- In the whole of the Western World (except the newly liberated parts of Eastern Europe) the result would probably be about the same.
Outside the Western World (including Russia) a lot of people are even LESS aware of what crimes the enemies of democracy and freedom have committed throughout history. In India, for instance, even people with university education don’t know much about Hitler, WWII or the Holocaust - and this nation, India, alone houses one sixth of the world’s population...
3000+ years of Indian history is too lengthy to accomodate world history to a satisfactory level. Of a 400-page history text-book, perhaps about 20 would have been devoted to 20th Century world history(compared to the unending volumes regarding Indian independence and the politics of the time). And since the bulk of it comes towards the end, most students tend to skip it, so as to rely on the bulk of the rest to score in exams. The availability of question choices in the final examinations also encourage this.
