Chapter 196 India on the Tightrope

When it comes to women's rights, Pesik-Lawrence obviously talks more. It's not like he is sparing his words when mentioning Indian affairs, because he really understands women's rights.

Of course, Alan Wilson did not forget the other two ministers, Business Secretary Staff Cripps and Admiralty Minister Alexander. For example, Business Secretary Staff Cripps has long had very deep connections in the aristocratic circles in London.

of.

Alexander, the Minister of the Admiralty, was much more concerned about Indian affairs, and the questions he asked were all related to the current situation in British India. Alan Wilson did not delay any of them, and gave explanations to all the issues that the three ministers were concerned about.

.

Of course, it is undeniable that Alan Wilson's main focus was still on Perthick-Lawrence, because Perthick-Lawrence was the Secretary of State for India and the nominal head of the British Indian Civil Service.

The original trajectories of these three Labor politicians, except for the Lord of the Admiralty, who has long worked in the navy, Perthick-Lawrence and Staff Cripps, have little to do with their current departments.

However, the fact that the three people came to British India is enough to illustrate the importance that the Labor government attached to British India.

Out of selfish motives, Alan Wilson's reception work was inevitably focused on his immediate superiors. He had no choice but to ask an expert in protecting women's rights, the current Minister of Indian Affairs, to comment on the brewing New Cultural Movement.

It's useful.

Although Pesik-Lawrence is good at protecting women's rights, it does not mean that he cannot deceive in this regard. In fact, it is not deception. It is precisely because of Pesik-Lawrence's expertise in women's rights that it is possible for Allen to achieve this goal.

Wilson's purpose.

Because Pesik-Lawrence itself has benefited from many benefits to protect women's rights, this reminded Alan Wilson of one thing, that is, how the caste system laws emerged.

Although the caste system has existed in the subcontinent for a long time, there is no law to legalize this system. In fact, the caste system was written into the law by the British.

The British Lord Chancellor seriously believed that a law should be formulated for India that suited India's national conditions.

So after learning about the caste system, he asked for a caste survey across India. After the official intervention in the survey, there were almost thousands of castes, and survey results from all over the country continued to be sent to him. He felt a headache, so he directly classified the listed castes.

come out.

When Britain wanted to add the caste system to the law for the first time, it said that this was a move that was in line with India's national conditions. Will Indians object to this?

Of course not, because the assistants to the chief judges of British India were all high castes in India, either Brahmins or Kshatriyas. Of course, these high castes cheered for this, and even eliminated many obstacles to the promulgation of the law.

Therefore, whether it is moral or not, Perthick-Lawrence will definitely support the protection of women's rights, even if it is implemented in British India, because this is in line with Perthick-Lawrence's own interests.

After a long journey, the train carrying three local ministers arrived in New Delhi. This relied on the developed railway network of British India. To be honest, the current British Indian Railways are much stronger than the Indian Railways. At least the current Indian Railways are still better.

relatively new.

After arriving in New Delhi, the Governor-General of India immediately arranged a welcome ceremony, and then announced the arrival of three local ministers in New Delhi, preparing to listen carefully to the voices of all walks of life in British India and propose solutions.

As soon as the news came out, people from all walks of life in British India cheered. It seemed that starting from 1946, with the end of the war, all the Indians saw was good news. London finally paid attention to the voice of the Indian people.

In fact, things are not that simple. After the three ministers met with representatives of the Congress Party, Muslim League and other forces, the three of Pesik-Lawrence understood that the situation in British India was indeed very complicated.

What Alan Wilson said on the train that there was a raging undercurrent in British India was definitely not a lie. It is hard to say how long the current method of deflecting conflicts can confuse the Indians.

One person must be mentioned first, and that is Ali Jinnah. The current Ali Jinnah is indeed a paranoid racist, who firmly believes that peaceful believers must not live in the same country as Hindus.

But in his early years, Ali Jinnah was a relatively firm nationalist. This transformation of Ali Jinnah was largely related to the attitudes and practices of Gandhi and the Congress Party under his leadership towards him and the Muslim League. Ali Jinnah

Jinnah entered Indian politics before Gandhi and had a greater influence.

He has advocated Indian nationalism on many occasions, and advocated unity and cooperation between Hinduism and the Peace Religion. Although he was born a Peace Christian, he joined the Congress Party in his early years and served as the secretary of the party chairman Naoroji, drafting speeches for him.

In his speech, he called on all Indian people, regardless of creed or class, to unite. The true unity of the two major religions is necessary for the liberation of all Indians.

Without this unity, all efforts for liberation will be in vain. During the First World War, Ali Jinnah had been working on the unity of the two major religions.

Ali Jinnah's Muslim League was originally just one of the larger political groups of the Peace Religion, and its strength was relatively limited.

However, with the subsequent transformation of the Congress Party, the Muslim League and the Congress Party began to part ways. Gandhi is a standard Hindu image. The influence of traditional Hinduism can be seen in Gandhi's abstinence, ahimsa, hunger strike, and non-violent behavior.

Although the use of religious symbols and rituals inspired the traditional Hindu masses in the freedom movement, it failed to win the sympathy of peaceful believers.

Under the leadership of Gandhi, the Congress Party increasingly presented itself as a Hindu. For this reason, Gandhi proposed that Ali Jinnah withdraw from the Congress Party. This had a huge impact on Ali Jinnah's understanding of the unity of the two major religions.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the 1937 elections in British India, Ali Jinnah proposed the formation of a coalition government. However, the Congress Party, which won due to the numerical advantage of Hindus,

Rejected Ali Jinnah's suggestion.

The Congress Party repeatedly rejected Ali Jinnah, and finally allowed this leader of the Peace Religion, who entered politics earlier than Gandhi, to begin to only care about the feelings of the Peace Religionists. The Muslim League under his leadership quickly integrated with all the Peace Religionists.

It became the second national political party in British India.

Moreover, when leaders like Chandra Bose emerged in the Congress Party and defected to the Axis Powers, Ali Jinnah firmly supported the Governor-General of British India, expanded his influence, and became a unique spokesperson in the eyes of the peace believers.

.

When the cabinet mission met with the Muslim League and the Congress Party respectively, they realized that the two religions were almost incompatible, but both were pursuing the independence of British India.

What the Muslim League pursues is the establishment of an independent country, while what the Congress Party pursues is taking over all the heritage of British India.

This surprised the three ministers in the cabinet mission. In terms of attitude, the Muslim League was more tough, but in terms of ambition, the Congress Party was obviously better.

After meeting with both political parties, the three of Pesik and Lawrence realized that Alan Wilson was right. The current conflict had not broken out yet, but it was actually a matter of time.

"Except for the amazing agreement between the two parties on the matter of independence, there is no agreement in other aspects. In the eyes of the Muslim League, the Chinese Congress Party is all bastards. Of course, in the eyes of the Congress Party, the same is true for the Muslim League."

Speaking of this, Secretary of Commerce Staff Cripps sighed, "The one with the least disagreement turned out to be the large-scale construction plan for the Kolkata Industrial Area. The Congress Party expressed support, but the Muslim League did not comment on it."

"It can now be concluded that the reports of British India have always been accurate. We have to praise the work of the British Indian civil servants. They are simply dancing on the edge of a cliff." Pesik-Lawrence said to the Secretary of the Navy, Albert Alexander.

, "Alexander, what do you think of this matter? We must admit that we did underestimate the internal contradictions in British India a few days ago when we arrived in India. Now it can be seen that most of the Congress supports the independence of British India and has no intention of retaining the British Empire.

Congressmen who belong to the integrity of India are still a little too optimistic."

"More than being optimistic, judging from the attitude of the Muslim League, they are almost ready for civil war." Alexander shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Why don't we call the person in charge of this matter in the Governor's Mansion to come over and ask."

Not long after, Alan Wilson pushed the door open, then bent slightly to let Sir Barron in, then closed the door and stood behind Sir Barron.

Listening to how the head of the British Indian Civil Service dealt with these three cabinet ministers, I yawned from time to time!

"Alan, you don't seem to have had a good rest?" Pesik Lawrence saw Alan Wilson's abnormality and asked.

"Yesterday I was thinking about the draft bill on how to protect women's rights in India, and I went to bed a little late." Alan Wilson politely answered the question from the British Secretary of State for Indian Affairs.

In fact, Alan Wilson was indeed working, but the most busy thing yesterday was the reasonable conjecture about the nuclear war in ancient India, in order to prove the superiority of ancient Indian civilization.

Of course, this is not suitable for reporting to the three ministers of the cabinet mission in this situation, otherwise it is likely to be regarded as crazy.

When it comes to drafting a draft for women's protection in India, he obviously speaks a lot. And he can also get the approval of Pesik-Lawrence.

"Protecting women's rights is of course important. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Pesik-Lawrence acted like an expert. If two ministers weren't watching from the side, he would have said two things.

sentence.

"It seems that the relationship between the Muslim League and the Congress Party can no longer coexist, is that right?"

"As the ministers can see, this is how it is now." Sir Barron said with an indifferent expression, "Unless a miracle happens."
