How Muslim invaders and British rulers killed over 300 million people in India — still no memorial for Hindu holocaust

It’s unsettling to see Hindus being largely silent or indifferent about the horrors being unleashed on them for centuries. One wonders why there’s no memorial for the Hindu holocaust of the last 1,000 years Early this month, when Al-Jazeera came up with an article stating that British colonialism killed more than 100 million Indians in 40 years between 1880 AD and 1920 AD, it created a sense of anger and disbelief. The Great British Killing Machine If one takes Al-Jazeera’s 100 million Indian casualties in 40 years to be true — there’s no reason not to believe this — it would not be an exaggeration to say that more than 200 million people died or killed under the British rule. Since 1770, India saw at least two dozen massive famines, the last big one being again in Bengal in the early 1940s whose man-made nature can be understood from the fact that a series decisions by Winston Churchill, the then British prime minister, “directly and inevitably led to the deaths of some three million Indians”, as Madhusree Mukerjee writes in Churchill’s Secret War. In War of Civilisations: India AD 1857, the two-volume series on what many saw as “India’s first war of independence”, author Amaresh Misra states that there was an “untold holocaust” which caused the deaths of almost 10 million people over 10 years beginning in 1857.
