@10DowningStreet must not forget how Indian govt & its political leaders desecrated the graves of people with British Ancestry including soldiers & doctors

@BACSA_news should take this matter with the Govt before new deals are signed upon the desecrated graves

Indian state has failed to keep the promises that they made during the negotiations of Independence

& have orchestrated massive human rights abuses upon the friends & allies of the British People

Businesses of tomorrow cannot be built upon the insults & abuses of past & present

Especially the case for Sikh Independence, British Crown had political alliance with the Princely States of Panjab & the Dominion of State of Punjab
The residents of which were hunted down & massacred by the Indian State & its proxies after the British left the subcontinent

I hope @10DowningStreet doesn’t signs the deals & further insults the desecrated graves & alliances of the forgotten allies of the British people by further strengthening the abuser

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily Some of the famous Incidents where Indians desecrated European graves

In Calcutta the historic South Park Street Cemetery
home to graves of British officials & soldiers from the 18th-19th centuries was looted
Tombs were smashed, iron railings stolen for scrap,

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily & stones repurposed for tools A stark act of erasure.

Indians under the influence of its political system & officials conducted these attacks

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily 1960s Statue Purge Extends to Graves:

In a wave of Nationalization , India removed British statues, but graves suffered too. In Delhi's Coronation Grounds, statues of Queen Victoria and King George V were toppled and left to rot amid rubble

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily nearby British memorials were defaced with graffiti and neglected into decay. Apathy turned to active trashing.

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily Abandoned Necropolises:
Across rural India, like in Cuddapah district, European tombs from the 1800s (British officers and families) were vandalized post-1947. Locals broke into graves hunting for "treasures," shattering slabs and scattering remains.

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily One report notes a full tomb vanishing - stones used for plows. Neglect by communities sealed their fate.

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily Sewage Submersion in Bihar:

In Motihari, a provincial town in Bihar, the British-era graveyard - containing remains of colonial soldiers and officials -has been submerged under a foot-deep tide of raw sewage from overflowing drains and poor urban planning

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily Graves are literally drowned in waste, a modern desecration by neglect and infrastructure failure.

[Source: The Telegraph, 2005 report on colonial graves]

Across all major cities Burial grounds were purposely desecrated by routing sewage on them
And at times encroaching lands

@10DowningStreet @RoyalFamily Now @10DowningStreet must think & justify to British People if they really want to go to them who desecrated the graves of their ancestors and made sure nobody even know about it
