Britain… a full record of criminality and terrorism, Part I

Once again the Nobel Peace Prize proves that it lacks credibility, and is subject to political, selective, and interest-oriented criteria, and is even unfair, for this award was given recently to the European Union.
Despite the fact that this award was granted in the recent decades to a number of international institutions, organizations, and forums, including: the Permanent Bureau for International Peace, and the International Red Cross, United Nations’ High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UNICEF, the International Labor Organization, and to other active humanitarian organizations in the international arena, but it has been also granted to other sides, as to some officials of the criminal Zionist entity, and it has been given – at present- to the European Union. Hence, the harmony of this award with the principles of human rights is doubted and kept accountable.

In this report we will refer to a series of criminal precedents committed by Britain throughout history; it has one of the most colonial criminal and obscurant records among the countries of the European continent.

Before starting to review those crimes, we would like to draw the attention of the reader to the fact that summing up everything was committed by Britain during the eras of its colonization of the world, calculating, and estimating them fully is impossible, because those crimes are various and unlimited. Hence, we will limit ourselves to mention the most important and best known crimes.

The beginning of the English colonization of the Asian countries

The date of the beginning of the modern colonialism goes back to the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1599, the British Empire had established the English East India Company, where this company formed the main pillar to install the dominancy of the British colonial power on the fertile areas of South Asia and the very rich ones. Since that time, all the colonial attacks and the ties that aimed at stabilizing the British domination over the peoples of South Asia were conducted through that company.

This growing British influence reached to the degree of having complete control over India, and after three centuries on the establishment of this company, this influence has led to the announcement of India as an integral part of the British Empire. As a result, Queen Victoria was crowned Empress of India and England.

That period of time was described as the era of plundering the riches of the Indian people by the English Empire, where this was taking place under the cover of the economic relations and trade exchanges between the two countries, what enabled the Britons to devote their influence and political dominance in that country.

The famous writer (Will Durant) says about India in particular and the Middle generally in comparison with the West: “We note that the people of North India, which is the important part of India, meet in one race with us and with the Greeks and Romans i.e. they belong to the same race, to which the Europeans or Aryans belong”. It is noteworthy that the Sanskrit language is an original one in the European languages.

Durant talks about the Indian mathematics, and how the Arabs transported and exported them to the West, as he also has important discussions that cover many other issues in the Indian civilization and even in the Eastern civilization in general, such as philosophy, religion and civil rights.

After this and that, Durant explains how India has been subjected to attacks by the French and English pirates and marine thieves, who worked on looting the wealth, to enable the colonization from controlling completely the wealth of this country, subjecting its people, and humiliating them. He wrote: “The Britons in India were selling everything, and even they were receiving bribes from the governors of the Indian states so that to help them reach to power, and they were imposing on the Indians to buy at high prices and to sell cheaply, where this imperialistic policy was the directly causing the high rates of poverty and misery experienced by about 30 million Indians in the city of Kolkata.

The English imperialistic policy impoverishes 30 million Indians in Kolkata.

According to many different historical well-informed sources, the period during which India was being subjected to occupation by the British forces, namely: starting from the year 1770 AD, more than 10 million Indians from Bengal only were dead owing to the drought, hunger, disease, and what they were suffering from at the hands of the British troops as the abuse, torture, and assault, or as the result of the forced labor that they were obliged and forced to engage in.

Will Durant continues saying: Although the Britons have taken a series of precautionary stringent steps to ensure the consistency and continuity of the cultural, political and economic British regime in India, yet the Indian people also benefited from a number of these steps.
We will refer to some of them as follows:

1) Cancelling the “Sati” doctrine that requires burning a woman with her deceased husband.

2) Adding structural formations to the Indian official institutions.

3) Abolishing the slavery system, (where the Indians used to pay huge expensive price for this).

4) Establishing the railway (for commercial and military purposes).

5) Introducing India to the Western science and technology.

Durant also addresses the active caste system in India, but what drew his attention most was the inequitable tax system created by the British occupation in India.

More than 10 million Indians from the Indian state of Bengal only died because of the British colonialism.

The Indian people were obliged within their homeland to submit taxes to the British occupiers. Durant says: “The percentage of taxes that were imposed in India compared to the GNP surpassed all other countries, so the ratio was eventually double the tax rate in Britain, and three times higher than that in Scotland”.

The Britons were through the imposition of these high and expensive taxes providing the costs of the Indian soldiers whom they were using to impose their power on the Indian subcontinent, and thus they were able to subjugate India by their domination and influence, without engaging themselves in any problematic at the economic and humanitarian levels. They in fact exploited the Indians themselves to colonize India and to impose their control over it. Durant believes that everything that happened was due to the silence of the Indians and not raising their voices to reject this great injustice that they were facing.

Regarding how and why India’s economic decline took place, Durant says: “The economic conditions of India was the inevitable and direct result of the process of the political exploitation that took place against it”.

Since 1942, India suffered from severe famine due to the colonial practices carried out by the British state led by Churchill, what led to the death of more than 5 million Indian citizens. During the period between 1942 and 1944, about 3.5 to 5 million Indian citizens have died because of the famine. In that period, Churchill gave his orders to transfer the track of the ships that were carrying food to India, where those ships were busy transferring equipment and food to the English military forces in North Africa, causing major famine also in the Bengal city of India, and millions of Indians have died as a result.

About 5 million Indians died of starvation during the years 1942 to 1944

At the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1814, Britain occupied the (Cape) Dutch colony in South Africa, and the Dutch immigrants, who are known as (the Boers) -(Boers) in the Dutch language means the (farmers)- have migrated to that country to maintain the rituals and rites of their religion known as the Calvinism doctrine. Hence, when the (Cape) has fallen in the hands of the British occupation, they emigrated from it heading towards the north in a large convoy of bullock cart, and on their way to the north they faced the (Zulu) tribes, and wars and battles erupted between the fanatic Boers and those tribes.

(Zulu) in language means the sky; they are one of the indigenous African tribes, as a race and language, and have fought in the period between 1830 and 1839 battles against the Boers, and Britain was able later to beat them in 1880.

That battle began on 16 December 1880, and the Zulu people were capable at the beginning of defeating the British people, and have killed their commander, General (Cali), but (William Goldstone), England’s Prime Minister at the time, knew how to solve this crisis realistically by announcing his acceptance of the peaceful solution, and agreed to grant (Transvaal) autonomy.

After gold has been discovered in Transvaal, thousands of Britons went to the area to work in the field of minerals, and thus the city of Johannesburg was built.

When the Boers saw this, they imposed on the workers who act as the non-indigenous people and on the English companies operating in the field of extracting gold, heavy taxes and prevented the newcomers from participating in the elections or having access to any governmental position in that area. This raised the ire of the workers in the field of minerals, so they sent their complaints to the Colonial Ministry in London, which sent a stern warning to the local Boer Republic, which has never cared about this. This prompted London to motivate the English military forces that were stationed at the time in the (Cape) colony to start the war again on October 11, 1899, but all of those English military campaigns and attacks have failed.

In fact, the Boers have adopted this time the guerrilla-style, so they did not fight with their military uniform, and were attacking the Britons from their hidden sites. In addition, the European countries that were disputing with Britain, and especially Germany, were this time providing the Boers with arms and ammunition, and have engaged them in military training courses, to the extent that the war, which lasted 29 months, did not have any result in favor of the Britons until its last month. England was scarifying its best officers and senior generals to fight the Boers, including: Gen. Kitchener, General Camp, Gen. Koich, and Gen. Roberts.
