Gravitas: Radioactive Rotis: A colonial horror story

In 1960, at least 21 Indian-origin women were given radioactive chapatis as a part of a British experiment in London. Most of the women had newly immigrated to London and did not speak English. One British scientist roped them into a dangerous experiment. Molly Gambhir brings you the details.

They were uncivilized 500 years ago, they are still the same. They did not evolve much. They have learned very little from Indian wise and rich cilture.

And the Europeans and Americans are the people raise human right concerns ....they are just hypocrites...

[johnmwai]

Colonialists didn’t have Humanity in them at and they have audacity to preach about human rights and democracy.These astrocities we’re done even here in u.s.a where black males were laced with syphilis and were lied to that they were treated in hospitals.They studied with them watching the effects of syphilis till death.They operated on black men and women without anesthesia to see the effect of pain on these innocent beings.The mistresses of slave masters raped slave men and if you dare resist you were either castrated or killed.Basically inhuman astrocities we’re done by all wester countries including Belgium, France, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the whole of Europe.

Why not on British Women? But u said Urself South Asian Women have high Iron Defiency( which is still prevailing today)..
Humans were unaware of radioactivity related fatality in colonial era

[WilliamCooper-lf]

The person who first discovered and studied radiation, died from it, because people did not understand how deadly it was. Many doctors radiated their patients before this was finally figured out. So the reason the indian women were given doses of radiation, was pure ignorance of that time and not an act of malice.

This is disappointing journalism WION. It has been addressed bu History Debunked channel. Now find something useful and honourable to report.
