After the first socially toxic beating of these college students who had just left school and entered society, Alan Wilson continued, "Ever since we entered South Asia, the Hyderabad Turks have always appeared as our British ally, helping us defeat the Maratha Empire back when Hyderabad was still called Nissam. In all three Maratha wars, Hyderabad sent troops to help the expeditionary force achieve decisive victories, as did the four Mysore wars. Even the Great Indian Revolt of 1857, after which our relations with Hyderabad have been amicable until now."
After the Great Indian Revolt, British India was not in the goal of annexation by encroachment, it can be said that the Indian princes at that time only plus the Great Indian Revolt somehow achieved the purpose, of course, the biggest beneficiary, is the Hyderabad native states that have been appearing as British allies, in Maratha and Mysore than Hyderabad powerful native forces were eliminated, Hyderabad became the most powerful one left in the Indian princes.
And before that, the East India Company's operation, is to find trouble with these native states on the pretext that the other party does not have an heir to confiscate each other's land, or find some other excuse to keep annexing the land of these native states directly management.
This means is very similar to the Ming and Qing dynasties, are trying to find ways to the land of these native states, under the management of the East India Company, and in India after the Great Uprising, the reversion to the flow is even stopped, the formation of the current pattern of more than 500 native states in South Asia.
Before leaving, just entered the British civil service, or a rookie Alan Wilson, to more than his own rookie assistants, a profound ideological education, Hyderabad Commissioner in a sense is considered an adviser, in front of Mir Osman Ali Khan, is not qualified to pretend to be a skyrocket.
If in ordinary times, the Hyderabad commissioner is almost no different from the dispatch, in front of the Hyderabad monarch can be easily ignored, and London will not be displeased because a commissioner was ignored, what to do with the most powerful monarch of the earth state in British India nowadays, but now is different, at least Alan Wilson think different.
It was true that the British were superior in British India, but the lines of class and nationality were not entirely unbreakable, depending on whom they were directed against.
It was now 1945, and Allen Wilson had no bright ideas to help British India continue to exist. It wasn't exactly that he hadn't thought of it, but it was all in his dreams.
At this sensitive point in time, the British withdrawal from South Asia was the general trend, and he thought he could do a lot, both in terms of private interests and on a larger scale to play a positive role. As for the process may appear a small sacrifice, it is necessary for the great Indian people to bear more.
Even his own cheap father, because of a little change in history, became a straightforward operation of the Bengal famine, in the Indian people's situation snowballed at this level, Alan Wilson a little more effort is nothing.
A few days away from going to Hyderabad to take up his post, as the new Hyderabad commissioner, Alan Wilson, instead of reporting respect for the huge people of British India, as he said he would, turned his head and planned a route.
"That city along the Ganges is densely populated and has certain industrial facilities?"
Sir Barron was froze by Alan Wilson's question, how this young man was not anxious to go to Hyderabad to take up his post, but asked up such an unanswered question.
"The Central and United Provinces are the most densely populated places in South Asia." Sir Barron replied in disbelief, "Alan, what are you asking about this, Hyderabad is in South India."
"Sir Barron, I was just doing the math on what route would be appropriate." Alan Wilson replied with a light smile, in fact, this is just a selfishness of his, is to see the real landscape of the Ganges River, is not like the latter day as inaccessible, there is nothing in it all kinds of pollutants, as well as corpses.
This is also for the sake of the British Empire, although in the process of independence of British India, the British mainland public opinion he did not know, but according to common sense, the world's three giants of the United Kingdom, the independence of India is certainly a public opinion backlash.
If this public opinion backlash, Alan has a not very on the table trick, he remembered the famous Ganges floating corpse, the set of photos is not only famous in China, but widely circulated in countries around the world.
If we look at it from the point of view of cultural attacks, the set of photos of the floating corpses of the Ganges, almost the entire dignity of the Indian people are trampled underfoot, in together with the important position of the Ganges in Hinduism, almost brought a huge negative impact on India as a country.
Together with the fermenting Indian rape a few years later, and the subject of toilets, nailed the whole of India to the pillar of shame.
This way, after British India lost control, Alan Wilson could use the information gathered to make public opinion on British soil a little more acceptable and win the war of public opinion.
As long as it showed that it was not Great Britain that did not give a damn, but that India was rotten, and that Britain really could not continue to waste time in that cesspool, it gave the British mainland a psychological comfort that independence from India was not difficult to accept on a moral level.
Unfortunately, until Alan Wilson departed, still did not find themselves in the upper Ganges River scenery, good thing there are still two years of time, Alan is not particularly anxious.
Leaving New Delhi on the train Alan Wilson, is officially opened his career as a civil servant, has not yet arrived in Hyderabad, has been the local monarch of the Mir Osman Ali Khan information in mind.
Ali Khan was small and dried up, not like a rich man no matter how you look at it, his "frugality" is also known far and wide. He has only worn a Feis cap in his life, usually wear are also tattered loose pants.
Every time he ate, he licked his plate clean. His bedroom could not be called a bedroom, it was full of waste paper baskets, with a straw mat in the middle. However, this is such a person so stingy to himself, but is a veritable world's richest man.
Some people, though rich, show no love of wealth. Alan Wilson is not connoting who, do not love money can like other things, from Ali Khan's later experience he knew, this Hyderabad monarch, in fact, understand that all wealth is built on power, find ways to make Hyderabad in an independent position.
Only in the end, he was no match for Nehru, the leader of the Congress Party, and the independence attempt was finally crushed. In the final analysis, Mir Usman Ali Khan was a pacifist, and if his native state and Kashmir had been swapped, the ending would have been much better.
Before reaching Hyderabad and before leaving North India, at a railway station, Alan Wilson and his party had to stop for a day, and after inquiring, they learned that it was the local pacifists and Hindus who were fighting in arms.
