Before considering the possibility of a hypothetical German genocide of indians, people should not forget the famines of Vangal. They were in no way less than the genocides of Germans or Russians. Even as the Germans were killing their victims, their linguistic cousins the Britons killed about a 3*10^6 in Bengal. This was a deliberate british action despite their own high-ranking official Mountbatten bringing attention to it.
On the whole the through out their reign the british caused deliberate starvations - up to 25 famines- throughout the land like in Tamilnad and Bihar which some people believe resulted in deaths as high as 30-40*10^6 Hindus and ruined agriculture in many parts of the country. Eventhough the Mogols Shah Jahan and Awrangzeb, and before them Alla-ad-din, Mohammad Tuglaq and the Bahmanid sultans followed similar policies the British actually out did them. Hitler's massacres pale in comparison to the whole and Churchill is as much a criminal against humanity. Now it is the duty of Indians to drive home this point of the Indian genocide by the British.
