Churchill was Britain's saviour against Hitler whose troops would have crushed Britain, but Churchill's war diplomacy turned Hitler towards Soviet Union .
Its two pronged outcome  became an epoch making event. Britain was saved and the German troops were devoured by, not the Russians, but by the Siberian terrains which the German troops failed to endure.
The above story or episode is neither news nor information, but is indeed a backdrop in which the wisdom or imprudence, whatever one may opine it to be, of the Britons must be seen. After the war had been won, Churchill emerged  as a Hero, like  Gandhi, Nehru, and many more. had emerged after India won its battle against the British rule.
But see the prudence or imprudence of the Britons and the Indians in their respective post-war and post-independence phase.
Churchill as a war leader wouldn't suit Britain's peace time governance, was how Britons mandated.
Indians did just the opposite, and they continue to stick to the same reverential view toward those who chased the. British away by a peaceful means, and earned India its freedom which would have eluded it for everlasting years to come.
Coming back to Churchill, who had detested India getting freedom, to consequentially become slaves in the captive hands of scoundrels, is thus relevant, in two ways.
Churchill's presentiments prove him to be a statesman with or without a foresight?
Britons exhibited wisdom or imprudence, in going the India way in continuing to revere the leaders who espoused the freedom struggle, rightly or wrongly considering them competent even on offering good governance.
Facts are sacred, opinions are free. But a misconceived public opinion is that which predicates either emancipation or doom for a nation.
