Why this petition matters

India's secret history consists of holocaust where millions disappeared. Massacres, famines and the use of concentration camps by the British Empire were rampant in India during their rule, first by their East India company and later by their crown.

Some infamous massacres include
Jallianwala massacre:
When peaceful protesters defied a government order and demonstrated against British colonial rule in Amritsar, India, on 13 April 1919, they were blocked inside the walled Jallianwala Gardens and fired upon. 

The soldiers, under the orders of Brigadier Reginald Dyer, kept firing until they ran out of ammunition, killing between 379 and 1,000 protesters.  Brigadier Dyer was later lauded a hero by the British public, who raised £26,000 for him as a thank you.

Bengal famine:
Around 30 million Indians died of starvation while it was under the control of the British Empire, as millions of tons of wheat were exported to Britain as famine raged in India. 
Talking about the Bengal famine in 1943, Churchill said: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”

 

The purpose of the petition is to:

(1) commemorate the Indian Genocide through official recognition and remembrance;

(2) reject efforts to enlist or engage with denial of the Indian Genocide or any other genocide; and

(3) encourage education and public understanding of the facts of the Indian Genocide by the British Colonists and the relevance of the Indian Genocide to modern-day crimes against humanity.
