After the first social beating of these college students who had just stepped out of campus and entered the society, Alan Wilson continued, "Since the British entered South Asia, the Hyderabad state has always appeared as an ally of our British. As early as the sea
When Hyderabad was still called Nizam, it helped us defeat the Maratha Empire. In the three Maratha Wars, Hyderabad sent troops to help the expeditionary force achieve decisive victories, and the same was true in the four Mysore Wars.
.Even after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, our relationship with Hyderabad has been harmonious to this day."
After the Indian Uprising, British India no longer aimed at cannibalization and annexation. It can be said that the Indian princes at that time joined the Indian Uprising and achieved their goals to some extent. Of course, the biggest beneficiary was the naval forces that had always appeared as British allies.
Hyderabad State, after the Maratha and Mysore local forces that were stronger than Hyderabad were eliminated, Hyderabad became the most powerful remaining Indian prince.
Before that, the East India Company's operation was to cause trouble for these princely states, confiscate their land on the pretext that they had no heirs, or find some other excuse to annex the land of these princely states and manage them directly.
This method is very similar to the reform of the land to the locals in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are trying every means to bring the land of these princely states under the management of the East India Company. After the great Indian uprising, the reform of the land to the locals was considered
stopped, forming the current pattern of more than 500 feudal states in South Asia.
Before leaving, Alan Wilson, who had just entered the British civil service and was still a rookie, gave some profound ideological education to his assistants who were even more rookies than himself. In a sense, the Hyderabad Commissioner was a
Advisor, in front of Mir Osman Ali Khan, he is not qualified to pretend to be a Celestial Dragon.
If in a normal period, the Hyderabad Commissioner is almost no different from a dispatch, and can be easily ignored in front of the Hyderabad monarch, and London will not be dissatisfied with a commissioner being ignored, and it will not be the most powerful person in British India today.
How about the feudal monarchs, but it is different now, at least Alan Wilson thinks it is different.
The British were indeed superior to others in British India, but when it came to distinguishing between them, class and national boundaries were not completely unbreakable.
It was already 1945, and Alan Wilson had no clever plan to help British India continue to exist. It was not that he had not thought of it at all, but it was all in his dreams.
At this sensitive point in time, Britain's withdrawal from South Asia is the general trend. He believes that there are still many things he can do, whether it is from the perspective of private interests or from a larger scope to play a positive role. As for the process, there may be small
The sacrifice requires the great Indian people to be more tolerant.
Even his cheap father, due to a slight change in history, became the person responsible for the Great Famine in Bengal. At this level where the situation of Indians is getting worse, it would be useless for Alan Wilson to work harder.
There were only a few days left before taking office in Hyderabad. As the newly appointed Commissioner of Hyderabad, Alan Wilson did not show respect to the huge people of British India as he said, but turned around and planned a plan.
route.
"That city along the Ganges is densely populated and has certain industrial facilities?"
Sir Barron was stunned by Alan Wilson's question. Why did this young man ask such a meaningless question when he was not in a hurry to go to Hyderabad to take up the post?
"The Central Province and the United Provinces are the most densely populated places in South Asia." Sir Barron replied in confusion, "Alan, why are you asking about this? Hyderabad is in South India."
"Sir Barron, I'm just calculating which route is suitable." Alan Wilson replied with a chuckle. In fact, this was just his selfish intention. He just wanted to see the true scenery of the Ganges. Is it as unsightly as it would be in later generations?
, are there any various pollutants and corpses inside?
This was also for the sake of the British Empire. Although he did not know the public opinion in the United Kingdom during the independence process of British India, according to common sense, the United Kingdom, which is still the world's three giants, must have public opinion against allowing India to become independent.
Rebounded.
If this kind of backlash of public opinion is to be eliminated, Allen has a trick that is not very popular. He thinks of the famous floating corpses in the Ganges River in later generations. That set of photos is not only famous in China, but also widely circulated in countries around the world.
.
If we look at it from the perspective of cultural attack, the set of photos of corpses floating in the Ganges have almost trampled the dignity of all Indians underfoot. Together with the importance of the Ganges in Hinduism, it has almost brought huge negative impact to the country of India.
Influence.
Together with the Indian rape and toilet topics that fermented a few years later, the whole of India was nailed to the pillar of shame.
In this way, after British India lost control, Alan Wilson could use the information collected to make local British public opinion more acceptable and win this public opinion war.
As long as it is shown that it is not that Great Britain is incompetent, but that India's mud cannot support the wall, and that Britain really cannot continue to waste time in that cesspit, it will give the British people a psychological comfort, and it will be difficult to accept the independence of India from a moral level.
Unfortunately, until Alan Wilson set out, he still did not find the scene he wanted in the upper reaches of the Ganges. Fortunately, there were still two years to go, so Alan was not particularly anxious.
When Alan Wilson left New Delhi and got on the train, he officially started his career as a civil servant. Before he arrived in Hyderabad, he had already memorized the information of the local monarch Mir Osman Ali Khan in his heart.
Ali Khan was thin and with a shriveled physique. He did not look like a rich man no matter how he looked. He was also famous for his "thrift and thrift". He only wore one fez hat in his life, and he usually wore tattered baggy trousers.
Every time he ate, he licked the plate clean. His bedroom couldn't be called a bedroom at all. There were wastepaper baskets everywhere and a straw mat in the middle. However, he was such a stingy person to himself.
, but he is truly the richest man in the world.
Although some people are extremely wealthy, they show that they don't love wealth much. Alan Wilson is not who he is. If you don't love money, you can like other things. From Ali Khan's later experience, he knew that this monarch of Hyderabad,
In fact, we understand very well that all wealth is based on power, and we try every means to make Hyderabad independent.
But in the end, he was unable to defeat Nehru, the leader of the Congress Party, and the independence attempt was finally crushed. After all, Mir Osman Ali Khan was a peaceful believer. If his kingdom and Kashmir were exchanged, the outcome would be much better.
Before arriving in Hyderabad, before leaving North India, Alan Wilson and his party had to stop at a train station for a day. After making inquiries, they found out that there was a fight between local peace believers and Hindus.
