Britain Still Won't Talk About Churchill& 3 Million Bengal Famine Deaths| Partition | India | Barkha

#london #india #immigration About This Story : The British Empire's legacy remains one of the most contested chapters in history—but why is it still so little understood in Britain itself? In this powerful conversation with Barkha Dutt at We the Women London, Sathnam Sanghera examines Britain's collective amnesia about empire, contrasting it with countries like Germany that have been forced to confront their past. From the trauma of Partition and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre to the Bengal Famine, Sanghera argues that generations of Britons were taught an incomplete version of imperial history—one centered on railways, law and governance, while overlooking exploitation, violence and colonial extraction. The discussion came at a time when Britain's imperial past is once again under intense scrutiny. Just days before this conversation, London's National Portrait Gallery removed an artwork by Turner Prize-winning artist Helen Cammock after it sparked controversy by referring to Winston Churchill's role in the 1943 Bengal Famine. The episode reignited a long-running historical debate over Britain's wartime policies during the famine, in which an estimated three million people died, and underscored the continuing sensitivity around how the legacy of empire is remembered in Britain today.
