Chapter 29 India is a Good Place

"I'm also worried that Pamela is not used to living in British India." Patricia Mountbatten walked over to the couch and sat down, followed by a crisp spring sound that only oppressed could have produced.

In his previous life, when he was very young, Alan Wilson had seen this kind of spring sofa, but he didn't expect to see it again in London.

"At present, the war in Asia is still unclear, General Mountbatten is still busy, and Pamela is very comfortable." Alan Wilson organized the language, said a little bit about life in British India, and then said, "I am friends with Pamela, and this time I have returned to London from British India, and she has told me to bring a letter that I believe is full of her thoughts about the two ladies. ”

"As a mother, I should actually be by her side to take care of her. But the ambulance duty prevented me from going to India now. Edwina Ashley read the letter and spoke helplessly.

Edwina Ashley is responsible for training the UK's ambulance forces to carry out battlefield rescue. It's the time of the World War, and there are 60,000 people in this medical force! That's what Alan Wilson said, and he certainly couldn't understand the approachability of the Mountbattens.

"Madam, when I disembarked, I heard that a decisive battle had been fought in the European theater, and I believe that the citizens of the British Empire will usher in the news of the final victory in a short time, and you may not be so busy by then." Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly and said politely.

"I hope so!" Edwina Ashley nodded with a smile, because of her daughter's letter, she was in a pretty good mood, chatted with Alan Wilson a few more words, and asked about the situation in British India, "You have been working in British India for a short time, what kind of place is that." ”

In fact, Edwina Ashley did not know about British India, which surprised Alan Wilson, in other words, the other party may not know Nehru yet?

Ahem! How did you think of Nehru? But what if you think about it? He returned to Europe because of Nehru, in that case?

Alan Wilson, who had cleared his throat, frowned slightly, as if there was something unspeakable, and said with an ugly face, "In fact, the environment in British India is not as calm as the telegram says. Of course, this is not the case in New Delhi, and I used to work in Hyderabad, South India, so I can tell you a little bit about Indian society outside of New Delhi. ”

"Is the situation in British India bad?" Patricia Mountbatten asked with some concern when she saw this expression.

"New Delhi has a nice British quarter, and the Indian elite is nice, but from the perspective of India as a whole, it's a very divided society, and there are people everywhere who don't have enough to eat. Because of religion, vendettas are frequent, and India's upper echelons seem mild-mannered but turn a blind eye to the misery of the wider population. ”

As soon as Alan Wilson opened his mouth to speak, his mouth tended to be closed, and he buried the whole British Raj, especially in front of Edwina Ashley, who deliberately did so, and simply compared the British Raj to a big pit, which was not a metaphor, it was.

Who told him to do a good job in the princely state of Hyderabad, but Nehru had nothing to do but return to London with a pile of iron boxes? Even without himself, the wealth of the Indian people would be squandered, and Alan Wilson felt that it was better to give to others than to give to himself.

"Even in the area where the Indians live in Delhi, there is no order, and if you follow the words of the Governor of Bangladesh, the Indians will breed like cockroaches at any given time, even if they don't even know where they are for their next meal."

Alan Wilson, who adhered to the idea of this hatred, directly told Pamela Mountbatten's sister and mother the most real side of British India.

"It turned out to be such a place, and my father still worked a little hard there." Patricia Mountbatten looked at her mother in some surprise, "It's fortunate that my father and sister live in an English settlement, otherwise it would be unimaginable." ”

"It's all the good things that are said on telegram." Edwina Ashley was also a little frightened, "I didn't expect British India to be such a place, I thought it was a good place." ”

"Dear Madam, it is only a matter of great importance to the British Empire because of the large population of British India, which uses cheap labour to produce agricultural products for the local and as a marketing ground for the local industry. But this kind of goodness is supported by an unimaginable population, you can imagine that the population of British India is ten times that of the native, and with only half of the data of the local tax revenue, you can know what kind of life the locals live, because I have worked in British India, I am not willing to talk about the life of the people at the bottom. ”

Alan Wilson, after counting the British Raj, said that this was not his goal, and passed the blame.

"I'm really worried about my husband and daughter right now." Edwina Ashley smiled and thanked Alan Wilson, "Pamela mentioned you in the letter, you are friends." It's amazing that you've become a district commissioner. ”

"It's just work." Alan Wilson is also not modest, and he has nothing to inflate compared to Mountbatten's British dragon arrogance.

As long as Edwina Ashley made a first impression in front of the other party before he went to India, stigmatizing British India, and having such a mentality, even if Edwina Ashley went to India later, he would seek to verify the true situation of British India.

Even so, Alan Wilson still felt that it was not enough, and almost forgot the most important thing, and said seriously, "According to our statistics, the social environment in British India is especially unfriendly to women, Indian men will stare at light-skinned women, ordinary Indian men are extremely narcissistic, feel good about themselves, exaggerated expressions when talking to women, words and deeds are very frivolous, crimes against women are too common, Pamela lives in the British residential area and does not feel this, I have said similar things to her." ”

"That's what happened!" Edwina Ashley frowned, her perception of British India was already extremely poor. Even with Patricia Mountbatten, both of whom were women, were extremely disgusted by the environment.

In Alan Wilson's mouth, British India was a poor, smelly one that treated women like hell...... Hell.

Directly before the two went to British India and joined Mountbatten, who was about to become the viceroy of India, they stigmatized India.

Alan Wilson, who had done all this, was so cool that he even wanted to give his middle finger in the direction of India, especially Nehru.
