Just as I was headed to where 2.0, I saw the headline about richard nixon calling indira gandhi an old witch. I was just curious to follow up and checked out the actual transcripts. Here’s some specific text where richard nixon, wished that indian people were struck by “mass famine”.


Kissinger: They’re such bastards.

Nixon: A mass famine. But they aren’t going to get that. We’re going to feed them—a new kind of wheat. But if they’re not going to have a famine the last thing they need is another war. Let the goddamn Indians fight a war [unclear].

Kissinger: They are the most aggressive goddamn people around there.

Nixon: The Indians?

Kissinger: Yeah.

Nixon: Sure.

I guess, i am ok somewhat ok with the name calling of a nation’s leader. But wishing that a billion people die of famine? Whoa!
I am sure this has a lot of other controversial stuff, but i don’t have time to get into it right now
