Chapter 13 How to Deal with Indian Traitors

This was the main purpose of this civil service conference, and the subtext was to get money! To put into practice the mission that the British Empire would never surrender until the last drop of Indian blood had been drained.

This was of course no problem, and most of the senior officials agreed that the matter was not difficult, except that the senior officials of Bombay and Bengal expressed the hope that the Congress Party would give a clear indication of its support in this matter.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the province of Bengal, which is only two years after the Bengal famine, and the support for the campaign in Burma, the province of Bengal, which is very close to Burma, will certainly have to bear the heavy burden, which will require the support of the Indian elite.

That is to say, the full support of the Congress Party, British India and the Congress Party’s relationship is not very amicable, each other to watch out and take advantage of, you know, Bengal high official Burke also spoke out, “In fact, the mutiny created by the Indian soldiers, although all were quickly suppressed, but this trend has to be worrying.”

As early as July 1942, the Congress Party made a plea for full independence to the British authorities, and the document it drew up stated that mass disobedience was about to break out if Britain did not accede to its demands. Subsequently, the Bombay meeting of the Central Committee of the Congress Party adopted the “Quit India Resolution”, marking the formal beginning of the Quit India Movement. The movement was massive, beginning with peaceful demonstrations, denial of authority and undermining of the British war effort, followed by massive protests and demonstrations across India and calls for collective strikes by workers.

At the same time, the threat to British India following the Japanese occupation of Burma really startled a large number of people in British India at the time, and it was good to see that the movement was eventually put down.

“Alan, what’s the movement in Hyderabad.” Sir Barron turned his head toward Alan Wilson, hoping to get good news from him.

“Sir Barron, based on the Hyderabad Tuktuk, and the other smaller Tuktuks that are subdivided, there is no doubt that the monarchs of those Tuktuks are still very supportive of the Viceroyalty and the administration of British India.” Alan Wilson stood up and reported in a moderately sized voice, “I believe that the majority of the Tuktuks, as well, have always viewed British India as an important force in securing order in South Asia, and that they are not the same as the Congress Party and the PMLN.”

Sir Barron nodded, then John stood up and said, “The Junagadh Tupa, as well as the Tupas on the west coast, are likewise calm, and much more at ease than many of the areas where the Congress Party has established its influence.”

“So things don’t look too bad!” Sir Barron nodded, then added worriedly, “There’s another problem that hasn’t arisen yet, but we have to be wary of it, and coming up with a solution early is what the Governor expects from us. How do we deal with the Indian National Army?”

A silence greeted Sir Barron, the dawn of victory was not far away, but the problems that were about to arise were one more difficult than the other, the Indian National Army was a military organization founded by Chandra Bose, an army that started out consisting mainly of British Indian prisoners of war captured by the Axis powers, but later on, many Indians from Japanese-controlled Malaya and Burma also volunteered to join the organization.

The organization’s goal was to liberate India from Britain, and so it assisted the Japanese in the Battle of Imphal against the British Indian Army during the Japanese occupation of Burma in World War II.

Chandra Bose, though he joined the Axis side, did have a great reputation in the latter days, and the portrait has always been linked with Gandhi and Nehru, so you can imagine his own status in India.

How to face this anti-British armed forces, although no one first spoke up, but the heart of all Chandra Bose and the entire Indian National Army hate to kill.

“It’s still wartime and it’s too early to talk about it, but if the question arises. Using Indian soldiers to guard these so-called National Army soldiers is not a good idea.” Burke, a high official of the Bengal province, spoke up, “Many Indian soldiers being with these Axis-leaning soldiers will likely contribute to the spread of dangerous ideas, which will be detrimental to the British Empire.”

“In fact, they could be kept within Burma, which would isolate them. For most of the Indian National Army soldiers, we can completely of course they do not exist, as for how the Burmese people treat them, we can not care about it and do not ask questions, and wait for a few years, it will be completely irrelevant to us, after the war reconstruction, restoration of production so much, even if you forget about these people is also very normal, is not it?”

Alan Wilson followed the words of the high official of the Bengal province, turned around and continued, “As for Chandra Bose himself, I certainly hope that he dies directly in the middle of the war, but the war is not yet over, you can leave him alone for now.”

Alan Wilson proposed that the tens of thousands of Indian National Army prisoners of war be thrown into Burma to fend for themselves and not be escorted back to India at all. He still has some knowledge of Burma, the first major ethnic group in Burma, the Burmese, and the vast majority of other ethnic groups, and the Indians do not have much friendship at all, and the religion is different, Burma is Buddhism, India is Hinduism.

Do not think that Buddhists must be very peace-loving, Chinese Buddhists are also three Wuyi Zong and Buddhists after in-depth exchanges, Buddhism only great enlightenment to become a Buddha. Burmese Buddhism has never been extinguished, and now it’s just as murderous and arsonist as ever.

And because of the political status and human resources of British India, resulting in the British Empire in the management of the colonies, generally use South Asians to govern other colonies, red-headed San’s big name even the Magic City Concession know. Not to mention other British colonies!

British colonization of India and Burma period. After the occupation of Burma, a large number of Indians were moved into Burma. At that time, the Indians not only had an economic advantage, but also once occupied stronger political resources, and were antagonistic to the local Burmese in terms of religion, race and interests, and hostility and conflicts between the two sides were inevitable. Later, after the colonization, the Burmese government has been unfriendly to the Indians, for example, not allowing them to join the army, suppressing related cultural practices, and so on.

Alan Wilson believed that these prisoners of war of the Indian National Army, once they fell into the hands of the Burmese, as long as the British civil servants who were doing the job did not about to forget them, the probability of the Burmese people would make life worse than death for these enemies of the British Empire.

On hearing this, Sir Barron asked meaningly, “Oh? Will it happen so smoothly?”

“Maybe it will, many of the local forces we can’t understand all of them, and once they are provoked, they may do irrational things.” Alan Wilson shrugged and laughed in an uncertain tone.

“Oh, that’s a surprise.” Keane, a high-ranking official of the United Provinces, sighed heartily and said with a little contemptuous disdain, “It’s kind of a good thing, the entire Indian population is breeding like cockroaches, even if they can’t even eat, the more they have to mate moment by moment, and wherever they go, there are endless crowds of people.”
