Our research finds that Britain’s exploitative policies were associated with approximately 100 million excess deaths during the 1881-1920 period. This is a straightforward case for reparations, with strong precedent in international law. Following World War II, Germany signed reparations agreements to compensate the victims of the Holocaust and more recently agreed to pay reparations to Namibia for colonial crimes perpetrated there in the early 1900s. In the wake of apartheid, South Africa paid reparations to people who had been terrorised by the white-minority government.
Churchill was no fool and believed Britain had to exploit Hindu-Muslim differences. In a Cabinet meeting he once said “that he did not share the anxiety to encourage and promote unity between the Hindu and Moslem communities. Such a unity was, in fact, almost out of the realm of practical politics, while, if it were to be brought about, the immediate result would be that the united communities would join in showing us the door. He regarded the Hindu/Moslem feud as a bulwark of British rule in India.”
More recent reports suggest a surge in assaults specifically aimed at Hindus in Bangladesh. These attacks encompass acts of physical aggression, destruction of temples, and intimidation of Hindu persons. According to a 2023 report by the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, there has been a significant increase in instances of violence targeting Hindus, with more than 50 significant assaults documented in the previous year alone (Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 2023). Frequent outbreaks of violence occur during religious holidays or periods of political turmoil, underscoring a concerning pattern of deliberate hostility.

“Bharat Mata, Bhumi Devi cause scabies. So, we wear shoes so that Bharat Mata can’t contaminate us” ~ Catholic priest George Ponnaiah in 2021.
