Churchill, Mahindra said, remarked about the calibre of Indians, which, he further pointed out, has proven to be wrong.

Men of straw

“Churchill supposedly said “…all Indian leaders will be of low calibre & men of straw.” Today, during the 75th year of our Independence, we’re poised to see a man of Indian origin anointed as PM of the UK. Life is beautiful…,” Mahindra wrote on Twitter.

Britain`s Conservative party leader Rishi Sunak became the first Indian-origin Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on Monday. Sunak was born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent who migrated to Britain from East Africa. An Oxford, and Stanford University alumnae, Sunak is famously married to Akshata Murty, the daughter of NR Narayana Murthy, the billionaire businessman who founded Infosys.

Full statement

Here’s the statement attributed to Churchill, made in British Parliament: “If Independence is granted to India, power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed in India.”

Meanwhile, with over 70,000 likes and about 10,000 retweets, Mahindra’s tweet on Sunak’s appointment drew a huge response. Social media users have been calling the historical event – the former colonial country’s “karma” – as many wished the UK a “happy Diwali” following the political development. “I have also emailed ‘List of Top Indian Origin CEOs in American Companies’ to Winston Churchill just now in case,” a user wrote jokingly in response to Mahindra’s tweet.
