It’s interesting how Machiavellian Gandhi was at times such as when he almost sided with Japan when he was planning the Quit India movement. Jinnah of course gave full support to the British during WWII and that had repercussions later as we all know. https://t.co/i7kiImpSeC https://t.co/Q7FnUjV7jt

@LFriszt This stat is actually hard to look up. The literacy stat I’ve seen floating around (literacy defined as writing your own name) is around 36%. China’s literacy was around 20% in 1949. https://t.co/M11QmrJ7Y6

India gets unfairly maligned by a lot of idiots on Twitter as Anglo sycophants but I think the past century has shown that they are anything but that. Nehru signed a separate peace treaty with Japan since he wanted to treat Japan with dignity. https://t.co/b7eHxffX31
