In 1971, when the war criminals Nixon and Kissinger tried to STOP India from intervening in the genocide in East Pakistan, it was the USSR which helped us rescue millions and create the country of Bangladesh.

Russia on the other hand never tried to invade India, despite the Russophobic British spreading lies since they got a whooping in the Crimean war in 1856. [0]

As for the famines caused by the British in India, and the utterly vile conversions executed by the portoguese in Goa using industrial tools like breast-rippers, the less said the better. [1]

I suggest you stop regurgitating propaganda.





In Eastern Europe, the USSR acted like the British in India, and Russia continues that tradition.

Eastern Europe collaborated with the Nazis to attack the USSR. You may not know your own history but I do.

Case in point: The Ukraine (Stepan Bandera) and Poland. Look it up.


The USSR had starved millions of Ukrainians to death before the Nazis even rose to power. Mirrors the British hunger games in India.

If you want to excuse and trivialize the suffering caused by Russians in Eastern Europe, then by the same token you trivialize the suffering of Indians under British rule. All the same excuses apply: some Bandera-Ramachandran surely conspired against the British and therefore the Bengal famine is your own fault.


I've read both version of the Holodomor or whatever it's called. I put it down to communist incompetence, Mao was no different than Stalin in this regard.

As for the famines in India, the war criminal Churchill deliberately routed grains to feed his armies during world war 2. Prior to that, it was British policy to trigger famines, not incompetence.

During the Irish famine, again under British rule, the latter were exporting grains and other produce to England. It was not incompetence but malice.

Who is Ramachandran?


The USSR was also exporting grains as their own people were starving.

Churchill said that the Indian famines were the fault of Indians for "breeding like rabbits" and Stalin said that the Holodomor was the fault of Ukrainians for being "kulak saboteurs". The same dismissive and inhumane attitude shines through. They knew what was happening, they knew that they had the means to stop it, and they chose not to use them.


The British were using famine long before the genocidal Churchill showed up.

Churchill was a shameless genocidal racist.

While he was saying that, he was exporting grain to feed his armies.

I'm glad to see that you view the two - Churchill and Stalin - as equally evil.


> Churchill was a shameless genocidal racist.

Same as Modi.



Prove it.

Don't the Soviets get the mark of death for collaborating with the Nazis to divide Poland?

Did any part of India do anything objectionable pre-occupation such that you could apply the same "they had it coming" argument?


Russians were the biggest Nazi collaborators in Europe during WWII. Check Andrey Vlasov and "Russian Liberation Army", so called "РОА".

Prove it.
