Robert Clive - Shropshire's Empire Builder Part 3

» sks123 - CLive and his misdeeds in India

Britishers may be happy about the misdeeds of so called Lord Clive. What Lord Clive did in India, only Islamic fundamentalism has done in the initial years of their invasion of important part of the world like Iran and other middle east countries etc. After winning the battle of plassey, Clive hanged thousands of man, women and children on the branches of trees in various villages in Bengal to create terror in the minds of people of India. We do not think, he was from a civilized society. He was sort of decoit and a demon. This is the reason perhaps under one PIL in British court, he was accused of such misdeeds. He committed suicide to avoid the sufferings of his miscreation in India.

Hi,

Whilst I have to agree that some of the actions that Clive took in India would be completely unacceptable today I do feel that there is a modern trend in history to try and apply our modern moral code to the past. This will in many cases put the actions of the past in a very bad light. The actions of historical figures must be placed in context before any evaluation can be made.
Regards,
John Neill

Clive killed, murdered and tortured by the thousands. His soul, if he had any, will never rest in peace. The Almighty has his strange but effective ways to correct anamolies in life.
