India is about to attain economic superpower status and it’s unbecoming for the country still to try to cling to victimhood status. The Times of India has had to run headlines such as: "Don’t Blame West for Molestations, Rapes Here." (The paper also has adverts for "upper-caste brides" in its lonely hearts column.) With regard to Churchill, it’s the sign of a self-confident people that they can ascribe greatness to those who disliked them. We Britons do that for the anglophobic Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon Bonaparte and Charles de Gaulle.
