Nazis and Soviets were ideological groups nothing more, and they not even continue nationalistic policies of their predecesors, Tsar's rule or Kaisers were civilised and even more fair than Nazis and Soviets that only goal was to exterminate other nations (nazis) or force others to follow one ideology (soviets). There is a big difference, go and learn history.
They didn't continue nationalistic policies? The whole reason why Hitler was so popular among Germans was because he was an ultranationalist who promised to undo the humiliation of the Great War. The German people were desperate and gullible and so they lapped up his propaganda; they too are to blame for the carnage of WWII. It was the same also in the Soviet Union; by the late 40s Stalin had abandoned the early
korenizatsiya policies and made Russian nationalism the foundation of Soviet ideology. This was reflected in, among other things, the creation of a new national anthem (emphasizing Russian nationalism) to replace the old Internationale (emphasizing global internationalism).
There was nothing civilised about the Kaisers or the Czars. German colonialism in Southwest Africa was barbaric and so was the Russian conquest of Central Asia.
... and You call such approach civilised? Pfff.
Yes. Even if you disagree with other people's culture you have no right to enforce your own culture on them. This is a rule that civilised people should follow. Barbarians don't understand or care about the right of other peoples to self-determination so they happily engage in war and genocide.
Germans were one of the most civilized nations in world, still due to different factors it was easy for people like Hitler to gain power over them. Do not think that Indians or any other nation is less susceptible to be infualnced by such individual. You are actually proof to my point, Your whole argumentation is based on hate and wish for others to live in the bottom.And be honest with us, it is only because You are jealous that they were more succesfull than You, and when they finally have problems, it is just great time to show Your own frustration.
Jealous of what? Civilised people have no desire to imitate barbarians. To me, the success of a nation has nothing to do with how many countries have been conquered or how many people have been killed. Maybe Europeans measure the success of a nation that way, but civilised people do not.
No, our hatred of Europe has more to do with disgust. People from all over the so-called Third World, who have felt the touch of European "civilization" cannot help but feel disgusted. Anyone who spreads such misery and barbarism in the name of "civilization" can only invoke disgust.
I can, because all people are prone to be violent, only someone naive will belive in what You write above.
Can you show me an instance in history when Indians engaged in such barbarism as the Europeans did? We never invaded distant countries due to false beliefs of racial superiority. We never committed genocide against another ethnic group. India has always been a tolerant society, welcoming people from all over the world. This is the mark of civilisation. In fact, I have said before on this same thread, that India was too civilised for its own good. We were not prepared to deal with the barbarians when they finally showed up.
The fact is that when it comes to war, genocide, and exploitation, there is no one on this planet with more expertise than Europeans. Do not put Europeans on the same plane as others; not everyone in the world is a barbarian.
