  • May some actually believed it would be a positive choice?

    Like, you guys only have two major choices, right? What else can you electorally rather than alternate between them, if you find one lacking. Or you could try to build/back a third party, but when the current status quo is based on the two party system, you mau have to wait for sometime to wait for the 3rd one to grow.











  • Famines are never going to be pretty, right?
    I have seen pictures online of the Bengal and Mangalore famines that India suffered under British rule.

    My doubt on it is how much of it is natural and how much is intentional.
    What do those historians say about that?

    I have seen people arguing and discussing about it online, with everything ranging from intentional punishment to bureaucratic inefficiency to feudal farmlords burning their produce and animals during the famine to how famines were common in the region until the 1950’s and also mentions of grain export

    Also, which part of India, if you don’t mind?

    Southern India
    Are you Indian too? Which part?


  • Overall positive.

    I’ve heard that he supported the development of India. As an Indian, positive view here.

    After joining lemmy, seeing arguments about him, got to know that he faced personal losses too, with his son, a soldier in the WW2, dying in a Nazi concentration camp as a PoW.

    Have read that there were purges of officials and repression in fear of Nazi and other spies and that excesses did happen under his govt.
    But considering how they were able to reduce poverty and were able to industrialise their nation, making them able to fight the Nazis, I see them overall positively.

    Have heard about the famine too. But not sure if it was purposeful like how Churchill took away foodgrains from Bengal. So negative view on it, but not sure how to see it. Whether it is intentional or natural cause or inefficiency.

    How do you feel about Hitler?
