JAIMINI CHARA DASHA - WINSTON CHURCHILL-THE DOGGED WAR HERO (30 NOV 1874 to 7 APRIL 1954)

The most overrated man of the twentieth century was Winston Churchill whose claim to greatness lay only on his war speeches: the second world war was won  by the Soviet troops of Stalin which advanced towards Berlin leading to the suicide of Hitler: it swung against Germany when USA entered the war after the Pearl Harbor incident but it is Churchill on  whom British history bestowed greatness and immortality. That is a quirk of destiny and of whimsical history of the twentieth century.  The British electorate knew his worthlessness for peace time national effort for rebuilding battered Britain and voted him out of power in 1945. Clement Atlee who became the British prime minister in 1945 has been voted by some professors as the greatest prime minister of UK of the twentieth century. Yet, it is Churchill who is remembered and not Atlee by the later generations                   

Saturn the Matrikaraka of Churchill in the fifth house from the lagna is aspecting the Putrakaraka Sun along with the Atmakaraka in the third house giving him his that doggedness and inflexibility and courage to inspire England in the difficult days of second world war. And it is an excellent Jaimini rajayoga.

The same doggedness led to his very unpleasant outbursts against Mahatma Gandhi and India’s freedom struggle. The immortal hero for England was also the most hated figure for India’s patriots in the days of liberation struggle. Generations Indians remembered his outburst “India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.”

Though this obstinacy and heroism operated all through his life, three periods are significant: the first in childhood Kanya (1874 to 1885), later during the Second World War (part of Karka mahadasha from 1940 to 1951 and last part of Simha dasha (1951 to 1960).

Kanya ( 1874 to 1885) Childhood

It is clear that from his early childhood this doggedness made appearance in his life, as here from the fifth house-third house mutual influences between Matrikaraka and Putrakaraka manifested. http://www.twilightbridge.com/icons1/winstonchurchill.htm

From the Internet         

“Winston's childhood was privileged but not particularly happy. Like many Victorian parents, Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill were distant figures. Letters from his schooldays reveal a willful and somewhat rebellious little boy. “

The Churchill we in India of our generation in sub teens became aware of was the Churchill of his Karka dasha. The full bloom and might of a disbalanced mind ignoring history which shows lessons of vanished empires were forgotten by him. “Leo Amery, his long-suffering secretary of state for India, recorded many Churchillian moments in his diary. One from September 1942 reads: "During my talk with Winston he burst out with, 'I hate Indians. They are a beastly people ....'."
         

And we hated him as a beastly imperialist. He was opposed to Mahatma Gandhi, to Indian independence movement in the 1930s and had disliked the Round Table Conference. He wanted Mahatma Gandhi to die if he went on a hunger strike, was opposed to granting even Dominion status to India and even said, "Gandhi-ism and everything it stands for will have to be grappled with and crushed."

We remembered his famous utterance “I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire. “

War Hero Karaka mahadasha (1940-51)         

“When the German armies conquered France and Britain faced the Blitz, Churchill embodied his country's will to resist. His oratory proved an inspiration. When asked exactly what Churchill did to win the war, Clement Atlee, the Labor leader who served in the coalition government, replied: "Talk about it." Churchill talked incessantly, in private as well as in public - to the astonishment of his private secretary, Jock Colville, he once spent an entire luncheon addressing himself exclusively to the marmalade cat.”http://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/archives/collections/churchill_papers/biography/

From Karka it operates in the five-seven axis, mind and war.
There was the other greater side, the jingoist British imperialist thunder of Churchill who decided to stem the spectacular advances of Hitler’s armies all over Europe and Egypt. The Royal Air Force was protecting England, particular the city of London most gloriously and Churchill is remembered for those immortal words “never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"

And “The eddies swirl around us, but the tide bears us forward on its broad, resistless flood. I have never promised anything but blood, tears, toil, and sweat.”

Defeat in election of 1945
In Makar Kumbha Dhanu period 5 July 1945 elections were held and the MK PK operated in the two twelve houses, showing a loss.

From the internet
“Although Churchill's role in the Second World War had generated much support for him amongst the British population, he was defeated in the 1945 election. Many reasons for this have been given, key among them being that a desire for post-war reform was widespread amongst the population and that the man who had led Britain in war was not seen as the man to lead the nation in peace”

“The result of the election came as a major shock to the Conservatives, given the heroic status of Winston Churchill, but reflected the voters' belief that the Labor Party were better able to rebuild the country following the war than the Conservatives.

Fights back to become PM again (Simha dasha 1951 to 1960) October 26, 1951 - Churchill wins general election

It was Karka Karka Simha on this day

From Karka this is happening in the fifth house and from Simha in the fourth house of parliamentary entry and sixth house of fight. The war hero was back in power at the ripe old age of seventy seven with his health about to fail but he fought back. 

From the internet

"His obstinacy was exhausting," Harold Macmillan, a former Prime Minister, said on a television program tonight. But he went on to say that the other side of the coin was "undefeatable determination."

“Winston Churchill rages against time and his own mortality in this tumultuous political drama of his last ten years of public life. Here is Churchill at his most outrageous, maddening, and devious—but also at his most human, courageous, and defiant.          

"I am an obstinate pig." This was how Winston Churchill described himself.           

At the end of July 1945, Winston Churchill was a defeated man—hurled from power by the British people at the end of the war in which he had just saved his country.         

..... Churchill fought his way back over the next six years to the center of great events—the only place he ever wanted to be. In 1951, at last prime minister once more, he was ready to begin his dash to win "the last prize I seek": the enduring peace that had eluded the world after Hitler's defeat.

A hint from Jaimini analysis should lead the astrologer into deeper probe through other dashas and vargas invariably. What has been been given here is only at-a-glance combination. Indians will perhaps agree with the following assessment of Churchill.

From the Internet
“The Spectator newspaper said of Churchill upon his appointment as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911: "We cannot detect in his career any principles or even any constant outlook upon public affairs; his ear is always to the ground; he is the true demagogue. . . ."

The great English classical liberal John Morley, after working with Churchill, passed a succinct appraisal of him, "Winston," he said, "has no principles."         

A historian himself, Churchill had no sense of history and should have known that all empires vanish into the limbo of history. He lived for eighteen years after India became free and remained united and well governed. But what he had said with his imperial immaturity was:   "----------Power will go to the hands of  rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water... would be taxed in India."         

The combination of MK and PK influenced by GK made him so immature in his judgements, his immature observations and rash pronouncements.
