Not particularly. Brexit is never likely to happen now. It was supposed to be March 29th. We're set on a path of never ending extensions, followed by a revocation of Article 50 and a betrayal of democracy.
Leavers are being battered into submission by an endless display of bureaucracy masquerading under the guise of parliamentary sovereignty, exercised by a parliament that's too spineless to actually be sovereign.

I thought off topic posts were prevented here after a specific warning. Looks like there are two sets of rules still prevailing. One for desis and one for whites. Nice to note.
It seems clear to me that in the name of FoE, any shit is & should be edible. After all Indians are supposed to have robust digestions. Didn't we survive the Delhi belly?
They were extremely benign. So benign that the Monstrous, neanderthal , undernourished cukcolded Irish felt extremely insecure with the virile English & Scots around. The Irish tried everything. They fled, they converted to protestantism and finally they rebelled. The IRA laid more stock in the 3rd Reich than Britain. They actively indulged in acts of sabotage all across the mainland Britain. De Valera ( God Bless his Soul) showed the parasite & future stroke patient Churchmouse the middle finger when he asked assistance. All in all the Irish gave a decent account of themselves. Yet Bose is to be despised for siding with the Japanese. Sounds more like racism than indignant benign colonialism.
please report, so it shows up on the queue, If I am not around other mods can take care of it.
My absolutely personal take:
Get over it India! A foreign power, ruling over you, used all means "legal" as per it's rules and regulation, to enforce its writ! No one asked you to surrender your sovereignty to a foreign power in the first place that you complain now.

Because WW2 was NOT OUR WAR!
Simple!
India was no party to WW2. It was a European war and last I checked we had nothing to do with Europe.
Lemme also apply your logic. Lots of Chinese died due to Mao's cultural revolution, so Japanese were fair to kill them in Nanjing right? Thats what you are arguing.
That's some harsh punishment...Also.
On his exile to Britain, Dyer was presented with a gift of £26,000 sterling, a huge sum in those days (approximately £1,000,000 in terms of 2013 PPP), which emerged from a fund set up on his behalf by the Morning Post, a conservative, pro-imperialist newspaper which later merged with the Daily Telegraph. A "Thirteen Women Committee" was constituted to present "the Saviour of the Punjab with the sword of honour and a purse". Large contributions to the fund were made by civil servants and by British Army and Indian Army officers, although serving members of the military were not allowed to donate to political funds under the King's Regulations (para. 443).
Meanwhile the soldiers from the Garhwal regiment who refused to fire at unarmed civilians during Qissa Khwani Bazaar massacre were all court-martialled & many served life sentences.

Dyer wrote an article in the Globe of 21 January 1921, titled, "The Peril to the Empire". It commenced with "India does not want self-government. She does not understand it." He wrote later that:

- It is only to an enlightened people that free speech and a free press can be extended. The Indian people want no such enlightenment.
- There should be an eleventh commandment in India, "Thou shalt not agitate".
- The time will come to India when a strong hand will be exerted against malice and 'perversion' of good order.
- Gandhi will not lead India to capable self-government. The British Raj must continue, firm and unshaken in its administration of justice to all men.
It was a death sentence. Poor chap died in penury and an Irishman got killed instead.
The government has a lot of things to consider in their punishment. Public opinion, troop morale etc. It did however lead to reforms in the way such illegal gatherings were dealt with.
