Britain is the ‘killer’ of 16 crore Indians, became rich by looting … Russia lashed out at UK by taking the name of India

The war between Russia and Ukraine is being fought not only with weapons, but also with statements. Russia has targeted Britain for supporting Ukraine. Russia has taken the support of India to make a statement against Britain. Russia has said that Britain has really harmed India with its colonial policies. Lakhs of people have died due to this. Russia said that between 1880 and 1920, 100 million Indians suffered because of Britain when it ruled India.

According to the report of Republic World, the Russian Foreign Ministry gave this statement. The State Department cited research by economic anthropologists Jason Hickel and Dylan Sullivan for its figures. Along with accusing Britain of looting India, Russia condemned the then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s policies in India. The Ministry of External Affairs said in its statement, ‘From 1880 to 1920, about 16 crore people of India died and Britain looted property worth trillions of dollars.’

Every time Britain is accused of looting India, there is also a group that claims that colonization had a positive effect on India. The Russian Foreign Ministry has also condemned this alleged positive effect. Quoting Hickel and Sullivan’s study, Russo said, ‘The death rate in India in the 1880s was 37.2 per 1000 persons, which increased to 44.2 in the 1910s. The life expectancy of Indians also decreased from 26.7 years to 21.9 years during this period.

Reminder of Winston Churchill’s racism

During this, Russia also mentioned the time when the Second World War was going on. Russia said that in 1943, the then PM Winston Churchill had decided to send food grains from India to Britain. For this reason millions of Indians died of hunger in Bengal alone. Russia also reminded of Winston Churchill’s racist remark, according to which Churchill had said, ‘I hate Indians. They are like animals, their religion is also animal. Russia’s comment comes at a time when Britain has announced to give tanks to Ukraine.
