Do you need a work permit? viagra In the Twenties Churchill helped organise the repression of revolts in Iraq (not balking at using poison gas); and, though deploring the Amritsar massacre, he fiercely opposed the rise of Indian nationalism in general and Gandhi (whom he called “a half-naked fakir”) – in particular. He had a special horror of peace-loving Hindus, while respecting “warriors” like the Pathans and the Sikhs. Churchill’s wilderness years in the Thirties, when he fumed in frustrated exile on the back benches, says James, owed as much to his stubborn and futile rearguard battle against Indian independence as to his better known opposition to appeasing Hitler.
