Winston Churchill ignored pleas for emergency food aid for millions in Bengal left to starve as their rice paddies were turned over for sandbag production.
Three million Indians died of hunger in 1943.
Churchill said Britain can't spare ships to transport emergency supplies as the streets of Calcutta filled with starving villagers from the surrounding countryside but ministry records and personal papers reveal ships carrying cereals from Australia bypassed India on their way to the Mediterranean where food was already abundant.
United States and Australia offered to send help but couldn't because Churchill refused to release ships. And when the US offered to send grain on its own ships, that offer was not followed up by Churchill.
Churchill's 'racism' was blamed for his refusal to intervene.
Churchill derided Gandhi as a "half-naked holy man" and once said: "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."
why dont u go dig him out of his grave and sentence him to death?
Just demand an apology and compensation on behalf of the Banglas can lah.

Racism is everywhere. Just like when your parents objected to your decision to marry an indian girl from Bangalore.
Out of curiousity, what colour is your current or preferred girlfriend/wife?
Do you know how many indians died of hunger before the War?
If you had the figures, then maybe you will think thrice about creating this hoo-hah. ![]()

I can contribute to the President Star Charity, but I did not.

Am I therefore a murderer for not contributing?

you never read article ah ? the farmers' rice fields were turned over to theBrits for sandbag production so no crops and the Brits refused to feed the Indians with food from Australia.
Link to the article.
Why use padi field mud for sand bags?
Did they do the same in Malaya?
If you think that Churchill prejudice toward Indian is bad enough, you have not heard the worst story about him yet. Do you know that during World War 2 when France has fallen to Germany, in order to prevent French 's combat asset fell into Germany hand, especially the French Navy, Churchill ordered his Royal Navy to destroy the France -his "allies" Navy force, despite promise made before by France Navy top-bass. Admiral François Darlan that the France 'S fleet would not fall into German hands.
Anyway Churchill did sent an ultimatum to French Navy before to either surrender and destroy their fleet or sent them to USA, but the French refused to bargain and therefore it led to the ill-fated British Royal Navy attack to French battleship HMS Ark Royal, this event is known as "Battle of Mers-el-Kébir," and the whole French fleet was sunk and numerous french sailor was killed because at first they welcome the British Navy force in their port, only to be "back-stabbed" by them later when the ultimation reached them.
Surprisely however, Churchill "war crime" against it own allies was approved by the Britain Parliment even after the attack and was even support by the overall general public itself.Although of course the survivors of HMS Ark Royal still had grudge against Churchill 's action until today as they feel this attack was totally unnecessary.In fact even after the Battle of Mers-el-Kébir, the french did successfully destroyed their remaining fleet before the Germany arrive in France.

And the moral of the story ? "What millions died that Caesar might be great" or "一将��万骨枯".
