The history of Portuguese India predates British India by more than 200 years. What reason did the British have to order the Portuguese to do?
Alan Wilson thought Nehru's idea was so funny. If Britain allowed British India to become independent, would the Portuguese follow suit? Let Britain conquer the whole world and give it to the Indians.
The whole of Pakistan is divided into two parts, one on the east and west sides of India. Mountbatten believed that Pakistan would split sooner or later, and Nehru believed that Pakistan would not exist for a long time and would be unified with India sooner or later, but none of these could stop Ali's determination.
Na.
The Bengal region was also divided into two due to the partition of India and Pakistan, and because of a former assistant commissioner of British India. The situation in Calcutta was much more complicated than at the same time in history.
As early as after the demarcation of the border between India and Pakistan, the entire border was instantly submerged in a sea of blood of staggering scale. Everyone was crazy! Terror against terror, death against death. The newly established Pakistan was also in chaos. Punjab Province
, wars are raging in the North-Western Frontier and Daraa provinces.
There are nearly a million more Rohingyas, and the religious conflicts in Calcutta during the same period in history were several times more brutal. After all, the Rohingyas who had just been dared to come out by the Burmese did not want to be displaced again.
The Rohingya problem is only part of it, and there is another part that should not have caused much trouble. That is Bangladeshi nationalism.
Of course, this is also related to Alan Wilson. Before the withdrawal of the British troops in India, there was news that the partition of India and Pakistan would destroy the integrity of the Bangladeshi nation and prevent Bangladesh, the richest and most united country, from becoming the dominant force in India. In the Bengal region
It has been widely disseminated and has had a certain impact.
This cannot be said to be wrong. In fact, the first time the British felt the wealth of British India was the impression left by the Bengalis. When Bengal was occupied, Governor Clive found a considerable amount of money in the treasury of the kingdom that had been destroyed that year.
With a fortune of fifty-eight million pounds, this was in 1753.
It was precisely because of the wealth of Bengal that the British determined to occupy the entire subcontinent and worked hard for this goal in the next hundred years.
Bangladesh ranks second in population in the subcontinent and has an overwhelming advantage in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges. It would be a pity not to take advantage of it, so before the British withdrew, they began to spread the conspiracy theory that the partition of India and Pakistan was to disintegrate the Bengali people.
Calcutta, where Gandhi is currently heading, was the center of vendetta in the Northeast after the partition of India and Pakistan.
Because of the overwhelming number of Hindus in the subcontinent, Nehru still kept Calcutta and part of Punjab within the territory of India.
This is where Gandhi is approaching step by step, in the northeastern center where religious vendetta has just ended. The two major sects just keep their hatred in their hearts, and there are also a large number of Bengali nationalists.
The entire northeastern India is like a volcano that has erupted and is still in the aftermath. On the one hand, there is the flame of revenge of this sect, and on the other hand, there is the anxiety about the upcoming conflict.
Once a large-scale conflict breaks out again, the entire Kolkata will be reduced to ashes.
Of course, before all this happened, Mountbatten had already resigned as Governor-General, completed his work and was preparing to return to the country for his birthday. This had been planned a long time ago, and the leaders of India and Pakistan would have to deal with the rest.
Bar.
He made efforts when he was in New Delhi, but no one on both sides listened to him. Now that he is gone, everything in the subcontinent has nothing to do with him. Let’s see if the Congress Party and the Muslim League can come up with a more constructive approach after the British leave.
, solve the problem that has begun to break out.
After arriving in Calcutta, Gandhi stayed. In the evening, several Hindu youths stood outside and shouted: "Gandhi, you are a traitor! Protect Hindus, not peaceful believers! Gandhi, go back!"
Gandhi pushed open the door and explained his philosophy. He hoped that the two major sects would be harmonious. Once the conflict resumed, it would only destroy Calcutta until a few Hindu youths left.
Gandhi announced another hunger strike in Calcutta until the religious war was extinguished. Gandhi went on sixteen hunger strikes for various causes, two of which lasted three weeks. He almost died on several occasions. Although he was old,
, but it is worth risking your life for thousands of innocent people.
This time was different from usual. As soon as I started the hunger strike, my body's functions reacted greatly. My physical strength declined, I became dizzy, and at midnight, I couldn't even speak. The news quickly spread throughout Calcutta like wings.
Anxious crowds visited and walked out of the house, all condemning the violence.
It seems that Gandhi once again stopped the sectarian conflict in Calcutta with the spirit of non-violence. He is the only one in the whole of India who has this kind of prestige, but Gandhi should not have thought that this would be his last hunger strike in his life.
Religious vendetta has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths from the two major sects. Under such circumstances, Gandhi also used the same tactics he used against the British colonial government to deal with India?
It's not that it has no effect, but while many people are deeply moved, there are also a large number of people who are disgusted with Gandhi's behavior. They are Indians, not British, so naturally they don't have the scruples of the British.
In the eyes of many Hindus, sectarian conflicts have caused such a large death toll, yet Gandhi is still calling for peace. This is almost a betrayal of Hinduism. In addition, the news that Gandhi once hoped that Jinnah would lead India has been widely spread, making these
People were extremely angry and believed that Gandhi was a traitor.
Finally, a law that Alan Wilson was very familiar with appeared in the hearts of these Hindus. Heretics are more hateful than heretics. In the eyes of these people, Gandhi, who represented Hinduism, called for peace and was more hateful than peaceful believers.
Not to mention that there are some peaceful believers who are hostile to Gandhi. His ideas are no longer as easy to impress after India's independence as they were when British India still existed.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After India's independence, Gandhi's speech was no longer as popular as it was when British India still existed. On the contrary, because of the suppression of religious conflicts, Gandhi's speech was for the first time
I heard slogans to kill Gandhi, but it was Hindus who made such calls.
His words have lost their magic and non-violence is in tatters. Before the partition of India and Pakistan, the Muslim League regarded him as their number one enemy, saying that this scheming man wanted to pass themselves off as their friend, but now the Hindus call him the number one peacemaker.
Christians say that Gandhi was a traitor who was infiltrated into Hinduism by peaceful believers. His name should not have been Mohandas Gandhi, but Muhammad Gandhi.
Now that the country is independent, no one has the patience to listen to the chatter of an old and useless person. The Hindus feel that they have control over the situation in the subcontinent and there is no need to pretend to be harmonious.
Most of the peaceful believers were still hostile to him as always. I wonder if Gandhi at this time thought of the situation when British India was still there, where everyone responded to him?
The top leaders of the Congress Party who followed Gandhi during the British India era have just passed a resolution refusing to give Pakistan its due share on financial issues. Anyway, Mountbatten has left, and the British troops stationed in India are also withdrawing.
There was no need for them to abide by their previous agreement, not to mention that the vendetta had already resulted in the death of many people.
Taking a step back, wouldn't it be nice to keep this money for a cocktail party and buy a luxury car?
Just two days after Gandhi went on a hunger strike, Gandhi was praying with people on the lawn outside his residence as usual. While he was delivering a speech to the believers, a bomb exploded next to him. People were panicked, but
Gandhi continued to speak.
At this time, a strong young man squeezed out of the crowd, pushed away the two girls beside Gandhi, and knelt at the feet of the Mahatma, as if to show respect to Gandhi.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly straightened up, knocked Manu over with one palm, took out his pistol, pointed the cold muzzle at the Mahatma's naked chest, and fired three shots in a row. Two bullets penetrated Gandhi's body.
Another bullet penetrated Gandhi's lung. The red blood dyed Gandhi's white land red.
Bang bang, accompanied by a flash of camera shutter sound, a middle-aged man in a suit put the U.S. Meritorious Service Medal for Intelligence on the chest of Allen Wilson, and did not forget to say, "Thank you, Mr. Allen, for your support during the war.
The early warning issued by the United States, our Mr. Allen, also admires you, Mr. Allen, and expresses his gratitude for your work during the war."
"It is so gratifying to be recognized by American allies." Allen Wilson beamed with joy and expressed his welcome to the American allies who arrived in Newfoundland. As for the Mr. Allen the other party said was Allen Dulles, the U.S. Foreign Affairs Council
Director, the de facto head of U.S. intelligence.
"Mr. Allen, you are very polite. If we had paid attention to the intelligence you provided at that time, the Pearl Harbor incident might not have happened." Hillencott, who had just awarded Allen Wilson the Medal, said with a smile on his face, "As a Navy man, I have a deep respect for Pearl Harbor."
I express my condolences to the victims of the Hong Kong incident. My current job is to learn from the intelligence agencies of allied countries and promote each other to improve their professionalism."
"Respected Major General is so humble." Alan Wilson sincerely praised, "I believe that with our British experience and the financial support of the United States, cooperation in the field of intelligence will be successful. We are countries with a special relationship. At this time
We are also facing a common enemy."
"Mr. Allen is right!" Hillencott nodded in approval, "Protecting the free world requires the joint efforts of the United Kingdom and the United States."
I really hope you are telling the truth! Listening to what the other party said was obviously a lie, Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on Philby. This should be a classic scene, but it is a pity that no newspaper dared to report it.
