Chapter 8 - Monarchs with ideas

Not to mention what Sikkim, Bhutan, that is the edge of the South Asian subcontinent, and Hyderabad as the current South Asia's largest state, occupying the central Deccan plateau, is a thriving North India must control the place, so as to be able to suppress most of the time outside the control of North India, South India.

The gap between the north and south of British India is much greater than that of China, the South Indian too Tamils have established the country several times, except for the Hindu faith, the North and South India does not have the same place.

If it was Alan Wilson in Nehru's position, it is not possible to acquiesce Hyderabad continued to be in an independent position.

"Now let's say that if, according to Arijana's idea, the two major religions each occupy the majority of this religion in the place of independent statehood, honored maharaja, if I take a simple religious division, you should certainly be inclined to Arijana, right?" Ellen Wilson pointed out Ali Khan's identity as a pacifist.

Ali Khan nodded and did not hide this point saying, "If these are the only two choices, I would certainly choose Arijana."

"That's a tough one!" Out of a pragmatic attitude, Alan Wilson gave Ali Khan a pessimistic analysis said, "Nehru is not going to let Hyderabad Tuba maintain the status quo, and the Maharaja control of Hyderabad Tuba, whether from the same religion of the northwestern provinces, or from the northeast of Bengal are far away, according to the worst outcome analysis, South Asia appeared religious war, you will be in the the midst of a Hindu siege, and would not be rescued by other peaceful believers, it is too far away."

Alan Wilson with practice to prove that there is no worst only worse, in front of the silent Ali Khan continued, "And Hyderabad earth state, Hindus occupy eighty percent, the peaceful religious is an absolute minority, once Nehru incited the Hindus to take a referendum, or whatever other way to find a reason, things are really difficult to do. To say one more thing, Junagadh Toa is similar to Hyderabad in terms of the situation that is right under this kind of projection."

Located in India's Kathiawar Peninsula and covering an area of about 50,000 square kilometers, the Junagadh Toa is similar to Hyderabad, with more than eighty percent of its inhabitants being Hindus and the monarch being a pacifist. Later, when the king of this native state decided to join Pakistan, the inhabitants of the native state strongly opposed it and riots broke out. The monarch fled to Pakistan, and India subsequently took over power in the state.

Kashmir, which later caused the Indo-Pakistani war, was the opposite: the king was a Hindu and most of the inhabitants were pacifists. Kashmir eventually became the trigger for the Indo-Pakistani war.

Before the British evacuation because of the problems of the native state, more than just a Kashmir problem, Hyderabad native state, Junagadh native state are the same problem with Kashmir, and finally only exploded Kashmir a mine has been considered Nehru wrist good.

That said, after independence, India is not prepared to talk to Pakistan, the monarch is a pacifist Hindus referendum with a numerical majority, the monarch is a Hindu said to respect the views of the monarch of the native state, yours is mine, mine or mine.

This attitude was applied in all places where India looked good, and it has continued into the twenty-first century.

"Must it be divided as Arijana wants? London could have continued to rule South Asia." Thinking about it, Ali Khan could not help but be annoyed, "can continue to maintain London's rule, is not the Churchill Prime Minister also this attitude?"

Alan Wilson silent, there is no way to answer this question, can not say that the earth has changed masters, now the United States and the Soviet Union have exceeded the strength of the British ragged aristocracy, Britain wants to maintain the rule in South Asia, certainly will not be allowed by the United States and the Soviet Union, the two countries are not looking at Britain like after World War I, slowly use British India to restore vitality.

After World War I, the British strength is still in a category with the United States, at that time the United States did not dare to gamble on the fate of the country and the British Empire to fight with all its might, only to return to the Americas to continue isolationism.

Today is different, the strength of the United States has exceeded the United Kingdom, definitely not like after World War I, was the British and French joint boycott on the default fact that the Suez Canal War, the British and French teamed up to finally drum up the majesty of the old imperialism, and finally ended up with what? At the same time by the United States and the Soviet Union to join forces to threaten!

But as the Commissioner of the British Empire in Hyderabad, Alan Wilson can not say that I have been unable to preserve the British military presence in South Asia, so where to put the face of the British Empire?

Thinking about the assertion of the London liberal imperialists spoke, "Now the Indian public generally has the idea of independence, protests and riots are rising, the annual revenue from British India, has not offset the expenses of operating in British India, London will not do a money-losing business."

This said Alan Wilson himself did not believe, although such voices have long existed, but if they can continue to rule South Asia, who will take the murmurings seriously? Protesting against reactionary wars while continuing them is something even the rebellious U.S. has played skillfully.

Pretending for a moment that London must respect public opinion and top the Hyderabad monarch's rhetorical question does not mean that he, the Hyderabad commissioner, is not prepared to do nothing until British India is on the verge of independence.

Ali Khan but has billions of dollars of property, which as long as a little to him as a commissioner, is the ordinary people can not earn a lifetime of figures, although Alan Wilson has dug the Indian Golden Temple, but money this thing who will be too much?

Furthermore, Alan Wilson, regardless of past lives, there are reasons for India to find trouble, the former life of things first, India and Pakistan from the general environment must be the interests of Hindus, which can not be changed.

Because from a larger macroscopic point of view, from being the Strait of Gibraltar all the way to Indonesia, is a wide range of peace religion world. If you look at the map of the world, you can see that post-independence India was an important part of the link that cut off the pacifist world.

If, on the other hand, post-independence South Asia had emerged as a pacifist powerhouse, the important cornerstone of the truncated pacifist world would no longer exist, and the small countries of the South Central Peninsula would not have been able to resist the pacifist crush. So the emergence of India with a predominantly Hindu population is good for the current world situation.

In turn an independent India could become the leading brother of the world of the religion of peace, which would be bad for any major power. It is important to know that the current outbreak in Europe began with the complete trampling of the pacifist world in the Middle East underfoot.

He believes that even the Soviet Union and countries that think like the Soviet Union want India to shoulder the responsibility of truncating the religion of peace.
