Because Britain has good PR. Even today, there are people in India who do not know about the Bengal famine or Churchill’s role in the genocide!
Stalin, on the other hand, was hated by both his successors and most other countries. Again, many Indians do not know that Stalin and FDR tipped the balance in favour of the British agreeing to go away.
And India is a ‘neutral’ country, and one that greatly suffered under Britain and greatly benefitted from Soviet aid. So it is no surprise that Churchill’s crimes have been whitewashed.
Incorrect. Stalin did not order deaths by the millions. Churchill not only ordered the food taken from Bengal he actively opposed all attempts at alleviating their famine.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but he did order food to continue to be exported from India despite the ongoing starvation, correct? Isn’t that a distinction without a difference?
Bengal Famine lead to 2-3 million dead.
Yes but I do not see Churchil commanding it? Stalin ordered deaths by the millions. There is a big difference.
