What was Stalin's weakness?
Examples include the five-year plans and collectivization. Many of his deeds can be success or failures depending on how you look at it. An example is his modernization program. He succeeded in modernizing the Soviet Union, but at a terrible human cost. So you can say he succeeded because the USSR is modernized or you can say he failed because he caused many to lose their lives.The answer above deserves to be seen and the contributor gave a good honest answer, however, the question was about Stalin's failures, which many historians, and communists in Russia, would agree are legion. Here's why:After Lenin's unexpected and premature death in 1924, Stalin soon earned the reputation of being one of the most powerful and murderous dictators in history. He became dictator by killing off all the other communist leaders that stood in his way. In terms of suggesting that Stalin succeeded because he modernized the USSR cannot hold water if the cost of modernization was the loss of lives. Modernization is never worth it at the cost of murdering people.The first victims of the Bolsheviks were people against the Revolution. These people were bent on killing the Bolsheviks so it's to be expected that counter revolutionaries' lives would be lost and yes in the counter revolution, there were Bolshevik deaths. But now we must jump to 1924 when Lenin died and Stalin became dictator.Stalin's forced collectivism of the Kulaks in the Ukraine and peasant Russian farmers cost millions of lives.Stalin's next set of victims were Marxist - Communists who, like the murdered Leon Trotsky, once head of the Red Army, Stalin had to destroy. In the 1930's his rule even has a name "The Great Terror". Then anyone Stalin believed were his political enemies, were executed and this included mostly communists. Khrushchev himself admitted to signing off on the death warrants of 30,000 "enemies of the State".In 1938-9 The British & French sought a treaty with Stalin against Hitler. Stalin chose instead to join Hitler in the German-Soviet Non Aggression Pact. The pact had a secret clause. If Germany was to invade Poland, Stalin could "occupy" the eastern half of Poland.WW2 began and Russia occupied the eastern half of Poland. That was not the worst of it. As Gorbachev revealed in the secret KGB files in the late 1980's what Poland knew all along was true. The KGB took 15,000 Polish Army officers into custody and executed them all.After WW2, The Soviet Union built what Churchill called the "Iron Curtain"Almost 1/2 of Europe became communist nations. This was not some "popular" election, it was done with the armed force of the Red Army.As we know, Stalin's body was removed from the tomb with Lenin in Red Square. They placed him in a wall somewhere. In 1960-1 Premier Nikita Khrushchev revealed to the Soviet Politburo all of Stalin's crimes against humanity and Stalin was condemned by the Party.
Why Syed Ahmed Khan was accused for being pro british?
After the War of Independence in 1857, sir Syed started working to bridge the gap between Muslims and British but he was accused of being pro-British. This perception was due to some reasons. When the war of 1857 had broke out, sir Syed was working as a chief judge in Bijnaur. He saved the lives of many British women and children. This made the Muslims unhappy and they labeled him as a traitor. Another thing which may have become the reason was that he advocated scientific ideas and western education. In his Urdu journal Tahdbib-ul-Akhlaq he asked Muslims to gain scientific knowledge and western education whereas the Muslims at that time considered scientific education as un-Islamic. Thirdly he advocated English as the medium of education and that Muslims could only get their right when they will know how to speak English. Also to counter the Hindus, they would have to know how to speak English. These reasons may well support that why was Sir Syed Ahmad accused of being pro-British.
