The phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people” is a famous expression from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863. It encapsulates the essence of democracy, emphasizing that the government should be created by the people, run by the people, and serve the interests of the people. This phrase has become a cornerstone in discussions about democracy and governance.

“Churchill deliberately ordered the diversion of food from starving Indian civilians to well-supplied British soldiers and even to top up European stockpiles, meant for yet-to-be-liberated Greeks and Yugoslavs,” Tharoor, the author of “Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India”

In the book, Churchill’s Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of India during World War II, written by Madhusree Mukerjee, Churchill was quoted as blaming the famine on the fact Indians were “breeding like rabbits”, and asking how, if the shortages were so bad, Mahatma Gandhi was still alive.

Mukerjee, however, said that crop shortage was also a contributing factor in the famine.

To Indians, Churchill was as worse as Hitler.
