Churchill’s view of India & Gandhi was long distorted. Now Hira Jungkow has blown away the lie that Churchill wished Gandhi dead in the 1943 famine. Gandhi certainly raised Churchill’s hackles, but wishing he would starve to death is not in the record. richardlangworth.com/mr-gandhi-hasn…

Here is an excellent article by Hira Jungkow about the oft-repeated claim that the British took away $45 trillion from India. That this number changed to $69 trillion in 2020 should tell you its fallacy. quadrant.org.au/magazine/2021/…

Was the British Empire a ‘narco-state’, reducing the population of India to helpless dependence? Or is this, asks Hira Jungkow, a myth propagated by far-right Hindu nationalists and their useful idiots in the West? ✍️ historyreclaimed.co.uk/opium-in-india…

No. It’s a lie. It’s tiring seeing this tired old nonsense keep on coming up as though it’s gospel. Hira Jungkow quadrant.org.au/magazine/2021/…

Tirthankar Roy 1/n The problem wasn't that relief was delayed or inefficiently distributed, there simply wasn't enough to go around (as Bengal had a real shortage of around 1 million tons).
