Today, it is estimated that around 20 per cent of the world’s population, approximately 1.5 billion people, speak English. However, most of them aren’t native English speakers.
Meanwhile, democracy in Tanzania is in peril, and Theresa May should consider hitting Russia where it hurts— and go after the rich Russian oligarchs in Britain.
Diplomacy is hard work. Trump has already made several mistakes in the run-up to his bilateral talks with Kim Jong-un, and firing his highest diplomat isn't the biggest one.
KUSHNER TO CONGRESS: ‘I DID NOT COLLUDE’
In closed testimony to the U.S. Senate Monday, President Trump’s son-in-law and Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner boldly denied colluding with the Russian government’s intrusion into the 2016 U.S.
Ventures by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan illustrate how the race for REE security is accelerating, powered by both geopolitical tension and industrial strategy.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
So many I’ll educated biased articles like this.
Written by racists with an agenda but not educated enough to know the facts.
My favourite they roll out is the poison gas one. How he wanted to drop poison gas the evil man. The reality? He was telling them to use non lethal gas to disperse people rather than bombing them. Ohh my.. But that does r fit the lies that people try to spout.
Agree with the author. Please read “ Churchill’s Secret War” by Madhushree Mukerjee. Mukherjee in this book has provided incontrovertible evidence how Churchill contributed to deaths three million Indians in the Bengal famine in the 1940s.
India is also seeing the same thing. Reservation based ethnic cleansing in the guise of Social Justice propagated by caste mafias of Bihar, TN etc. What else can you make of every just and fair decision of the Supreme Court has been overturned under the oppression and terror of caste mafias masquerading as protectors of ‘backward’.
Churchill was a racist and a evil man. But he did what was right for his country!
I wish some of our politcians were more stone hearted and wise especially when dealing with our adversaries. Had Nehru not been a blind idealist ( some would say stupid) and not so weak in the knees we perhaps wouldn’t have had the Kashmir and Pakistan problem and the Chinese would have thought twice before they did what they did. He almost abandoned NEFA (Arunachal and other areas)
The same way Shashtri ambivilance resulted in us not going for the kill and taking Lahore in battle and later giving away Hajipir pass in peace talks which we captured against all odds.
But perhaps the greatest stupidity was shown by Mrs Indira Gandhi who gave away 90000 Paki POWs on Bhuttos verbal assurance that he will eventually work out a solution. This stupidity perhaps has no equivalent in morden diplomatic history!
There are many other great examples of stupid statecraft like I K Gujaral unilaterally disbanded RAW operations in Pakistan. The Various Bus rides by Atal Bihari, were led mostly by his heart and not by real politik!
Shashi Tharoor, a seemingly an intelligent man, though thoroughly gullible, following a family with dubious reputation and getting swayed by their name ignoring their deeds.
Coming back to Churchill, he was very clear that all his actions were in the interst of his country. We need that kind of wisdoms in our leaders instead of the usual Lill livered emotional peaceniks.
A verse from the Panchtantra : “an arrow hits the body and no more, wisdom strikes at the very root, destroys family, fame, fortune and sovereignty
May well be true. However, the British rate him as one of their greatest individuals over the last five hundred years. Led a battered, bruised nation through the Secone World War, to eventual victory. Consider his current successor, unable to lead Britain out of the EU in orderly fashion.
A quick thought…..if Hitler won and Churchill lost world war II….what kind of history we would be reading….a white washed Hitler with all the Jewish massacre hidden in closet and only glorifying his success stories in war

Please explain how 1,500,000 Bengalis dies in a famine — in 1974, long after Britain (and Churchill) had gone.

Haha.
Very funny.
Elephants would have refused to trample on him as they did to Buddha!
But Churchill is excused for drinking too much, not Tharoor!

We need are leaders to have this wisdom!
In fact the same can be said of Christopher Columbus. Today, his actions would be termed as genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Share your article with Piers Morgan, Mr Tharoor. He is a great fan of Churchill.
