It doesn't really say anything about Churchill's wartime leadership, does it?
As I stated before, Churchill had some pretty aweful ideas when it came to grand strategy and Unthinkable was one of them. I've argued before, somewhere, that an Allied attack on Russia in 1945 was doomed to fail horribly. The Russians had more men, tanks, guns, planes; better equipment, especially tanks which far outclassed the Allies' and more experienced troops which fought the Germans for years.
Other than that, it's main point is that the Indians didn't like him, and that's rather moot considering they probably didn't like any of their other colonial rulers much more either.
