Case in point: The Ukraine (Stepan Bandera) and Poland. Look it up.

Did any part of India do anything objectionable pre-occupation such that you could apply the same "they had it coming" argument?

If you want to excuse and trivialize the suffering caused by Russians in Eastern Europe, then by the same token you trivialize the suffering of Indians under British rule. All the same excuses apply: some Bandera-Ramachandran surely conspired against the British and therefore the Bengal famine is your own fault.

As for the famines in India, the war criminal Churchill deliberately routed grains to feed his armies during world war 2. Prior to that, it was British policy to trigger famines, not incompetence.

During the Irish famine, again under British rule, the latter were exporting grains and other produce to England. It was not incompetence but malice.

Who is Ramachandran?

Churchill said that the Indian famines were the fault of Indians for "breeding like rabbits" and Stalin said that the Holodomor was the fault of Ukrainians for being "kulak saboteurs". The same dismissive and inhumane attitude shines through. They knew what was happening, they knew that they had the means to stop it, and they chose not to use them.

While he was saying that, he was exporting grain to feed his armies.

I'm glad to see that you view the two - Churchill and Stalin - as equally evil.

Same as Modi.
