[Goanet] The British Monster

[Roland Francis]

When will there be a film on Winston Churchill, the barbaric monster with the 
blood of millions on his hands?

Imperialistic pop culture has enshrined Churchill only as a military great, a 
fun drunk, a loyal monarchist with a penchant for fine speech and a flair for 
loquacious prose. But the British PM lacerated the world with tragedies, 
profiting from plunders and mass murders, writes Shree Paradkar.

By the time I came across the ledger at the Bangalore Club with Winston 
Churchill’s name on it in the late 1990s, British rule in India had been 
sanitized; airbrushed to present a picture of overall benevolence with a few 
violent splotches.

The entry in the ledger is dated June 1, 1899 and names one Lt W.L.S. Churchill 
as one of 17 bill defaulters. He owes the club 13 rupees from a time when a 
whisky cost less than half a rupee.

Had we then heard that Churchill once described our beloved city as a “third 
rate watering place … without society or good sport,” we would have probably 
laughed it off as the irascibility ever only indulged in the great. Jolly good, 
old chap.

Colonialism of the mind lingers long after the land is free.

And if we had heard that he once said, “I hate Indians. They are a beastly 
people with a beastly religion,” meh. He was dead. We were thriving.

There are flawed heroes. Lincoln, MLK and Gandhi to name a few — men who 
inflicted injustices on individuals.

Then there are monsters.

Powerful men who lacerate the world with tragedies. Adolf Hitler, certainly, 
but his nemesis Churchill, too. 

It was only in 2014 that I first got a glimpse of genocidal mania in the man so 
lionized for leading his nation through its finest hour.

It was a piece titled Remembering India’s forgotten holocaust, in Tehelka 
magazine that detailed the ghastly origins of the Bengal famine of 1943 that 
killed an estimated 3 million people in one year.

Historians have easily traced it back to Churchill who had diverted the 
bountiful harvest from Bengal to Britain and other parts of Europe. When the 
locals began starving, he steadfastly refused to send them food. He said no to 
rerouting food that was being shipped from Australia to the Middle East via 
India. No to the 10,000 tons of rice Canada offered to send to India, no to the 
100,000 tons of rice America offered. The famine was the Indians’ fault, he 
told a war-cabinet meeting, “for breeding like rabbits.”

In his Revisionist History podcast, Malcolm Gladwell delves into how the 
historian Madhusree Mukerjee, author of Churchill’s Secret War, dug into 
Britain’s shipping archives to uncover evidence that Britain had so much food 
at the time that the U.S. had become suspicious they were stockpiling it to 
sell it after the war.

In India, she wrote, “parents dumped their starving children into rivers and 
wells. Many took their lives by throwing themselves in front of trains.” 
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Indian soldiers were fighting alongside the 
Allied forces.

Yet, what did the actor Gary Oldman who portrayed Churchill in Darkest Hour say 
last Sunday when he received an Oscar for Best Actor? “I would just like to 
salute Sir Winston Churchill who has been marvellous company on what can be 
described as an incredible journey.”

Salute. Sir. Marvellous. Incredible.

Oldman might as well have danced on 3 million dead bodies, many of whom were 
too weak to cremate or bury their loved ones.

Such tributes for a heinous white supremacist who once declared that “Aryan 
tribes were bound to triumph.”

Words as hollow as the tunnel-visioned ideals on which people fashion this man, 
but they can’t stem the drip, drip of blood from his hands.

They can’t hide tens of thousands of Kenyans who were rounded up in 
concentration camps called “Britain’s Gulags” under his orders, where thousands 
were tortured and killed for rebelling against British rule.

They can’t hide the bodies of the Greek civilians who were celebrating German 
withdrawal in 1944, but were killed by the British army because Churchill 
thought the communist influence on the Nazi resisters — who had allied with 
Britain — was too strong. And we haven’t even got into his treatment of Iraqis 
or the wiping out of entire Indigenous populations of Tasmania.

Churchill was not the first Western leader to profit from plunders and mass 
murders. Remember John A. Macdonald? But imperialistic popular culture 
continues to enshrine him, despite the Gallipoli disaster, only as a military 
great, a fun drunk, a loyal monarch with a penchant for fine speech and a flair 
for loquacious prose.

Churchill tried to manipulate history with the six volumes of his memoirs. 
Indeed he succeeded so well that even today the Bangalore Club thumps its chest 
about his membership there. “Many a past great … including Sir Winston 
Churchill” have been members, says its website.

This compounds the tragedy.

MR CAETANO FERNADES .LEFT HIS FOOTPRINTS
I had the pleasure of associating with Mr Caetano, as the Headmaster of
Immaculate Conception high School Avedem Paraoda for a period of 6 years.
It was strange that the school was shouldered with the responsibility of
celebrating the feast of the Village Chapel adjustant to the School. I
realized that the school had to make all the arrangements for seating,
priest, services band , preacher, in the evening. it meant that I had to
stay from morning till late evening after all the benches were shifted for
the next day class., Many of the benches were also damaged, The locals only
participated in religious ceremonies as guests. The raising of financial
resources were burden to the teaching community of the school. The
contributions from Locals were not guaranteed or dependable. There was a
fete in the morning to raise the resources to some extent and once again
patronized mostly by school students .The balance in the Chapel account of
the all previous year was shockingly in single digit. The daily collections
were the right of the Parish Priest and not ploughed into arrangements
.Refreshment for the celebrant were also school duty. It was an
unprecedented arrangement not seen by me in as many schools I had headed
That year the saving was Rs 6000= mostly coming from the staff members.
Chairs were provided for seating but that increased the cost many folds,
but saved the damage to the furniture of the school and daily shifting.
I called a meeting of Village elders soon after the feast and explained
that it was undesirable burden on school to celebrate, make arrangement and
take financial responsibility .That in future the school can at most can
assist in arrangement along with locals. The second year I dissociated and
Manager with the SSC student made a mesh of the event and was forced to
abandoned, The locals saw an opportunity to enter, took complete charge and
collected a balance of Rs 14000= under the leadership of Caetano in the
very first year. They purchased furniture for safekeeping of the religious
articles., Mr Caetano approached us regarding relinquishing a room adjacent
to the chapel .He agreed and obliged by constructing of new room first to
shift,.
It was Mr Caetano who spearheaded the movement to construct a new chapel
.He was the first magnanimous donor, drew the plans and started the work
with expectations and hope of receiving aid, He raised financial resources
through donations ,celebrations under great strain, supported by his family
and close relatives. A magnificent Chapel became a reality soon and much
needed place of devotion and faith that galvanized the villagers,. There
after the feast was celebrated with great pomp and faith by the people and
villages surrounding it. Thus far It was a single decision of Villagers
involvement to celebrate the feast that led initiatives to construct the
magnificent chapel.
Villagers trusted his leadership, dynamism, honesty , generosity,
determination, abilities to mobilize funds from far and wide ,sell a dream
to villagers. He is a simple well meaning individual, whose contribution to
construct the Chapel will always remain unquestionable praise worthy effort
.The religious structure is the best monument to his lasting memory and
none can deny this credit of his toil and labour of love , devotion, faith
and determination to overcome all obstacles
Toward s recent past he expressed disappointment and saddens that the
Church pressurized the Committee to transfer all the funds in deposit to
the Church and threatened Eucharistic celebration of festive occasion. I
have no idea what was the final outcome of this outlandish demand, if it is
true. There are no substantiated charges of mismanagement, fraud, lack of
trust in Caetano and team by the people in his leadership. The Church has
had no role of financial support, when the committee was struggling in its
construction It is not a good precedent to take hold of finances under the
guise of Church authority, where they could exercise watchdog role, if it
was necessary
The family of Caetano and Mrs Angelina Collaco and family have erected a
niche in honour of the OUR LADY OF LOURDES in the school premises, a
Christian sign so essential of a catholic identity The funded the
expenditure over 20,000= The family of Caetano also made provision of fund
to provide refreshment to the students
The demise of Mr Caetano, popularly known as AARAB due to his physical gait
hailed from Zerlabhat Avedem Paroda. He was born on 5-2-1944 and breathed
his last on 3-3- 2018, he was interred in the presence of large gathering
of grateful mourners on 5-3-2018. His health took many turns for the worst,
but he did not give due medical attention that was perhaps needed.
Obituaries from Association of Parado, Mumbai and large friends of Zerla
Bhat quoting “ Your actions were always kind. Agenerous hand and active
mind. Anxious to please and loath to offend a loving brother and faithful
