Former US Secretary of State and Nobel laureate Henry Kissinger dies at 100

America's former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who was often surrounded by controversies, passed away at the age of 100.

Nobel laureate Henry died at his home in Connecticut. Henry wrote many books on international issues. He was a very talented person. He was the Foreign Minister and National Security Advisor in the government of US President Richard Nixon. He often got into controversies due to his actions and statements. Or rather, he enjoyed creating controversy.

Kissinger courted controversy after he described Indian women as one of the ugliest. Henry remained very active in the political and social life of America throughout his life.

Henry Kissinger had supported Pakistan in the genocide during the partition of Pakistan and Bangladesh in 1971.

India supported Bangladesh in this partition and played a big role. At that time the Prime Minister of India was Indira Gandhi. One month after the separation of Bangladesh from Pakistan, Indira Gandhi had come to meet Nixon and Kissinger. During that time, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger had abused Indira Gandhi.

Kissinger and Nixon accused them of "starting a war" and called the Indians "the most aggressive people" and sycophants. This conversation was being recorded on tape and it was made public after a long time in the year 2020.

When this tape was made public, it was revealed that the then President of America and the then Foreign Minister did not take very good care. Both of them had said many objectionable things in that tape. This recording was around 54 minutes 42 seconds long. At the 50th minute in the tape Nixon says that there is no doubt that the ugliest women in the world are Indian women. In the same conversation, Nixon told Kissinger that Indian people were the sexiest. They are experts in flattery. They talk nonsense and make fools of people in high positions. Henry Kissinger can be heard agreeing with his words.
