Chapter 191: Toward a New India

The pursuit of equality between men and women, what a glorious excuse, Alan Wilson believes that even if the Indian people do not agree with the heart, but also dare not say it openly, for the time being his role, belongs to the primary stage of women’s rights, is the pursuit of self-interest in the protection of the rights and interests of the people.

British India’s environment can implement this primary stage is good, as for the second stage of the pursuit and men’s equal rights and interests, and even more advanced stage, the struggle for power and profit ladies first, down the mine to dig coal women are socially disadvantaged groups, this piece of soil in South Asia is not to even think about it.

In fact, even the later generations of Europe and the United States, the slogan has reached the highest stage, but the actual action is the beginning of the second stage.

The pursuit of equal rights and interests with men, first of all the same work to give the same salary, the same as a teacher, the man to give 10,000, the woman should also give 10,000, but in fact most of the industry, the woman’s wages have always been in the same occupation than the man lower.

This is true in any country in Europe and America, without exception, and Alan Wilson is preparing glossy slogans, and malicious jokes about Indians, to push India to take a big step forward on the road to equality between men and women.

Though the exact steps are still under wraps, the preparations have already begun, and the Supreme Court of British India, has started working on the investigation, regarding the specifics of keeping holy women in temples all over British India.

Anything once linked to money, will become incredibly dirty, Allen Wilson to do not think so, or to consider the overall environment, as far as the situation here in South Asia, even if the British do not come, will not be better.

The bad habits that should have been there would have remained just the same, instead the British came and caused harm while stopping some of the crime.

I don’t know how many lives have been saved since Britain officially curbed the tradition of self-immolation of widows.

It is hard to imagine that this tradition of martyrdom existed in South Asia until the nineteenth century under the cover of Hinduism.

And even now, because the Viceroyalty of British India, in fact, does not have dominion over the entire subcontinent, Alan Wilson believes that the Hindu tradition of widow self-immolation has not been eradicated.

The three points of crimes against women, keeping holy women and widow martyrdom are used as a tool to make money. Alan Wilson felt that there was no shame in doing justice and at the same time to make money, it was good to do both.

After a discussion with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British India, the judicial officials of this piece also recognized the good intentions of the assistant commissioner, deeply felt that should be eradicated in South Asia there are a variety of anti-civilized habits.

And the offenders were given a chance to correct themselves by paying a fine at the temple where the holy woman was kept. This is also out of respect for the Brahmin class, so to speak.

Now it was just a matter of coming up with a name that shouted out, and Alan Wilson rushed to Clark, the head of the judicial officers, and suggested, “How about calling it the New Indian Cultural Movement? It seems revolutionary.”

So it was decided, after taking care of the administrative civil servants, Allen Wilson had done a good job, and now that the judicial civil servants had been taken care of as well, the new cultural movement was decided to start after the first of the year, and was currently in the investigation stage, to see where temples seemed to be accepting a lot of offerings, and at the same time, keeping holy women.

This matter can rely on the PML-N, Alan Wilson can remember, many Middle Eastern countries is a kind of position called religious police, this kind of police power is very great, not only the scope of intervention, but also very harsh means. They require that five times a day during prayer time, coffee shops and other facilities must be closed. No one was allowed to drink alcohol, take drugs, steal, commit adultery, or visit prostitutes.

Adult women were required to wear robes and veils when they left their homes, and were not allowed to expose any part of their bodies except their cheeks, and they were not allowed to wear make-up. When going out on business or traveling, men and women are segregated, and women must be accompanied by a male relative. Those who violated the above rules were reprimanded for minor offenses, or detained, sentenced, or whipped for serious ones.

Even if it was more cerebral, Alan Wilson was not prepared to activate the religious police, but only hoped that the Pacifists, who would be good informants, would be more informative about the upcoming campaign that was to come in the latter part of the year.

After all, he had come to British India only to get money, not to make it an immediate civil war, at least until the UK left, he wanted to be a good framer.

Slogans should be shouted more, to be more bright and righteous, how bright and righteous, things should be done less, for the Brahmin upper class can fine absolutely no detention, but if the bottom of the people who committed a crime, then you do not have to be polite, what campaigns are all about political achievements.

Perhaps Alan Wilson less to borrow the head of the untouchables, showing that British India and bad habits and the determination to do the fight.

This attitude won the highest chief justice of British India, headed by the judicial officials, very unanimous approval. At one time the Supreme Court was ambitious to leave a valuable legacy for India before it left.

While the implementation steps and details were being discussed over here, the Congress side finally came out with its views on the big building program.

During this time the Congress Party was also enquiring about London’s opinion on British India and was told that a large opinion also held that British India should be kept intact and was not compelled by Arizona’s rhetoric.

This is good news of sorts, both those who support Gandhi and those who support Nehru are united on the matter of receiving the legacy of the British Empire intact.

Of course there is a minority of Hindus who, like the PML-N advocates, absolutely do not live in a country with the other side. It was either Hinduism or pacifism, and this part of the claim eventually led to the later assassination of Gandhi.

But this was not the mainstream opinion of the Congress Party, which was nothing more than an either/or between Gandhi’s agriculture and Nehru’s industry, and it was Nehru who was supported in somewhat larger numbers.

Viceroyalty of India, Sir Barron handed a telegram from London to Alan Wilson and said, “The news from London and the Congress Party are all good news, but the new cultural movement that you recently discussed with the Supreme Court, is it not too hasty? It is now in the honeymoon period with the Congress Party.”

“Honorable Sir Barron, there is no contradiction in being united and struggling at the same time. And I am discussing this matter with the judges of the Supreme Court with no selfishness whatsoever. Rather, it is to preserve the unity of the entire British Indian civil service. Under your leadership, Sir, we will work together to stabilize the situation in British India.”

Alan Wilson explained with a sincere face, “When I was in Xiangjiang, I once heard a saying that it is better to give someone a fish than a fishing net. At this point in time, I don’t think we can stop judicial officials from generating revenue. If we take a share of the Chief Executive’s proceeds, if we take a smaller share, the judicial officials will not be willing to do so, and if we take a larger share, the administrative officials will not be willing to do so, and these are all problems.”

“It was also by chance that it dawned on me that I had forgotten the judicial officers’ share. Thankfully, Pamela reminded me.”

Pamela Mountbatten? Sir Barron snickered inwardly, this General Mountbatten’s daughter was only sixteen, right? What can she remind? It’s nothing more than an excuse to shirk responsibility.

“Still be careful, it’s not that we haven’t made efforts for this over the years, but it’s only explicitly banned widow martyrdom, in reality, the subcontinent is so big that we can’t see the places where we can’t see, this ugly custom should still be maintained.”

Alan Wilson nodded his head in an educated manner, “We will not face international pressure for eradicating the bad custom, I believe. As for the possible backlash in British India, it’s still an old-fashioned solution.”

“Pulling one faction together to combat another.” Sir Barron nodded his head in recognition, mentioning another matter, “Why do you always live in the flat, I remember that you do have a house in New Delhi, even if you don’t just find one and live in it.”

Of course it is to eat public food for nothing, my salary is handed over to others, how can I have spare money to travel around?

But you can’t say that, Allen Wilson was just expressing a heart for progress and a willingness to put in the work.

As the year 1946 dawned, a byword for imperialism and a symbol of deep shame for the educated people of British India. The Viceroyalty of British India issued a New Year’s greeting.

The text said that British India’s contribution to the whole war during the past few years was worth remembering. Now that the war is over, the glory of the British Empire is the glory of British India.

Now that the war is over, restorative construction is taking place everywhere, and with the size and population of British India, the potential for future development is unlimited, and this year, British India overcame all kinds of risks and challenges to promote high-quality economic development.

“The future is still arduous, but the people of this land who love labor will certainly live better and better.”

“To this end the British India Viceroyalty, has prepared a construction plan to develop the economy of British India. This plan has been widely recognized and supported.”

“At the beginning of the year 1946, the Viceroyalty of British India will move along with a wide range of subjects to the New India.”

For the first time ever, the Viceroyalty of British India had never before issued a New Year’s message. The news of the delivery of the New Year message reached London and even created a buzz.

I don’t know when, but British India appeared more frequently in the London newspapers. But it wasn’t all good, and the native citizens’ impression of British India even grew worse.

Compared to the fervor of the British homeland, the fervor of the newspapers in British India for the New Year’s message of the Viceroyalty of British India was nothing less than that of the homeland, if not more so.

Towards a New India, too, became the headline of a number of newspapers, and of course there were a number of sober nationalists who said that it was all a compromise for everyone’s struggles, and told those around them not to be fooled by British rhetoric.

On January 25, after making it clear that the Congress Party would not oppose it, the Viceroyalty of British India formally issued a major building program on the intensification of the construction of the Calcutta Industrial Estate, stating that it would double the number of industrial workers in the Calcutta Industrial Estate within five years.
