, loot of approximat­ely $17 trillion, destructio­n of trade, industry, education and healthcare during their rule. It never got compared with the holocaust because those affected in India were not white skinned.”
