I am on India's side.
The Brits were our enemies. Yes if the Nazis kicked their @sses then yes I enjoyed it. BTW even the US allied with Jihadis, mujahideens and OBL in Afganistan to defeat Soviets. I suppose that is ok with you. Same logic applies here. IF the Nazis and INA allied to beat the British it is perfectly all right with most Indians.
.....So the Indians are Nazis according to you I suppose.
out of curiosity who built india's railroads, civil service, roads and other critical infrastructure? can you show me what the Nazis did?
You have no reason to say that. Do you maintain that the British Empire was colorblind multiracialism ? White supremacy was an essential part of the imperial ideology and there is nothing more offensive to white supremacy, nothing that will enrage a racist more, than a brown man having sex with a white woman. It was why Indian soldiers in France were denied leave. It is why in the second world war Indian soldiers were not employed in Northern Europe. Climate was not the only reason. This was an era in which all educated people throught the Western World were indoctrinated in Social Darwinism and Nordic Supremacy and eugenics and spoke quite freely about "higher" and "lower" races. It was an era in which the appointment of Simon Montagu as viceroy of India could be opposed on the grounds that being a Jew he would lack English firmness of character in dealing with the "lower" races.
You think of Gandhi as a Hitler worshipper? Wonder what you think of this guy. Subhash Chandra Bose.
I dont much care what you say about Gandhi but this guy is my hero............
..............so......... govern your responses accordingly :)
So you are an apologist for those imperialists? Oh so you are!
I dont think any Indian asked to be enslaved in return for...... "railroads, civil service, roads and other *critical* infrastructure" .
Nope we didnt asked for it. We could have/would have built it ourselves or at worst done without it.
read your post and read my reply,
you said:
"They did not want brown men killing white men and sleeping with white women."
I said;
"no, i'm sure they didnt."
what do you understand?
Are you a Troll trying to start an argument?
You do understand english right? If not I'm sorry. That statement means I agreed with you.
Yeah they built those stuff only to exploit India better. And what about Jallianwala bagh? The British Raj can actually make Red Communist China look like fairy tale land.
The India Ping List is of course a cover for the Mithun Fan Club of Greater Matunga. And the Yanks here are not the curious sort... :-)
As Genghis Khan has correctly pointed out in post #11, Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi. Dr. Bose was politically in tune with what is now the VHP/RSS today, which is also affiliated with the BJP. All these groups are right wing and conservative, and have my full support and blessings.
LOL!
There are a LOT of very significant stories that are intentionally overlooked. I have an uncle for example (great uncle on my mother's side actually) who was there at the time when a serious mutiny left 200 Americans dead. This is based on his own and the family's stories of course, but he and they are all credible yet I can find no record of such an event ever occuring.
This man was a highly decorated career soldier who was given an honor guard burial, so I tend to believe his accounts.
Yet, nothing at all in any historical record I can find.
If anyone here has access to that type of information, private message me and I'll provide what detail I have, including his name.
My point however, is that there are quite often very significant events which are intentionally not recorded for posterity.
Cheers,
Lloyd
<< You think of Gandhi as a Hitler worshipper? >>
1. No I do not.
2. Don't know what you wrote after the false premise contained in the quoted sentence.
Care to delete the false premise [Clue: -- Try not putting words into my mouth] -- and try again.
[I'm game]
dont bother he's a trol
He know who I am. Everyone you dont agree with is a troll right?
Well those arnt the exact words but I do remember you saying something about Hitler-loving-mahatma....whatever whatever....
Care to you deny that?
Think I will just have to dig up your posts .......am too lazy to do that.
one word--> wow ! where did you find these pics ? As far as I know, Indian govt wont release anything related to Netaji.
nah, its just your language. go look at your old posts if you want an example of trolling
Its possible that both of you are right..
Anyway, I read somewhere that Indian soldiers did sleep with lots of french women during WW-I than in WW.. I'm sorry but I dont remember where I read it. Afterall, french women are known to experiment and stuff ;)
But its also definite that there was no way Indian troops could've handled european winters.. they might've even pressurized their superior officers to transfer them to warmer climes.
Was Bose right or left-wing? I'm not sure the distinction is that relevant. The lines between right-wing and left-wing extremists can get hazy, especially when national independence is the main goal motivating them. Bose was a revolutionary action-oriented nationalist who disliked liberal democracies and would turn to anyone who seemed likely to support national liberation.
His association with Berlin and Tokyo makes people label him "right-wing" but there's a lot of uncertainty and guesswork involved in such a description. Bose was never attracted by Hitler's racial views and didn't feel at ease in Berlin. He literally made his way to Berlin through Moscow, and perhaps figuratively as well.
