Closed petition Apologise to the people of India for the atrocities carried out by the Empire
Closed on
An Indian MP described Britain's attitude to the horrors of the Empire as "historical amnesia". 100s of people were massacred in Amritsar, 3 million deliberately starved to death in Bengal & vast produce/resources looted. An apology can help Britain atone for its collective historic moral failure.
