Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low caliber and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.”
India is merely a geographical expression. It is no more a single country than the equator.
-Winston Churchill
A man who I would, at least in the context above, consider down right stupid, and devoid of foresight - and what can be a more egregious reminder of the tyranny of his ineptitude - in handling India than the foregoing quote. But of course, he is believed in England to be the hero of the War and key in bringing Hitler down. I am also not too sure, if this so called victory over Hitler could have been achieve without the active participation of India on the side of England in the war.
A man who did his utmost in keeping India maimed and minioned for as long as possible is described as the principal proponent of free world by David Cameroon. But positions can be so divergent due to distinctive standpoints that sometimes it is impossible to make sense out of them.
