Chapter 195: The Code of Indian Wealth
"If you're a very expert in the feminist movement, it has a lot to do with the New Culture Movement that you're advocating. Allan! John's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly, and said with a knowing smile, "I don't know if this will be your help." ”
Alan Wilson looked thoughtful, as if, probably, as if, what Commissioner Junagad in front of him had a point.
Although Peswick Lawrence, as a minister of Indian affairs, can be said to be a layman, he is good at advocating for women's rights, and if he can guide him without permission, he may be able to help the New Culture Movement.
Alan Wilson had not been in contact with the feminists of this era, and he did not know what was going on in their minds. But in British India, even if you are not a feminist, you are qualified to judge.
"Looks like I'm going to have to double down on my efforts." Alan Wilson picked up his glass and touched it with the commissioner of the princely states of Junagadh, and then he skipped the matter and asked about the recent work, especially the recent princely princes of various places, what they thought of the great construction of British India.
Of course, the Congress Party welcomes it, and the Muslim League only pays lip service to it, so what is the attitude of the allies of the British Empire, the princely states everywhere.
Salaman Khan did not show any inclination, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the princely states. But Alan, aren't you afraid that this kind of action will lead to an imbalance in the balance of power? Once the Kolkata Industrial Zone is completed, the balance of power between the provinces and the princely states will be even more unbalanced. John frowned, "Of course, I have no intention of opposing this, after all, the local needs this project." ”
Is it a contrast imbalance, or is it a rebalancing? It doesn't have to be what it will turn out to be!
However, Alan Wilson could not say that the industrial zone of Kolkata would collapse with the Muslim League. If it were to be preached, wouldn't it be unfair to the vast number of pacifists in British India?
Alan Wilson could not do that, and as a pure assistant commissioner, he wanted to ensure that a bowl of water was in order, especially for the interests of the minority, which was in line with British tradition in the subcontinent.
But this dinner was still rewarding, and without John's reminder, Alan Wilson had not yet expected to be supported in the field that the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs excelled in.
Before World War I, the feminist movement in Britain was mainly for political participation, and due to the development of the British Industrial Revolution, more women participated in industrial labor and social activities, and first launched a movement for political rights.
At the same time, the Women's Suffrage League, led by Mrs. Fawcett, opposes the use of violence in political campaigns and advocates a legal form of struggle, believing that only in this way can the goal of gaining women's suffrage in politics be achieved.
And Pesik-Lawrence, the current Secretary of State for India, is very good at this, and he even knows all kinds of feminist activists from before the First World War to the present, and he is a complete expert in the emancipation of women.
Only God knows how Peswick Lawrence became the current Minister of Indian Affairs, but Alan Wilson, who was waiting in Mumbai, was ready to talk to the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs about women's emancipation.
On 18 February, a cabinet mission led by Sir Peswick Lawrence, Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, finally arrived in Mumbai, the finest port city in British India.
Long before Peswick Lawrence arrived in British India, the British Indian community was very much looking forward to this visit to the Cabinet Mission, which is different from history, and the Bombay Sailors Uprising did not happen.
Since Alan Wilson arrived in British India, there has been a tremendous change in propaganda, which has to have a different emphasis in different places, and in the case of British India, it is not possible to teach science to a broad illiterate population.
The assistant commissioner, who got inspiration from the Modi Lao Immortal in India in later generations, felt that he had found the wealth code of British India, and in the final analysis, we India is too powerful!
Based on the Mahabharata Sutra, a number of statements that seem very anti-intellectual, but will certainly be accepted by the illiterate group of Hindus, including but not limited to, "plastic surgery" in ancient India, where Ganesha-headed God was created by transplanting the head of an elephant into a human body using plastic surgery techniques. And the Indians have long since invented airplanes.
It is not enough to be anti-intellectual, but also to add some real contributions to it to achieve the effect that it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false.
The world's first heliocentric theory was proposed – from the Āriyavidātra, and the most famous medical works are the Sharāṇṇa and the Wonders, which are the earliest herbal books in history.
Buddhist texts say that things exist only for a moment, and at the next moment they are replaced by a copy of themselves. This is similar to the frame-by-frame playback in today's film technology.
So, here with Alan Wilson, who is too powerful in our India, this is the ironclad proof that India invented the movie.
Since the beginning of the New Year, the newspapers that have been controlled by the hostile Viceroyalty of British India have increased in sales, and have even caused a wave of Indian newspapers everywhere, which are good at finding certain similar accounts of modern society in ancient texts, so as to prove the greatness of ancient India.
At this time, the so-called sober people are traitors in the eyes of many Indians, and it is clear that our India is so great, and some people are inferior.
As for what the pacifists thought of the Hindu performances, this is not something that Alan Wilson can speculate.
Upon its arrival in Mumbai, the Cabinet Mission, led by Peswick Lawrence, was warmly welcomed by the citizens of Mumbai, who numbered nearly 200,000 citizens. It is hard to imagine that at the same time in real history, the same 200,000 Mumbai citizens were marching in support of the uprising of the Bombay sailors.
History is so wonderful that even Pesik-Lawrence, a veteran supporter of the women's liberation movement and now Minister of British India, was shocked by what he saw.
"It seems that Sir Barron was right in his telegram, and that the situation in British India was very peaceful at present. But what's the deal with the constant mutiny of soldiers? Peswick Lawrence asked Alan Wilson, who came over to greet him.
"Honorable Chancellor, this is not a contradiction." Alan Wilson muttered for a moment and said, "The real situation in British India at the moment is indeed both danger and opportunity, and what we can do is to try to prevent the irreversible outcome of things, so that British India can contribute to Britain as much as possible, but no one knows how much time there is left to support the homeland." ”
"There is always news of mutiny, that these Indian soldiers and the British Empire are no longer of the same mind, although there is no mutiny that spreads and cannot be contained, but the danger is there, and I don't know when it will happen."
"As for the attitude of the two biggest forces, the Congress Party and the Muslim League, I can only inform the minister of the real situation before meeting with the leaders of the two forces." Speaking to Indian Minister Persik Lawrence, Alan Wilson explained the real situation in British India at present, "It is difficult to say what the difference between the two parties is, because the two parties are the same in their pursuit of independence, but they are only temporarily blinded by the great construction plan." ”
"In other words, in the long run, British India will inevitably become independent?" Peswick Lawrence lowered his voice and asked in a solemn tone, "Is it really inevitable?" ”
"I think the minister will know when he arrives at Nehru and Ali Jinnah, and his attitude is much more resolute than I said." Alan Wilson said helplessly, "At the moment, we are just constantly releasing news to attract the attention of ordinary people and make most Indians fall into fake news, but how long this method can last, it's really hard to say?" ”
Peswick Lawrence became interested and asked Alan Wilson what exactly he was going to do? Then he regretted it, and upheld that our Indian assistant commissioner is too good, saying that India invented the telephone, invented the movie, invented the airplane, and at the same time appeared a variety of religions to lead the world in heart and soul.
Peswick Lawrence was taken aback, it was hard to imagine that Alan Wilson, who had just behaved very decently, would say such anti-intellectual words, it was not the first time he had seen Alan Wilson, in the Indian Office building in London, he had seen this civil servant who was about to return to British India, Alan Wilson at that time, behaved decently and impressively, how could it be like this?
"Indians believe it too?" Peswick Lawrence asked rhetorically in disbelief, "What are their heads thinking?" ”
"A lot of Indians don't even know they're alive, so it's not surprising that with such a simplistic mind, this kind of wishful thinking has emerged." Alan Wilson smiled bitterly, "The effect is very good, India's glorious history has resonated with many Indians, but in the long run, this will only make Indians more and more inflated, and the short-term effect will only make the future days more difficult." ”
But now there is no good way but to divert the contradictions. Alan, the paste-maker, has done everything he can. Perhaps knowing that the Secretary of State for India did not like to hear about it, Alan Wilson turned to something lighter
Turning around, it slowly shifted to Peswick Lawrence's very expert topic, emancipating women.
"Is Alan also interested in protecting women's rights?" Peswick Lawrence was really interested, and he was good at it.
"From Paris to Bonn to British India, the care for women has always been with me." Alan Wilson's face was grim and replied solemnly.
