SIR – As Cameron seeks to curry favour with the Indian government by apologising for the Amritsar Massacre in 1919, perhaps he should get a briefing from his Education Secretary.
Michael Gove wants us all to know more history. I share his view in the light of Cameron’s clearly lamentable knowledge of both the Sikh community and its history.
The Sikhs I and my UKIP colleagues listen to regularly emphasise that they are far more concerned by recent ill-treatment of their religious community by the current Indian government.
While in India, perhaps he would secure an apology for the Cawnpore Massacre and the ‘Black Hole of Calcutta’. Or are apologies only one way?
