"All indian leaders will be of low caliber...." If you are trying to make a point about lack of development in India, you should probably not start off with a racist comment from Churchill. Churchill advocated British imperialism, and therefore his opinions regarding the colonies are often geared towards justifying imperialism.

No he was talking about leadership. If you replace 'All' with 'Most' in his sentance you can see he was very right!

great reply man. Author have seen limited world... Mr Venkat, do you know india and china used to contribute 40% of world GDP till 1726. It s only after British rule (stronger hold after 1726), Indian economy deterioted to this extent. No doubt we have hell lots of problems...and one main factors all people do not participate in election (thats why rotten leaders), but we have achieved enough withon 50 years on independence. Only country which remind of better growth - Japan (even after disaster - second war, they came to rule world economically ... but they were king and went down for small time only 1945 post period). indian blood has been sucked not years, deacades but centuries and 1000 years (since muslim attack 1100AD period).
it takes time to recover... but I agree we can achieve much better growth rate than curent one.

It is our leaders directly, we indirectly, have made this racist comment of Churchill a 100% truth
