    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I forgot the link to the analysis going back till the 1947, but here is information till 1920s: 27D2. Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India PARTIV Ambedkar had written quite a lot about it. If I find the other source, I would let you know. But even the above link shows that it was...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    Well, Churchill was just another Britisher who believed in the great glory of the empire even though it was a financial drain on the economy. It was ego and not financial benefits that was behind his stand. Look at some of the last balance sheets of the Raj and you will realize what I...

    Yes, Spain did it, Britain did it. But my point was contributing the entire wealth acquired by British to their imperialism is a big blunder. They were also among the most advanced nations and producers of wealth at that time. They were not just good at looting but were also good at creating.

    So now I know the reason for your ignorance of basic facts. Read some mainstream stuff as well and not just the conspiracy theories. Mainstream media does not constitute mainstream views. They have got it all wrong!! Check out- The armchair economist by Steve Landsburg. I hope you would like it...

    Where are you going to keep the oil to back your currency dude? Take it out of ground and store in Central banks!! Or not take it out and never know how much is inside. Gold was compact to store and it was easy to monitor its production and that made it a suitable choice for backing up the...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    Yeah, it is interesting. But laws of UK do not apply in this region is looks vague from what I googled. The regions can definitely have sovereignty over certain things. It would be nice if you could provide better insights. From what I understand it looks more like a business organization with...

    Four divisions does not make them similar baba. Nepal has a much closer or same caste system as India. Oil---That made me laugh. Find out the reasons why people used gold/silver as backup for currency. There is no reason to back currency by gold. When the amount of services that could be...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    ^^ I did not justify British rule anywhere above. Paragraph 1: UK declined due to its socialistic policies and not because they stopped looting. While US and Germany were pre-dominantly capitalistic, Britain took up socialism. Read more about post war Britain and Thatcherism which arose to...

    I liked his post because of sweeping conclusion and because it reminded me of Royal Enfield for some reason.

    Emotions should not blind your judgements today. I admire not the Raj but the individuals who worked hard to create wealth. In hatred for the Raj, do not blindly criticize the other accomplishments of the British.

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I am not in love affair with anyone. Just pointed you to the facts and arguments. I do not want to write the whole history here but for elucidation Germany was not even a nation state till late 19th century(thanks to Bismarck for the vision). Britain was much industrialized before anyone else...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    Britain was a nation of free individuals. They were the first to industrialize, first to open trade barriers, first to adopt constitution and the list goes on. They were at the frontier of research and inventions. USA copied and maintained their economic model with a considerably larger...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I did not lectured on how well or pathetically nation states thrive. I meant the concept of one political India that we see today has as much British contribution as the rise of nationalism under British rule. British set up as many schools as they needed to run the country. I am not defending...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I doubt how much trains and ports would have been built by our local kings. We were a declining civilization and British just happened to be here at the opportune time. If it was not for British, we probably would have been some Rajputana, Bengal, Marathwada etc. now. As far as illiteracy is...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    His writings are good and there is no doubt he was a prolific writer. Although biased but we can also give him some credit as a historian. I completely agree with you that it is a completely subjective topic to vote upon. I myself have not voted on it due to this reason but excessive bashing...

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I did not say he was the best person born under the rule of crown. He was just another status-quoist, who believed in the white man's burden. But he lost the election badly after WW2 due to his stand on dismantling the empire. But how does holding the above view makes him the most evil?

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    Because you forget that Churchill was their war hero. His positives overshadow the negatives when looked from the British eye. The way we are unable to look beyond cursing Churchill for the famine, the Britishers have their own myopia. The utopian situation would be for Indians to defend...

    So, the moderators opened the poll again for more Churchill bashing!! May be we can let people cast multiple votes to reflect the intensity!

    Who is the most Evil individual from the 20th century ?

    I too believe Communists killed many more in Russia and China rather than what is officially reported. But, Hitler cannot wash his hands with the role he played in sparking WW2. Although, Stalin was no less sinister in his plans and as some conspiracy theorists claim he would have himself...
