British have no idea about the history of India, Bengal famine, Gas attack on the Iraqis, Gas attack on Russians, the creation of Israel, and they do not accept the true history.
Well actually the British powers knew all that because they orchestrated them, but ordinary brits may not know because the education is dumbing down of people

The most interesting members in panel are perhaps the Indians. Also the absence of a discussion of Churchill as a war leader is intriguing. One prominent British historian described the consequence of the Battle of Normandy as "the apples of Sodom which turned into dust as soon as they were touched". A telling comment of Churchills claim as a war hero.
Curchill was for 1000 years of british empire. SECOND WORLD WAR LIBERATED INDIA AND INDIA WAS LUCKY IN THAT RESPECT. British empire crumbled after the War. Otherwise Indian would be under British now.

As for Winston Churchill, he, Churchill recruited and sent into Ireland the Black and Tans and worse the infamous Auxiliary cadets who tortured and murdered innocent unarmed civilians. It backfired on Churchill not least because of the uproar it caused among the British public.
Indpite of all the atrocities churchil was responsible to have done British still believe that he wa s a great statesman.This is True nature of THe British intellectuals.Churchill sacked Dayer But conveniently ignored the fact that Millions of ppounds were raised to take Dayer Home together with the Felicitation of THe Person who was responsible for mass murder. The dead soul of Millions of Bengal farmer shall never forgive him.
Churchill didn’t cause the famine - it was caused by a cyclone that destroyed transport to the area and the Japanese had invaded Burma. Local grain merchants put up prices and it wasn’t possible to send shipping to the area easily because the Japanese controlled the seas.

Here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, our main city square is called Churchill Square, the train station, Churhill LRT Station, and there's a big Churchill statue in the LRT station. The Bengal Famine of 1943 was a big mistake because otherwise, the last great Indian famine would have been the 1898-1901 famine. The British instead of modern India could have claimed they ended the famines. Now they have to explain famines starting with the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 and ending with the Bengal Famine of 1943, followed by partition violence.
Because he wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t exactly a hero of the world either but the issue is that people try to generalise these kinds of topics. He had his shining moments and his dark ones. Case in point, he was and is without a doubt a hero of the modern Europe. He was and is not a hero of India.
Agreed, Winston was against giving any women the vote thus disenfrancising half the population of Britain. Voted the greatest Britain??? Thank God Im not British.

Lezaran, Britain did not win ww2 neither did USA. The Russians won WW2, and they did it on their own. Russian losses were terrifying with 35,000,000.dead.British and Commonwealth lost 450,000,Americans lost 380,000.The Russians were lucky as Stalin beheaded the army in his paranoia in the 1930s.In Aug 1939, the Imperial Japanese army faced the Russians in Manchuria, the Japanese were defeated and signed an non aggression pact with Russia. They then avoided Russia and went elsewhere. The general in charge of the Russian army was a man called George pronounced Ge org Ge Zhukov. The Germans should have taken note. As for supplies shipped to Russia by the very brave men on the convoys,the tanks were not used. The Sherman was known as Tommy cookers by the Germans and the Americans called them Ronsons, because they lit first time. Russians didn't like their high profile. If any Brit doesn't believe me of the importance of Zhukov in ww2, he never lost a battle by the way, go to the Imperial War museum and see whose bust is displayed there. Much like the Japanese, the British avoided large scale operations against German forces. The British were not fighting a German army in North Africa, they were fighting the Africa Corps, which consisted of two divisions.
He wasn’t in government when Britain declared war, and the empire was over anyway by then. The war against the nazis was a necessary war to fight for reasons which I do hope I am not asked to have to explain to you.

The panel was lopsided britishers seemed to know more about the topic than the indians did. The british points weren't countered well.
Bro, how could you counter any argument starting with "it's complicated" it nullify every argument based on, dots of public speaking.
Indians are always uneducated
The Indians were ignorant. The Britons were brilliant. With such odds you have to expect a lopsided debate outcome.
British have no idea about the history of India, Bengal famine, Gas attack on the Iraqis, Gas attack on Russians, the creation of Israel, and they do not accept the true history.
Dipak Basu if Britain really had the wish to kill Indians it would not have waited 100 years for a famine would it
Well actually the British powers knew all that because they orchestrated them, but ordinary brits may not know because the education is dumbing down of people
funny enough, if i was not for him, you'd all be saying the exact opposite and in German.
