    Your claim that the British committed genocide by organising a drought in the middle of WW2 is risable. Its cheap historic revisionism, utterly ignoring what was happening at that time.

    You throw up a picture of people affected by famine & tack “British empire” on the end to get attention.

    This exact same thing was posted on reddit weekly, but I guess the blinding similarities are pure coincidence.

      The British, historically known for never having committed horrible and inhuman atrocities throughout the world and treating India with exploitation and contempt.

        Bullshit, its about screaming genocide & murdering millions which is just a complete historical & factual lie. History is, rewriting it to fit some revisions nationalistic agenda is foul.

          “Starvation of anyhow underfed Bengalis is less serious than that of sturdy Greeks” and that Indians were, in any case, “breeding like rabbits” - Winston Churchill
