On this day in 1955, Cuban๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ revolutionary Fidel Castro starts the 26th of July Movement, (named after the date of attack on the Moncada Barracks), the organisation that would be the vanguard of the Cuban revolution.

In 1979 when visiting New York, facing CIA assassination threats, Fidel was asked if he wears a bulletproof vest, he showed his bare chest and replied he wears a moral vest which is strong and has protected him always. Fidel survived 634 assassination attempts.

On this day in 1926, Cuban๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ Revolutionary Fidel Castro was born. He would lead a campaign to overthrow the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Before the revolution, US financial interests owned 90% of Cubaโ€™s mines, 80% of public utilities, 50% of railways, 40% of sugar production & 25% of bank deposits.

In the first 30 months after Castro came to power, more classrooms were built in those 30 months than had been built in the previous 30 years. Within the first 6 months , 600 miles of road had been built across the island, while $300 million was spent on water and sanitation schemes. Over 800 houses were constructed every month in the early years of the administration in a measure to cut homelessness.

Cuban healthcare was nationalised and expanded, bringing free healthcare access to millions. Universal vaccination for childhood diseases was introduced, leading to infant mortality rates plummeting. Since 1963, more than 600K Cuban health workers have provided medical services in more than 160 countries.

Julian Assange:

โ€œA great number of those working for liberal causes are not only shy but borderline collusive. They want change to happen nicely, and it won't. They want decency to come about without anybody suffering or being embarrassed, and it won't. And most of all they want to give many of the enemies of open government the benefit of the doubt, and I don't. It's not just a difference of approach, it's a complete schism in our respective philosophy. You can't go about disclosure in the hope that it won't spoil anybody's dinner.โ€

On this day in 1947, Britain๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง partitioned India๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ to create the new states of India and Pakistan.

For decades, Britain fuelled religious tensions between Hindus & Muslims to undermine the Indian independence movement with divide and rule tactics, placing an emphasis on religion and caste like never before. Britainโ€™s disastrous partition of India led to 1 million people being killed in the violence and mass migration. 10-20 million people were displaced.

Winston Churchill backed the plan to partition the country, believing that an Islamic Pakistan would serve as a loyal Western vassal against the Soviet Union and a socialist India.

In a further disaster of partition, Britain drew Pakistanโ€™s borders to include Bangladesh. With Pakistanโ€™s Jinnah set on enforcing Urdu as the sole national language, the effort to suppress Bengali and treating Bengalis as second-class citizens would boil over less than 2 decades later in 1971 when Pakistanโ€™s Army would commit a genocide against Bangladesh, killing 3 million
