Winston Churchill once said "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it", and indeed how right he was, for almost every major school textbook and every major mainstream media source, be it documentaries or movies, has painted him in a good light. That too, despite the fact that this man had played a major role in the Bengal famine and mass starvations elsewhere in British Occupied Subcontinent, which resulted in the deaths of more than 4 million people, add to that countless more in other British colonies, who's populations combined numbered more than 500 million people.
Other similar inhuman policies of this man and his empire included the forced repatriation and handing over of millions of Eastern Europeans and Russians who fled the Stalinist Soviet regime during the years following the end of WW2 (Operation Keelhaul), many of whom were Soviet POW's who's fate Stalin had already sealed. Many of these people who sought protection in the Western Allies, only found themselves betrayed by the Western Allies and handed over to the Soviets and thus transported to Siberia where millions perished in the Gulags, never to be seen again.
Yet, this man goes down as a hero to many people who were never affected by his cruel and inhumane policies or the policies of the British crown. In israel, a monument has been erected in the honor of this man.
These are just a few of the many atrocities this one man and one empire are responsible for. One can't even begin to mention those committed by the other Western powers, their allies, and their leaderships (Roosevelt, Truman, and Stalin). Not many people are aware of the war crimes committed by these criminal leaderships/governments, mostly due to the fact that these men were the victors and they chose what would be taught to the generations to come.
And thus, it is rightfully said that History is written by the Victors, for the defeated side will forever be demonized, painted in infamy and propaganda, while the victors will shove their heinous crimes under the rugs and have many a good things written about themselves.
But as free citizens, let us for once view history through an objective and neutral lense, from an unbiased perspective. If we truly are free in the sense that we claim and believe ourselves to be, then let us not allow bias, lies, and deceit to cloud our judgement.
Now i will begin by introducing you to this brilliant documentary i stumbled upon online. A story of a man who has been continuously slandered, demonized, and painted as the greatest monster in human history, solely responsible for initiating WW2, and a story of a Nation which was (and still is being) punished for having strived for its own freedom, independence, liberty, preservation and right to peaceful coexistence amongst the nations of the world, and even to this day continues to pay the price.
For over 70 years we have been seeing, hearing, and believing one side of the story without any objection, let us at least for once give the other side an equal chance to present its side of the story.
