"If you are very familiar with the feminist movement, this is very related to the New Culture Movement that you advocate. Ellen!" John's hand holding the wine glass stagnated slightly, and said with a knowing smile, "This might become your
of help.”
Alan Wilson looked thoughtful, as if, probably, as if, what the Junagadh commissioner in front of him said made sense.
Although Perthick-Lawrence, as the Minister of Indian Affairs, can be said to be a layman, he is good at advocating for women's rights. If he can guide him well, he may be able to help the New Culture Movement.
Although Alan Wilson has not come into contact with the feminists of this era, and does not know what they are thinking. However, in British India, even if you are not a feminist, you are still qualified to make comments.
"It seems that I should work harder." Alan Wilson picked up the wine glass with understanding and touched it with the Commissioner of Junagadh. He ignored the matter and asked about his recent work, especially
This is how the princes of the princely states in various places view the British India construction plan recently.
Of course, the Congress Party welcomes it, but the Muslim League only verbally opposes it. So what is the attitude of the long-time allies of the British Empire and the various princely states.
"Salaman Khan did not show any inclination. After all, this matter has nothing to do with the princely states. But Allen, are you not afraid that this move will lead to an imbalance in the balance of power? Once the construction of the Calcutta Industrial Zone is completed, the relationship between the province and the princely states will
The balance of strength will become even more unbalanced." John frowned and said, "Of course I have no intention of objecting to this, after all, the country needs this project."
Is it a contrast imbalance or a rebalancing? It’s not necessarily what it will turn out to be in the end!
However, Alan Wilson cannot say that the Muslim League will definitely collapse if it is present in the Calcutta Industrial Area. If word spreads, wouldn't it be unfair to the vast number of peaceful believers in British India?
Alan Wilson cannot do this. As a pure Assistant Commissioner, he must ensure that everything is fair, especially the interests of minorities. This is in line with the British tradition in the subcontinent.
However, this dinner was still fruitful. Without John's reminder, Alan Wilson would not have thought that he would get support in the field where the Indian Affairs Secretary was good at.
Before World War I, the British feminist movement was mainly about fighting for political suffrage. Due to the development of the British Industrial Revolution, more women participated in industrial labor and social activities, and first launched a movement to fight for political rights.
At the same time, the "Women's Suffrage League" led by Mrs. Fawcett opposed the use of violence in political movements and advocated the adoption of legal methods of struggle, believing that only in this way can the goal of obtaining women's suffrage be achieved.
The current Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, Perthick Lawrence, is amazing at this point. He even knows various women's rights activists from before World War I to the present, and is a complete expert in liberating women.
Only God knows how Pesik Lawrence became the current Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, but Alan Wilson, who is waiting in Bombay, is already ready to talk to the Secretary of Indian Affairs about the issue of women's liberation. As long as there is this British India
With the approval of the top leaders, after the cabinet delegation leaves, it can be launched with great fanfare, and it will be well-known.
On February 18, the cabinet delegation headed by Sir Perthick Lawrence, the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, finally arrived at Bombay, the best port city in British India, after a long and tiring journey.
Long before Pesik-Lawrence arrived in British India, all walks of life in British India were very much looking forward to the trip of the cabinet mission. Different from history, the Bombay Sailors' Rebellion did not happen.
Since Alan Wilson arrived in British India, propaganda has undergone tremendous changes. Propaganda requires different emphasis in different places. Taking British India as an example, it is not possible to teach science to a broad illiterate population.
The Assistant Commissioner, who was inspired by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, felt that he had found the wealth code of British India. In the final analysis, it can be said that our India is amazing!
Based on the Mahabharata, a number of remarks that seem very anti-intellectual but will definitely be accepted by the illiterate group of Hindus are concocted, including but not limited to, "plastic surgery" existed in ancient India,
Ganesha was created by someone using plastic surgery to transplant an elephant's head onto a human body. And Indians had already invented airplanes.
It is not enough to be anti-intellectual. Some real contributions must be added to it to achieve the effect of making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The first person in the world to propose the heliocentric theory - from the "Ariyavitha". The most famous medical works are "Salaka Collection" and "Miaowen Collection", which are the earliest herbal books in history.
Buddhist scriptures say that things only exist for one moment, and will be replaced by a copy of themselves in the next moment. This is similar to the frame-by-frame playback of current film technology.
So, according to Alan Wilson, India is so awesome, this is the ironclad proof that India invented cinema.
Starting from the New Year, newspapers that have always been controlled by the hostile Governor-General of British India have seen a huge increase in sales, and have even caused a trend of Indian newspapers from all over the country. They are good at finding certain similar records in modern society from ancient classics, so as to
This proves the greatness of ancient India.
At this time, the so-called sober people are traitors in the eyes of many Indians. Even though our India is so great, some people just have low self-esteem.
As for how the peaceful believers view the performance of the Hindus, this is not something Alan Wilson can speculate on.
After the cabinet mission led by Pesik Lawrence arrived in Mumbai, they were warmly welcomed by the citizens of Mumbai. The number of welcomed citizens was close to 200,000. It is difficult to imagine that at the same time in real history, the same 200,000 citizens of Mumbai were marching
Supported the Bombay Sailors' Revolt.

.
"It seems that Sir Barron was right in what he said in the telegram. The situation in British India is very peaceful now. But why are there always soldiers mutinying?" Pesik Lawrence said to Alan Wilson who came to greet him.
asked.
"Dear Minister, this is not a contradiction." Alan Wilson pondered the organizational language and said, "The current real situation in British India is indeed that dangers and opportunities coexist. All we can do is try to prevent things from becoming irreversible.
The outcome was to allow British India to contribute as much as possible to the British, but no one knows how much time it will have to support the mainland."
"There are always reports of mutinies among soldiers. It is because these Indian soldiers and the British Empire are no longer of the same mind. Although there is no mutiny that spreads uncontrollably, the danger is there, and we don't know when it will happen."
"As for the attitudes of the two largest forces, the Congress Party and the Muslim League, I can only tell the minister the true situation before meeting with the leaders of the two forces." Faced with the Indian Minister Pesik Lawrence, Alan Wilson
Introducing the current real situation in British India, "It is difficult to say what is the specific difference between the two parties, because they are consistent in their pursuit of independence, but they are temporarily blinded by the large-scale construction plan."
"In other words, in the long run, British India will inevitably become independent?" Pesik-Lawrence lowered his voice and asked in a solemn tone, "Is it really inevitable?"
"I think the minister will know it when he meets Nehru and Ali Jinnah, and his attitude is much more resolute than what I said." Alan Wilson said helplessly, "At present, we are just constantly releasing news to attract the attention of ordinary people.
Attention has caused most Indians to fall into fake news, but it is really hard to say how long this method can last?”
Pesik-Lawrence became interested and asked Alan Wilson what the specific method was. Then he regretted it and insisted that our Indian assistant commissioner said that India invented the telephone, invented movies, and invented airplanes.
Multiple religions emerged at the same time, leading the world in mind and soul.
Pesik-Lawrence was shocked. It was hard to imagine that Alan Wilson, who had just behaved very well, would say such anti-intellectual words. This was not the first time he had met Alan Wilson. He was in the Indian Affairs Department building in London.
I met this civil servant who was about to return to British India. Alan Wilson at that time was well behaved and impressive. How could he become like this?
"The Indians believe it too?" Pesik-Lawrence asked in disbelief, "What are they thinking in their heads?"
"Many Indians don't even know that they are alive, so it is not surprising that such simple thinking leads to such wishful thinking." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "The effect is very good. India's glorious history has been
It has resonated with many Indians, but in the long run, it will only make Indians more swollen, and the short-term effect will only make life more difficult in the future."
But now there is no good way except to divert the conflict. The paper framer, Alan, has tried his best. Perhaps knowing that the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs did not like to hear this topic, Alan Wilson turned to talk about something lighter.
things
After a while, it slowly shifted to a topic that Pesik-Lawrence was very knowledgeable about, the liberation of women.
"Is Allen also interested in protecting women's rights?" Pesik-Lawrence was indeed interested. He is good at this topic.
"From Paris to Bonn, and then to British India, my love for women has always been with me." Alan Wilson looked solemn and replied righteously.
