Not to mention Sikkim and Bhutan, they are both on the edge of the South Asian subcontinent. As the largest princely state in South Asia, Hyderabad occupies the center of the Deccan Plateau and is a place that the prosperous North India must control.
Only then can we suppress South India, which spends most of its time outside the control of North India.
The gap between the north and the south of British India is much wider than that of China. The Tamil people in south India have established countries several times. Except for the Hindu faith, there is nothing in common between north and south India.
If Alan Wilson had been in Nehru's position, it would have been impossible to acquiesce that Hyderabad would continue to be independent.
"Now let's talk about it. If according to Ali Jinnah's idea, the two major religions respectively occupy the majority of their respective religions and establish independent states. Dear Maharaja, if I use a simple religious division, you should definitely be leaning towards Ali Jinnah.
Right?" Alan Wilson noted Ali Khan's status as a pacifist.
Ali Khan nodded and said without concealing this, "If there are only these two choices, of course I will choose Ali Jinnah."
"This is going to be difficult!" Out of a pragmatic attitude, Alan Wilson gave Ali Khan a pessimistic analysis, "Nehru would not let the Hyderabad state maintain the status quo, and the Maharaja controlled the sea
The state of Hyderabad is far away from the northwest provinces of the same religion and from Bengal in the northeast. According to the worst-case analysis, religious wars will occur in South Asia, and you will be under siege by Hindus.
It is too far to get rescue from other peace believers."
Alan Wilson used practice to prove that there is no worst, only worse. He continued in front of the silent Ali Khan, "In the state of Hyderabad, Hindus account for 80%, and peaceful believers are an absolute minority. Once Neh
It is really difficult to incite Hindus to resort to referendums or find reasons in other ways. One more thing, the situation faced by the Junagadh state under this kind of deduction is similar to that of Hyderabad state.
.”
The Junagadh princely state is located on the Kathiawar Peninsula in India, covering an area of about 50,000 square kilometers. The situation of this princely state is similar to that of Hyderabad. More than 80% of the residents are Hindus, and the monarch is a peace believer.
Later, the king of the princely state decided to join Pakistan, but the residents of the princely state firmly opposed it and rioted. The monarch fled to Pakistan, and then India took over the power of the princely state.
Kashmir, which later caused the India-Pakistan war, was just the opposite. The king was a Hindu and most of the residents were peaceful believers. Kashmir eventually became the trigger for the India-Pakistan war.
Before the British withdrew, the problem of the princely states was more than just a Kashmir issue. The princely states of Hyderabad and Junagadh all had the same problems as Kashmir. In the end, only one mine was exploded in Kashmir. This was Nehru's good skill.
.
Having said that, after independence, India is not prepared to talk to Pakistan at all. If the monarch is a pacifist, then the majority of the Hindus will be voted in. If the monarch is a Hindu, it means respecting the opinions of the princes. What's yours is mine.
It's still mine.
This attitude was applied to everything that India valued, and it continues to be this attitude into the twenty-first century.
"Will it be divided according to Ali Jinnah's wishes? London can definitely continue to rule South Asia." After thinking about it, Ali Khan couldn't help but said irritably, "It can continue to maintain London's rule. Isn't Prime Minister Churchill the same attitude?"
Alan Wilson was silent, unable to answer this question. It cannot be said that the earth has changed its owner. Now the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union has exceeded that of the British aristocracy. If the United Kingdom wants to maintain its rule in South Asia, it will definitely not be defeated by the United States.
The Soviet Union and the Soviet Union allowed it, and the two countries would not look at Britain as if it was slowly using British India to recover its strength after the First World War.
After World War I, Britain's strength was still there, and it was still in the same category as the United States. At that time, the United States did not dare to risk the fate of its country and fight the British Empire with all its strength, and could only return to the Americas to continue isolationism.
Today is different from the past. The strength of the United States has surpassed that of the United Kingdom. It will definitely not be like after World War I, when Britain and France jointly boycotted it and acquiesced to the fact. During the Suez Canal War, Britain and France jointly summoned the majesty of old imperialism, and what happened in the end?
What happened? We were jointly threatened by the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time!
But as the Commissioner of the British Empire in Hyderabad, Alan Wilson cannot say that Britain can no longer maintain its military presence in South Asia. So where does the British Empire put its face?
After much deliberation, he came up with the judgment of the liberal imperialists in London and said, "Now the Indian people generally have the idea of independence, and protests and riots are happening one after another. The annual gains from British India can no longer offset the impact on British India's operations.
Expenses, London doesn’t do money-losing business.”
Alan Wilson himself did not believe this. Although this kind of voice has existed for a long time, if it can continue to rule South Asia, who will take the noise seriously? Even the rebellious United States can do this while protesting against reactionary wars while continuing the war.
of proficiency.
Pretending that London must respect public opinion and answering the Hyderabad monarch's rhetorical questions did not mean that he, the Hyderabad Commissioner, was not prepared to do nothing before British India was about to become independent.
Ali Khan has billions of dollars in property. As long as he is given a small amount of this as a commissioner, it is an amount that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime. Although Alan Wilson has dug up the Golden Temple in India, who can have too much money?
Woolen cloth?
Furthermore, Alan Wilson had reasons to cause trouble for India, both in his past and present lives. Let’s not mention the past life. The partition of India and Pakistan must be based on the interests of Hindus in the overall environment. This cannot be changed.
Because from a larger macro perspective, from the Strait of Gibraltar all the way to Indonesia, there is a broad world of Peace Cults. Looking at the world map, it is clear at a glance that India after independence is an important link in cutting off the connections with the Peace Cult world.
If, on the other hand, South Asia after independence appears as the leader of the Peace Cult, the important cornerstone that cut off the Peace Cult world will no longer exist. The small countries in Indochina will not be able to resist the crushing of the Peace Cult. Therefore, the majority of the population is Hindu.
The emergence of India is a good thing for the current world situation.
In turn, after independence, India may become the leader of the peace religion world, which is a bad thing for any big country. You must know that the current outbreak in Europe started by completely trampling the peace religion world under its feet in the Middle East.
He believed that even the Soviet Union and other countries that thought like the Soviet Union wanted India to shoulder the responsibility of cutting off the Peace Sect.
