Britain squeezing India. The Bohemian Budgie |
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. Survival of British Imperialism at any cost: 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).

03. Britishness should be preserved at any cost: Because people from other countries including Europe are no way better than the British who are a class apart, born to rule the world and not to be ruled by other inferior people or countries. (He strongly believed in the supremacy of the British and their administrative skills).
04. Do not give freedom to India: 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,the idea of Home land for the Indians be on the back burner (Churchill set the road block for India's freedom; he purposely stalled the freedom process for a longer period than expected and had scant respect for the top Indian freedom fighters.

06. Go ahead and use chemical weapons against the tribal communities: 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. No hesitation to be shown to get donations from private companies: Nothing wrong in accepting massive cash donations from oil companies, etc to represent them in parliament and be a voice for them. It is mutually beneficial .Their money is for the party and our political services for the companies' survival. (Churchill encouraged lobbying for big companies in return for cash for the party)
10. Vigilante justice; taking revenge: One of the important glorious traits of Winston is to take revenge on the country or people who hurt his ego or political plan very much. For example, to teach a lesson or two to the Germans and Hitler's Red Army, for Churchill it is ethical to bomb the German villages and kill innocent people. Tit- for- tat is a good war policy to deal with fascist leaders like Hitler, who like Churchill, was a racist in a different context. 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 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).
Many historians find no difference between Churchill and Hitler in terms of murder and mayhem they openly committed. The former was responsible for the Bengal holocaust (1943) and the latter was the architect of extermination of Jews and others in Germany, Poland and other places. The man who is voted as the most famous English man in the recent past is, paradoxically, the most sinned British subject ever walked on the earth. Hitler, who was to be sent to the gallows, killed himself, but Churchill escaped the gallows because of his dubious Democratic credentials and his close connections with the British Royalty.
