‘Britain destroyed India through looting, expropriation - and outright theft - all conducted in a spirit of deep racism and amoral cynicism.’ One man's blistering critique of our colonialist past by one of the world’s leading diplomats. Shashi Tharoor, now an Indian MP, has just published his latest book on the iniquities of the British Empire. And its themes have echoes today.

The word "loot" is also looted from Hindi... Lol...
Read up on the Bargi, they were created to loot the lad of Bengal, their sole purpose was to collected loot and they were INDIAN
@ИƎMƎƧîƧ ρЯîMƎ w The Marathis were Indian. That is like saying they that somebody from Edinburgh when talking about the British, is they were Scottish actually. This is one of the reasons that I am against apologising because Indian empires did exactly the same as European ones.
@@englishalan222 And shipped to England? Well, waiting for another PJ.
@@shaibidhar5737 Typical, anybody who dares say the truth about India is a racist, but yes you are right where India is concerned i am a racist. But I find it ironic that a person from India, the most racist country in the world should call me a racist. Maybe you should ask yourself what made me this way? When I visited India I certainly had no ill feeling towards the country or its people, I even donated money and toys to an orphanage in Mumbai, what has changed me attitude to you people, is the raise of nationalism in India that blinds Indians to the facts and makes them think they are some kind of master race who has never done or can do any wrong. It is the racism, the hate and the ignorance I see from Indians on the web directed at my country which I love more than my life, and the demanding of an apology, when you people were no better than we were , that is why my attitude towards Indians has changed, so yes where Indians are concerned I am a racist. It seems Indians think that they can be as insuting to other nationalities as thy like and no one can retailate. I hate Indians.
@@englishalan222 Indians do not believe in master race let alone us being the master race! Maybe you should understand how that sense of nationalism came? And now people are overprotective of their national identity and will take no bs directed towards that? You donated money and toys to an orphanage? Please! Don't even get me started!

"Tharoor argues that the British Empire was more about Britain than India."
Why are people surprised by this?
Perhaps they should teach the dark side of India too. The caste system, sutti, thugee, the Awara (not sure I’ve spelled that correctly) tax collectors, stealing young girls for harem, the list is practically endless, just like the pointless wars that we put a stop to. We taught your population to read. Perhaps you wish to return to the days when you could steal a pretty young girl from her mother, have the father beaten to death and confiscate his property, with no option of legal recourse for the poor peasant.

LIAR. I HATE INDIANS
@@englishalan222 Alan, Noone asking you to like indians.
@@englishalan222 Nope, he isn't lying, I am from Bengal and I can confirm its completely true, leaving aside history texts which you'll probably call fake, the sheer amount of rich literature like poems documentaries written by people from that time depict how brutal the famine was. People just died by rotting to death, people would come to beg for the liquid left behind after boiling rice. That's how bad the starvation was. Even the Britishers after some time couldn't watch the condition. As a result they wrote to Churchill to do something and guess what Churchill replied? "If it's so bad why didn't Gandhi die".
@@aringhose3216 Yes he is lying, the Bengal famine was caused by natural events and the pressure of war. The major cause was an outbreak of Brown Spot Disease that attacks rice, so yes the conditions were terrible, as bad as you say but they were not man-made yet without Churchill who shipped 700,000 tons of grain to Bengal the death toll would have been higher. Also what he said about Gandhi was said in jest, people say things like that every day. I hate Indians.
@@englishalan222 Absolutely loving this conversation.

We always thought that you guys were so enlightened for being so poor and humble and yet so spiritual, but aside from that, you were poor because the British Empire made you that way. I cannot say we suffered the same treatment, but being from Argentina has a slightly bittersweet taste regarding the same matters. I really enjoyed Sashi's demeanor.

Returning Kohinoor will be best apology
You should mention what Kohinoor is to Western people - The world's largest diamond in the Crown Jewels of that Fat Queen who shamelessly wear it today as if it were hers. It belongs to India since it was mined there in the Diamond mines of Golkonda, A Hindu Empire in South India.
British being the sick bastards, stole it from a young Indian crown Prince by forcing the 11 year old to surrender it if he wanted to keep his Kingdom safe from British Annexation.
Kohinoor is an unlucky diamond and it means nothing. Better have a look to devastating Bengal famines which was responsible for India's bankruptcy and England's industrial revolution.

@British Chap karma sees this comment😝🤑
I’m currently reading Tharoor’s book and it’s been a real eye-opener. I was already aware that the actions of Britain and Britons in the Indian continent weren’t something to be proud of, but when confronted with the stories and statistics it’s staggering that there is a collective amnesia about what happened. Just one example being India having a quarter of the world’s economy before Britain took over, compared to just 3% when they left. India was a relatively advanced civilisation, Britain destroyed local manufacturing and forced it to become agricultural.
Are you British ?
Please read Dr. B R Ambedkar’s “Pakstan or Partition of India”
Page 50 onwards, the condition of Hindus under moghal rule.
Hadn’t it been for the brits, India would hav been an Islamic country.
It’s clear, who has anger towards brits and who is brainwashing the Indian Hindus.
"The statistic that India produced 25 per cent of world output in 1800 and 2 to 4 per cent of it in 1900 does not prove that India was once rich and became poor. It only tells us that industrial productivity in the West increased four to six times during this period...National income statistics do not show that during British rule the Indian economy became steadily poorer". Source: Tirthankar Roy, Professor of Economic History at LSE, born and educated in India.
The reason that the Indian sub-continent had an estimated 25% of world output was because it had so much of the world's population, over 20%. An industrial Revolution and increased productivity in the West meant India's share of the world GDP became progressively less. This doesn't mean India became poorer, just that the total amount of world GDP grew larger.
@StonkSlayd Britain came to trade and then invested huge sums. The British created an Indian coal industry from nothing, a valuable natural resource for India. Coal was used to power the railways. Without coal India could not have a modern steel industry. Tata Steel was founded by Indians in 1907 and is now one of the largest steel companies in the world. In 2018 the Tata Group "contributed about 4% to the country’s GDP and paid 2.24% of the total taxation in India, the highest by any corporate group". wiki
@StonkSlayd "And on the other side of the balance sheet were the immense British investments in Indian infrastructure, irrigation and industry. By the 1880's the British had invested £279 million in India, not much less than one fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached £400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten". Niall Ferguson, Empire
Classic statement made by ST "when you don't know where you've come from, how will you appreciate where you'll be going?" this is what our generations should be thought in the schools, which provides very valuable lessons to every person.

Good on sashi! I’m British and have travelled india for the past 20 years it’s an amazing country i would even call it a second home it really makes me ashamed that Britain has done this to India it’s sickening and my ancestors weren’t even in Britain when it was happening nonetheless we should give the jewel back along with the dignity the uk took
britain comitted most of the genocide, theft only in bengal not in india present day. do not confuse yourself . there was no such country called india in year 1757 23rd june . british settlement was first in murshidabad district later calcutta from 1777 onwards. bengal means( present day bangladesh, indian state of west bengal, assam, tripura) open a map in google then look carefully. britain did no genocide and theft in present day india.
@@MarianDiaconu-uk5cd i can see that you are definitely racist .whatever cultural and social issuse are there and which yu have highlighted in bold has nothing to do with the fact that economically you looted and your officers destroyed india in every way possible .just be gracious and apolgise for your ancestors dark deeds

@@MarianDiaconu-uk5cd dont tell me to shut my mouth you shut your mouth .dont talk about my country when you dont know anything about it hindi is the national language but india is such a wonderful and diverse country as it is centuries old so different states have their own culture and language i have many tamilian friends who converse very beautifully in hindi please an advice look at the sorry affairs of your country rather than trying to find errors in other cultures and religions please get rid of your british raj we are superior race complex the world is now a melting pot pouri and will become more so in the future

Lord Macaulay's Address to the British Parliament on 02/02/1835:
I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.
Thana64: Thanks for the 1835 Macaulay's address to the British Parliament. I have been searching for this quote for a while to augment my comments of what the British wanted an Indian to be like - an aping Briton but in colour having washed his personality and his heritage out of his body and soul, and turning him into servile subservient bapu - ever nodding his head side-to-side in agreement to his master's voice and command. Macaulay did manage to the the Indian Education Act passed to gets Indians to communicate and dress in English manner. Some of the old top Indian colleges of Indian still to this day continue with this remininants of the past British Raj glory. It took someone with the stature of Mahatma Gandhi to stand up to these racialist imperialists off the back India.

I don't know if he is a good leader , but definitely a good and educated debator . Atleast he can represent india well in the least biased manner with proper facts
4250000+ this many Indian army person were involved in world war 1 & 2 for British army support ....n present great Britain won't remember there sacrifice.
Actually we do remember their sacrifice, there are memorials to them in Britain and every year Indian delicates along with Indian veterans are invited to take part in the London rememberance march and parade and to lay a wreath on the Cenotaph Memorial in London along with the Queen. They are also mentioned in British history books and documentaries and in film.
Strange you say that, because I have SEEN FOUR Memorials to Indian troops, one in Seven Oaks and one in Brighton and another in Hyde Park LONDON, there is another in Liverpool. Also the Cenotaph is a memorial to British and COMMONWEALTH troops. Strange is'n't it that every year Indians come to London, veterans to lay a wreath on the Cenotaph with the queen. I have my doubts that you ever lived in London, you are too anti-British, if you had lived in London you would know that people from all over the Commonwealth lay wreaths on the Cenotaph EVERY YEAR, invited to do so by the Queen.
They fought for us because they knew that they were better off under British rule than they would have been under India's princes as for saying sorry we have nothing to apologise for
633 Squadron.One of the pilots has a fucking turbin.And you did have some free will I do not believe you have lived in England, if so why would you come to a country you hate.
Britain NEVER conscripted from the Colonies in case it sparked rebellion. All colonial troops, Australian, Canadian, New Zealanders, south Africans, Kenyans and INDIANS and others were Volunteers.
Genocide-denial is a national hobby in the UK
Indians don't blame the present generation brits , BUT apologies are owed to India for the sake of morality
*India is richer than britain (as it was b4 colonization) ,We dont need any reparations from you.*
But to accept that wrong was done (like the germans did) is important for our 2 nations to move on.
To accept that terrible atrocities were done on Indians by the hands of british (which are conveniently misjudged as favors) is important if you , as a Brit , want a healthy relationship with Indians.
12345a if you were richer, you would not have been colonised. UK GDP is still higher than India. Despite India having 20 times more people.
KAUSHIK KUMAR if Cuba invaded USA with 10000 soldiers, do you think they would succeed? There was no India before the East Indian Company. India was a British creation.
KAUSHIK KUMAR India has 20 times the population of U.K. You guys must all live in poverty if your GDP is comparable to U.K.
Firstly , If you have any knowledge of Econ , Indian economy and spending power is more than England in every measure except PPP (which is favorable to nations with lesser population)
Also , India WAS richer. The only issue was the internal conflicts in India and being behind in warfare techniques and technology.
East India company didnt conquer India alone , they did it by helping one ruler against another.
They never went out on an all-out war , England vs India
It was Small kingdom vs Small kingdom with England as supporter
In return for the help ,England gained control over those kingdoms , and eventually this became the british raj.
Do you understand now ?
Hahaha what a dreamer! You have not heard of the Mauryan empire and all. Uneducated and you show it off! Go cry the sun has set on the British Empire. India has got a far better military and technological prowess than the past where a couple of thieves could rule.
Don't know why media is ashame to show real India instead of poor side of country
Because They Wanna Convey to there people that We gave them independence and they are still poor..
Extremely Intellectual and well spoken Mr.Sashi Tharoor. India certainly needs more of him
I love how Shashi Tharoor started the interview in a finisher mode.
This guy is so brilliant. Not just India but the whole western colonialism stole wealth from other countries and that’s how they got so rich
They looted their own countries first. That wealth was taken from Indian aristocracy by British aristocracy. Colonialism was the bedrock from which corporate capitalism rose.
They created wealth not stole from anybody.wealth creation is science but to blame is a habit
@@sureshdevi4390 Not even close. Colonialism is about wealth theft. No question about it. Just visit the Royal Mint in London… that’s not “wealth creation”: that’s theft. Visit the British Museum…
Exactly, because their own countries at that time has nothing. Nature provides them a poor environment so it was pretty much going hunter like a predator or die. Sadly it feel they stick to this belief
"And certainly not because of any nostalgia of Empire, John"
Sasi Tharoor MASSSSSS !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

As an Indian, as I go through the comments of people, I feel proud and goosebumps. Thanks to everyone who openly appreciated Mr. Tharoor for his prodigious statements.... Pardon if my English is bad

Fair enough, I can't argue with that. I actually agree with you I'm as mortified as you are passionate but the past is the past it can't be changed.
Wez who said it can be changed, we just want some acknowledgment from the English side, do you know how it feels when the people who did pillaged, looted and did horrible things to you, instead of recognising it and doing something about it, act all smug and act like they didnt do anything wrong. At least teach the right thing to your younger generation, thats all India wants I think. But Im nepali so I dont really care. They must feel pretty bad thou
The government has not acknowledged it or apologised because they are all elitist assholes but people do know what happened to India was wrong but the people responsible for it are all dead. Britain gives foreign aid to India which is poor recompense for what happened but what exactly does India want? I'm English and i have apologised and i know very many who feel the same.
