Reclusive Indian

Winston Churchill’s actions during the Bengal Famine of 1943 were not just negligent - they were deliberate acts of genocidal cruelty fueled by racism and imperial greed. Claims by apologists attempting to paint Churchill as innocent collapse under the weight of historical evidence. Here I debunk their lying claims: Claim 1: British government found out about the famine’s severity in August 1943. Truth: Churchill’s administration knew of the impending famine 8 months before it unfolded. On December 18, 1942, the Food Department of India sent a desperate telegram to the British Secretary of State, warning of catastrophic food shortages caused by monsoon failure (Image 1). The plea was unequivocal - India faced a shortfall of 1.4 million tons of rice, 650,000 tons of millets, 400,000 tons of wheat, and 200,000 tons of gram. The message was clear, immediate assistance was required to avoid absolute disaster. Instead Churchill not only withheld aid while the famine raged - his administration FORCED India to export 360,000 tons of wheat and rice in 1942-43. This grain, which could have saved two million Indian lives, was diverted to support British war efforts. Churchill had 8 full months to act but deliberately did NOTHING to prevent the oncoming famine crisis in India. Claim 2: Churchill worked hard to “save the people of Bengal.” Truth: Churchill’s policies were rooted in contempt for Indian lives. Viceroy Wavell’s journal reveals that during a September 1943 Cabinet meeting, Churchill raged against sending food relief to India, insisting that supplies should instead be stockpiled for liberated European nations like Greece (Image 2). Wavell’s damning words capture Churchill’s callousness: "Apparently it is more important to save the Greeks and liberated countries from starvation than the Indians." Churchill clearly commanded that relief should be restricted ONLY to those directly contributing to British war efforts, such as British army soldiers and factory/railroad workers, while leaving millions of the most helpless ordinary civilians to starve. Claim 3: Churchill authorized around 1 million tons of grain to be shipped to India between August 1943 and December 1944. Truth: This is a deviously misleading calculated half-truth. While approximately 900,000 tons of grain were sent, Churchill did not intend this food for Indian starving civilians at all. Viceroy Wavell’s June 24, 1944 telegram makes it clear that this grain was needed to feed the British Army stationed in India (Image 3). He warned Churchill that bases were “liable to starvation” if food was not imported. The British military alone required over 1 million tons of grain annually for its operations, leaving NO meaningful relief for starving Indian civilians. Churchill’s shipments were not humanitarian aid at all - they were clinically heartless logistical measures granted only to sustain Britain’s war machine. By late 1943, when he finally reluctantly sanctioned some aid at the insistence of Wavell & Amery, even that relief was conditional. In a further act of cruelty, Churchill agreed to send 150,000 tons of wheat to India ONLY if India supplied an equivalent amount of rice to Ceylon. Churchill FORCED India to export more than 70,000 tons of rice to Ceylon between January and July 1943 exactly when the worst part of the famine was setting in. Such policies reveal Churchill’s true priorities: maintaining imperial dominance, no matter the human cost of Indian lives. This demolishes the argument that it was just a problem with shipping due to the war. Apparently there was no problem with shipping when sending food grains OUT of India during the height of the Famine! In December 1943, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was created. Friends of India lobbied the USA for famine relief through UNRRA. But Churchill sent his representative Llewelyn to argue AGAINST any aid to India with the outrageous claim that the Indian famine had NOT been caused by war efforts. The corpulent tyrant ensured starving Indians could not even get UNRRA aid despite thousands of Indians fighting for the British in the War. And to add insult to injury he made India PAY $24 million while Indians starved! Worst of all, Viceroy Wavell’s June 24, 1944 telegram makes it clear that there was a SECOND FAMINE impending in India in 1944 (Image 4), and grain was desperately needed to feed the British Army stationed in India. He warned Churchill that bases were “liable to starvation” if food was not imported. But Churchill did NOTHING. It was only by a huge stroke of luck that the monsoon turned out to be better than expected and Indians were able to avert a SECOND deadly famine in 1944 - otherwise we would be talking about 10s of millions murdered. The Bengal Famine of 1943 was not an unavoidable calamity - it was a man-made atrocity, orchestrated by Churchill’s racist and imperialist policies. Under his leadership, 3–5 million Indians died, not because of natural disaster but because Churchill mercilessly prioritized British interests over Indian lives. His infamous comment to Leo Amery that “famine relief would do no good because Indians breed like rabbits” lays bare the contempt he held for millions of Indians dying in agony after Britain had sucked all of India's resources dry. To Churchill, the death of millions of Indians was not a tragedy - it was pest control of the Indians he held in such contempt. Churchill’s actions were not only cruel but genocidal in intent. He deliberately exacerbated famine conditions by denying vital food shipments to India, exporting vital resources from India, ignoring urgent warnings, desperate pleas for help and hoarding grain for British soldiers and European allies. The evidence is irrefutable: Winston Churchill was no hero. For India, he was a murderous tyrant whose policies inflicted unspeakable suffering. The Bengal Famine remains a permanent and horrific stain on Winston Churchill's legacy, a chilling reminder of the horrors of imperialism, and an indictment of those who seek to glorify it. Had it had been a Western country with millions of white Christians that starved instead of brown Hindus, then none of these apologists would make a peep to defend Churchill’s murderous actions.

"Watch Kanhaiya Lal's beheading. You will receive the same fate. It is your turn now. Even Modi won't be able to save you." Scary threats to Hindu seer @drsumanandgiri because of his views. This cannot be normalised anymore. @HMOIndia should immediately provide him security.

Not surprising. Wikipedia is completely controlled by leftist wokes and Islamists (many are Pakistanis). In 2022, after I took up writing on Gopal Mukherjee (Gopal pantha) to spread his name, some Pakistani editors quietly deleted the Wikipedia English page on Gopal Mukherjee in 2022- 23. When I came to know of it, I wrote about it here on X, which created a lot of noise. As revenge for highlighting the deletion of Gopal Mukherjee page and making it known, I am banned from editing on Wikipedia from 2023. They keep renewing the ban each time the ban period ends. The first time ban was by a Pakistani editor. After that each time it’s a different editor that keeps renewing the ban. This image is today’s. After 8 months a different editor will again ban me from editing.

Winston Churchill starved India. We owe it to the victims not to rewrite history.

🚨BREAKING : In Nababganj, Bangladesh, the body of Hindu women Rupali Sarkar (36), wife of Arun Sarkar, was recovered from a orchard. She was allegedly strangled to death. Multiple injury marks were found on her body. Another Hindu woman has been killed in Bangladesh. #HinduLivesMatter @UN_Women @hrw

🚨 TEMPLE ATTACK IN COX’S BAZAR 🚨 Islamists launched a brutal attack on Kurushkul Hindu Temple in Cox’s Bazar. The anti-Hindu BNP Govt is openly patronizing these islamists to carry out such attacks on minorities. This state-sponsored persecution must stop! #SaveBangladeshiHindus

The lack of moral compass of the Indian left is again on display here. Indians defending India = bhakt (derisive). Chinese wolf warriors & nationalists = "patiently explaining" You will not find ONE Chinese handle, anon or named, openly criticizing Xi Jinping, their terrible hukao system, their fake numbers. You find millions of Indians criticizing our own openly. All this is patently obvious. However leftists have collectively failed to question the Chinese CCP story.

Bangladesh 🇧🇩 : Dead body of Hindu women ( Rupali Sarkar ) found in a garden . There were injuries in her neck . Location 📍 Rangpur,Dinajpur,Nawabganj,Daudpur,Pachgachi,Uttorpara.

Karate Kalyani ji went to a hospital to meet a patient and was shocked to see the staff are doing conversions instead of treating the patients. Haven’t heard that police took action in such cases. There are scores of govt hospitals where such atrocities are conducted by the #ConversionMafia That’s the nurse (in the pic) Vimala Kumari alias yesamma, who’s distributing Bibles and telling patients that they are cured because of zesus. She has no remorse. She is shouting that it’s her wish. Even the calendars in the hospital are with xistian Bible verses filled calendars. Next to most of the patients beds there are bibles placed. Full video is here: youtube.com/live/0--SAGUEO…

SHOCKING in Warangal’s MGM Government Hospital! In a public hospital meant for the sick, Christian fanatics are creating chaos. Patients & relatives are stunned & disturbed. These vultures prey on the poorest Hindu patients especially women telling them “your gods are powerless, that’s why you suffer.” They lure them with money & aid for conversions! How is this allowed in a hospital? This is new & Transforming Telangana as per Khangees !

10 yr old Pak Christian girl Diya sexually assaulted by Islamist elderly man.A grown Islamist man exploited and molested a defenseless 10 yr old Christian child, shattering her purity without any remorse. In Islamic Pakistan, no non-Muslim girl is too young to be targeted — this is the horrifying price minorities pay for existing in a land where predators operate with impunity. This is the everyday nightmare for non-Muslim daughters in Islamic Pakistan. @RobertBiedron @weimers @KaroblisR

An Intoxicated Muslim Asked a Hindu Elderly Man for Sugar, Then Began Hurling Abuses. When confronted, he called in a jihadi mob, which launched a brutal attack on the Hindu family. Women’s clothes were torn, and a girl child was thrown into the air. @journolinc brings you the story of the attack on a Hindu family in Gujarat’s Kheda district.

🚨 BREAKING: In Lalmonirhat, #Bangladesh, a young Hindu child named Nandini was brutally murdered after being missing for two days. Her body was found stuffed in a sack in a cornfield. When will the persecution and killings of Hindus stop? #SaveBangladeshHindus

Anti-Hindu alert! Same old story. Indian woman immigrates to America to bash India, bash Hindus with absolute lies. Zeba Warsi gets big job at PBS News to spread lies about a leader who respects all. She is bashing Hindu music, adding another layer of hate. Anything Hindus do is attacked. Why does India produce idiots like this?

I thought I should write something really measured and accessible explaining why this headline from @nytimes is so misleading. I wanted to do it in a way that would make sense to people who don't already see the problem. So first, I meditated. You know, to calm down. Then I looked at the headline again and thought: WHAT THE ACTUAL REFRIGERATOR. Okay, breathe in...and out. To begin with, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not a "new" hero to Indians and Hindus. That's a laughable proposition. Even I know that, and I grew up here in the United States before the internet. This is like saying George Washington is a new hero to Americans. Buildings, airports, train terminals, roads, universities, and public institutions have borne Shivaji's name for decades. Long before the current administration took office. So the question is not whether Shivaji is actually a new hero. The question is why the Times would frame him that way. And this is where media literacy becomes useful. Notice the language. Not "new memorials have been built." Not "additional statues have been commissioned." Not even "Shivaji statues have become more common." Instead, we are told that statues of Shivaji are "rising across India." It is a fascinating choice of verb because statues do not normally "rise" in journalistic writing. Movements rise. Armies rise. Extremism rises. Threats rise. The word "rise" transforms what could have been described as commemorative acts into something vaguely threatening. The image it conjures is almost cinematic: Shivaji statues menacingly erupting from the earth across India like something out of a Marvel movie. What makes this especially frustrating is that there are genuine debates taking place in India about history, textbooks, colonization, historical memory, and the representation of Hindu civilization. Some scholars and members of the public argue that post-Independence narratives minimized aspects of Mughal conquest, neglected Hindu resistance movements, or failed to adequately account for Hindu civilizational contributions. Others disagree. But these are real debates, and they are neither new nor confined to one political party. In fact, Americans should find this entirely familiar. We revise textbooks all the time. We revisit historical narratives. We argue about whose stories were centered, whose stories were marginalized, and whether previous generations of historians got important things wrong. We understand that academic consensus is not infallible and that history is constantly being reexamined as new evidence emerges and new questions are asked. Yet when these debates about Indian history are translated for Western audiences (often by Indians themselves), they often become a much simpler story: the Hindu right is resurrecting forgotten heroes for political purposes and to oppress the minorities. The problem is that Shivaji was never forgotten in the first place. The debates themselves disappear, replaced by a narrative that is far easier for Western readers to recognize and consume. This is why bias is often less about outright falsehoods than about framing. The article does not simply describe Shivaji Maharaj. It encourages readers to understand him through a very particular lens: not as a historical figure who has occupied a central place in Indian historical memory for centuries, but as a symbol recently manufactured by "the Hindu right." Yet Shivaji was never forgotten. The framing tells us far more about how the Times wants its readers to view contemporary India and Hindus than it does about Shivaji himself. Of course, for those of us who have been paying attention to how @nytimes covers India and Hinduism for a long time, this distorted reportage isn't out of the ordinary. Absurd? Yes. Intellectually dishonest? Absolutely? Clearly seeking to manufacture negative public associations regarding the third-largest religion in the world? 100% Surprising? Not even a little bit.

The West finally discovers Gilli Danda, a game India has been playing for thousands of years.

During a dangerous ice storm in North Carolina, gas station owner Hitesh Patel was supposed to close at 10 p.m. Instead, he kept his store open all night so stranded travelers would have a warm and safe place to stay. Among those sheltering inside were a young mother traveling with four children and other motorists who could no longer safely drive on the icy roads. One traveler later shared the story online, saying they would have been freezing in their car if not for Patel's kindness. Sometimes the people who make the biggest difference are the ones who quietly choose to help when others need it most

A Muslim man tied up two Hindu girls in Bangladesh and cut their hair for not wearing a burqa. Hindus are disappearing and being slaughtered in Muslim controlled regions. But yet, the lunatic leftist liberals say, "Islam is a religion of peace." What a joke. Wake Up Folks.

🇮🇳 A Muslim woman helped her husband s*xually exploit a Hindu woman for 4 months. The victim was a 22-year-old Hindu woman who was a trainee in a beauty salon owned by a Muslim family in Madhya Pradesh, India. She accusea the Muslim family, alleging that the owner, Sharif Khan, s*xually assaulted her at their residence and that his wife stood guard while the husband assaulted her at the workplace. She also states that the family members of the perpetrator used threats of defamation to keep her silent. The local police arrested all three suspects who were sent to jail pending trial in Madhya Pradesh. This disturbing story is eerily reminiscent of the grooming gang scandals in the United Kingdom.

Shocking communal incident in Malakpet’s Akbar Bagh, Hyderabad! Dharmender objected to clothes being dried on a temple (Peacefuls dried cloths on temple ) , sparking an argument with neighbour Imran & his family. They allegedly launched a brutal nighttime attack on Dharmender’s family. Police have registered a case.
