British took 200 years to destroy India, Shashi took 15 minutes to destroy Britain😂🤣
Well said
hahhaah nicely said
and pappu family destroyed India even after Independence
and modi shah is still destroying from where the gandhi family left.
detom siga : well said
Kudos to this man.People in india are lucky to have such minds among the political cadres.
Respect from Pakistan!
India is so much more.
Perception is the problem
Actually the "India" he is talking about also involves Pak and Bangladesh as both countries were India at that time
Jay Acharya indian territories
@@jayacharya334 precisely
Because radical Islamists and military not in power in India
His face is filled with pride!!! Loved his speech
Aren't you now ashamed to be called british?
@@anirudhsharma2877 Hahaha
True

Why should she be. You cannot hold one responsible for what your ancestors did .
this is the best example that if it comes to india there is no congress no bjp....only indian.....hats off...
"No wonder the Sun never set in the British Empire; even the God couldn't trust British in the dark."
Most hilarious thing I've heard in a while. I just love this man speak.
This man delivers not just speach but try to giv resprct our nation
😂😂😂👆
Umar Ashraf well english language is a gift
but more importantly, does shashi actually care about indians
or is he just good at complaining
You are right bro
Does this now apply to the American empire?
A speech that left everyone speechless...
Yes 🔥🔥
It is men like Shashi Tharoor that have caused all the poverty in India today.

Mr.shashi Taroor"Pride of India"
Great intelligent personality
This is the reason why other politians are jealous of him
RIP ..indian text books ...😂😂

By the way it's proved🙂🙂🙂🙃
It is not for the first time Tharoor has voiced his bitter feelings against British colonialism. In his writings he has always been doing so. But this speech is simply mind blowing. He has mastered the art of using his vocabulary precisely. In the parliament too he can make this speech but there will be few brains to understand.
the first proper methodical concept of GDP was brought in 1934 in USA. So where exactly is he getting data from and that too with so much accuracy. There was no way anyone could have calculated a percentage of trade and so on in those days. A lot of it is clearly exaggerated to sell his book and to highlight his points further in bold letters and even if its not exaggerated where is all the data coming from? There must have been someone who calculated indias trade and gdp etc in the 1700s, is his identity revealed in the book??how accurate were his methods of calculations. All my fellow Indians are getting swayed by his eloquent and articulate speech, I did too but iam shocked not a single indian ever double checked as of how is getting his data from. How authentic is the data and does it even make sense?
Ani16 In that case why don't you go and challenge his statistics? If you truly believe he has exaggerated his numbers, which we definitely don't feel so, go an file a case against him in an international court, or in an institution of equal importance?
@@user-yh4uj2sx9x
From the British.

I wasn't fan of Tharoor but after this I am considering one.
Me too
Awesome speech. You make us proud!

@@vudusid9137 about how long have you started saying these things to girls named fatima
"No wonder sun never sat in british Raj , even the God couldn't trust english in the dark" shashi ji you Rock 😀👏
This guy should be India"s Prime Minister
I agree with you as an Indian
ThatBadGuy compared to Modi he will be a god of truth.
@ThatBadGuy lol then modi is the professor of lie school
He cant, congress and their sycophants prefers an italian waitress only because her last name is gandhi.
He should and can only be, if he switched sides.
Now that's the difference between a learned man speaking with passion and a passionate man speaking without proper learning. Mr. Tharoor should have been an academician because our country does need good ones. Sadly, we do not have much regards for academicians after all. Enjoyed the speech, and the interview with Rajdeep Sardesai.

Excellent Dr. Tharoor. Sonia Gandhi was intimidated by his capability. Instead of pushing an incapable Rahul Gandhi, the Congress should have concentrated on raising Non-Gandhi leaders like Tharoor.
The Congress should have groomed him to take over as the next prime minister of India. Every political party should owe to next generation of Indians to groom people who are capable of leading this great country so that they could keep their head high among the nations
That's were the Ghandhi and Congress have failed badly.
For all the Englishmen out there....... "Apply cold water to the burnt area."
India doesn't have running water lmao
+Kinēsis What age are you living in, son? India has a water grid larger than 17 Britain islands combined.
Spewing shit only makes you island-dwelling tribesmen look dumber than you are renowned for being.
+Priyo866 hahahaha!
Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, the WWW, the smallpox vaccine, immunology, and so much more.
Britain has contributed more to the world than any other nation.
Good effort.
Kinēsis
Yeah. Now let's count those few things to Indian achievements.
Plastic surgery. Transplant surgery. The concept of numbers. The belief in non-violence. The first university on earth, as well as the largest. Earliest academic-scale organized studies on grammar and language. Invention of chess. Invention of countless architectural components. Finest steel in the world. Accurate astrology 15 centuries before Europeans figured it out. Discovery of most of the planets, their distance and mass, a millenia earlier than Europeans (and it took a few more centuries for Britons). The first organized imperial road construction. The first organized postal service on earth. One of the finest medical systems in the world before 20th century. The largest trade network in pre-industrial world. The richest economy on earth. Guidlines for proper conduct warfare and treatment a millenia and a half before Red Cross, Geneva Convention and other pacts. A fully organized take on geopolitics before Alexander was dead, including a work of genius that makes Machiavelli look like a kid. The most well organized music system in the world, dwarfing Roman and Chinese music 50-fold in terms of complexity and beauty. Art and painting on a mighty scale when Europeans didn't even know about colour pigments. World's largest premodern organized education system, ahead of China (which came second) by a decent extent. Complete with public schools and academies. The EARLIEST democratic republics on earth, back in 1100-700 BCs in the form of Janpadas and later Mahajanpadas, when Britons still lift their arses for a useless old hag and her senile son. And no, Greeks didn't give the world democracy, we did, Greeks developed their own versions much later on. Heck, we even had toothbrushes and grand palaces, bathhouses and a highly urbanized society when your ancestors were trying to figure out how to build mud shacks while shouting at each other trying to construct a language somewhere in Germany.
Then there are geniuses like Aryabhatta, Charaka, Patanjali, Panini, Tulsidas, Kalidas, Dhanvantari, Tansen, Chanakya (also known by his pen name Vishnugupta)...and the list is too huge to put in here.
Britain has contributed more to genocides and rapes on a global scale, if anything. Heck, even Nazis and Khmer Rouge would hang their heads in shame if they learnt about British atrocities. Stealing German and French inventions and calling them British ones doesn't actually make them British, anyway.
+Priyo866 Those "few" things?! Ahahaha! You really are one insecure little boy, aren't you?
You're claiming non-violence? How conceited.
The Indians calculated the planets' mass? Provide evidence. I'm starting to wonder how much propaganda goes on in India.
Railways, trains, marine chronometer, glider plane, hydraulic press, electric motor, hypodermic syringe, steam turbine, steam engine, stainless steel, jet engine, theory of evolution, theory of gravity, the reflective telescope, the laws of motion, the modern atomic theory, the laws of optics, seed drill, the idea of black holes, the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, the first ever metal bridge, Boolean algebra, calculus, DNA fingerprinting, catseye, the first electro-digital programmable computer, identified the mosquito as the carrier of malaria… and much more (can't fit it).
India is nothing compared to Britain.
You seem to be quite interested in British things judging by your account-are you insecure? Hahahaha!!!!
Love u Sir....wonderful speech. We need this patriotic attitude in all the Indians..........

Every year and wondering if Congress Party can let the likes of him the PM candidate.

Outstanding speech ! true studied analytical balanced speech!!! hats of Shshi Tharooor!

Ani16 The financial statistics of the east india company are publicly available on the net. Not gonna post it here because you can do it yourself on google and it only takes two clicks. Doesnt take too much effort to calculate the total 'GDP' either when there are public records you can easily access on the net.
first proper methodical concept of GDP was brought in 1934 in USA ==> @Anil16 - Why does it need to come from USA to be Proper and Reliable?
Great painting challenge
I'm British, I love India. Such an amazing country, I was grateful to them for having me. Can't we get along now, we are stronger together than at each other's throats.
You are indeed a complete ignorant jack ass.
+Stridar r u god we are not above or beneath of any individually and I'm asking you guys are invented cricket have ever touched the world cup r atleast played in finals hey man u guys never reached moon and now we r on mars please respect other nations , take respect and give respect
Sorry but we gone some terrible incidents on ratings in all over country's do u ever find case that in india about ratusan about other people may be the controversial part of u r argument is not quite wrong there is part but compared to you case we r nothing and dont us indians never becomes racist like others and we r thinking over too much let's get along while we can before we belong to a nation we are nijame that on stands same ground and breath same air every one is equal , it's great to talk to you
No we can't is the answer. Easy for you to say move on but we've suffered so we want revenge.
Don't think people will forget or forgive Britain for looting India.
LITERALLY THE BEST SPEECH TO HEAR IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW INDIA HAD BEEN EXPLOITED
Shrushti Joshi he was born aftter independence
he can exaggerate facts
to make indians more patriotic
after all he wants political power
Hey you there , there is no exaggeration in this speech. Everything is correct about it. You don't know our history more than we do.
Go and read the Indian history (real), and btw my great grandfather was a freedom fighter so I know everything.
Ansh Kumar Singh other then bhagat singh and subhash chandra bose who was an actual freedom fighter?
Ansh Kumar Singh shashi had his wife murdered in 2014 and lost a lot of money during demonitisation in 2016
and yet you trust this politician with a fake british accent?
He better than Modi, all the gangdi family. this man should be PM of India...
Not exactly, he has to join Modi govt.
Dorji Wangchuk. They Are Both Good At What They Do
No match.. he got good experience.. he worked in UN
Yes he deserves to be pm
Agree
Somebody had to give it back to the Britons as to what they had done to our ancestors. Very happy to see this one man had the guts and the fluency to match it up with them. Salute to you Sir! God bless! Jai Hind!
As an Englishman who spent 20 great years living and working in India amongst its friendly and intelligent people, I agree that British colonialism raped India, the miracle is that the Indian people have forgiven us for this and now welcome us as guests! Never forget that when the UK ruling class was treating Indians as little more than slaves, they were treating my ancestors, the UK working class in the same way! I feel more in common with the politically conscious Indian freedom fighters than I ever will with the nasty, hubristic swine that call themselves the UK ruling class. Well spoken Mr Tharoor!
Thank you for acknowledging
It begs the question how much of this loot belongs to the British Crown and when are they going to return their ill-gotten gains.
Excellent Speech:)
Excellent speech. The punch was even more visible what with the back up of numbers. In only seeking an acknowledgement of the moral debt shashi has demonstrated the hindu heritage of being generous with your adversaries too. Churchill's flagrant revulsion towards India was exposed brilliantly by the reference to the margin note "WHY GANDHI IS STILL ALIVE". Shashi is as inspiring as Rajiv Malhotras and Subramanian Swamys. We need thousands of such people in public service
the people who dislike this i think may be they didn't understand it.
Nah! I think the subsequent interview that was conducted would be the reason. And by interview, I mean the questions the asked.
Dr. Tharoor your speech raised Indians heads with confidence on International issues,., your Laser sharp words Cuts offs the Paks demands, We the Peoples of India Salutes you Sir
Your speech made us feel proud sir.
"No wonder the sun didn't set on the British empire because even God couldn't trust the British dark" I'm dead.
Light Yagami the gift of english language
@@helloyouthere8133 are u defending the british by that statement?
DY
ummm... they did more good then evil
DY shashi is living in past
look what divider in chief modi is doing
@@helloyouthere8133 shashi tharoor literally just argued that fact. If ur talking about english education and other infrastructure it was made for the british people and not indians directly. We were a colony, discriminated against. The only reason why a lot of indians learnt english is so that they can communicate with the british, demand for equal rights and pay. This was the early nationalists era which wanted to cooperate with the British, which obviously didnt turn out well. I dont blame you if you are a british citizen obviously but the people in power back then for what happened. This is almost a pattern for all British colonies
I heard this speech many times. More I heard more I mesmerised
Shashi Tharoor raised our voice at Oxford... Great speech sir,,, you raised our pride...
"National cause is one which we all tend to unite" that's a good message sir
From Ireland; enjoyed this immensely. Truth will always out.
*_Just one word_*
_SLAYYYYY_ 🙏 👏
Sweetly slayed

I became his new fan
Why ?
He is good there.
JAI HIND.
Isn't she now ashamed to be called british?
Completely Agree with Dr. Tharoor's views. The best part of the speech was his hold on factual history and presenting it to an knowledgeable audience with eloquence.
Red mount Bright
Knowledgeable audience lol brainwashed feminists and pussy men more like it
I am surprised how this man is surviving under the party whose leadership is of the caliber of Rahul Gandhi
suman gaindhar Common at least now think like an INDIAN..rather than supporting parties.
suman gaindhar Its not surprising bcoz after reading mahabharat where nobles like Bheeshma & Dronachrya were served under Duryodhan.
suman gaindhar What exactly is the issue with Rahul Gandhi apart from BJP simply giving some conspiracies and bullying him? He is just an MP like anyother MPs. although he is said to be the party chief he never expects to become the PM! Stop joining this bandwagon of mainstream political cliches
Karthik P lollllll its not the matter of whether he wants to be a pm or not the are not going to make him pm.
Karthik P check his interview with Arnab and comment. its NOT main stream political but its him the problem #biased Main StreamMedia covering for very long time but social media blowing it away.
Shashi Tharoor 💝
You nailed it!!!!!!!!!!
2:35 to 2:55
Simply too good 🤣🤣🤣

I thankful for Mr.Tharoor who explained the fact and described our andohedral history.
We are proud of such a great Indian and of course a patriotic mindset in the speech. We Love you Sir. Please dont stop and keep doing similar things.
Wow! What a great and extraordinary speech...by this great person...
In today's world we want much educated politicians like tharoor sir
Good speech.. ...... Nothing to say good .. Good work
The entire speech is loaded with facts. He has aptly described the 200 years of British misrule in India. Very Impressive and hard hitting. Applause. 👏👏👏👏
Fantastic speech of mr Tharoor
I don't think he could have given this type of speech in any other country and survived. Imagine him in America slating a hero, or in India as the reporter guy said. Good for Britain in that respect...if not any other
Truth is always bitter.
Hey he is a member of Indian parliament. He would survive anywhere even in Somalia. 🙂
Hey he is a member of Indian parliament. He would survive anywhere even in Somalia. 🙂

When he say "INDIA" I can feel the pride....
He's a man of big calibre surely!!
Not only Indians but Indian origins all around the woeld we respect him and proud of him
Great Speech.I didn't watch while Vivekananda delivering speech about India.But this man made Britishers to react. hats-off..
Shashi Tharoor so proud of you all Indians are rejoicing. What a speech just awesome . You made all Indians proud of their country .👏👌
This man should be the prime minister of india. Congress should throw away gandhi family and bring deserving people to the leadership.
And " this morning I woke up at night " is the leader of this gentleman's party.
I surrender

i have his book era of darkness which came out in 2016 after the speech exellent book ,Shashi saheb Salute to you ,Salaam hai apko .
Intelligence with knowledge is equal to this brave Superman of our Indian country.....Impressed by your speech sir,Big salute to you..
Dr. Tharoor is a courageous man, which is very rare to see these days.
Very eloquent speaker!!!
Nothing of such kind was ever taught in history books to we Indians.
We still remain and live in romance with british that they gave us railways, universities and hospitals.
@ vaibhav Srivastava, it was very much there in our textbooks but most of the people sleep during sst class 😉
@@hemasharma6364 yep.. had it been taught in engineering, 50% Indians would have come to know. SST makes polticians and govt officials. Engineering creates Work force.
Real indian hero to show the face to united patience and united pingdom
he is amazing simply amazing.
this is fucking amazing....
hats off to Shashi Tharoor..... great
This speech will go down in history as an epic and amazing clarification! This man is glorious!!!
He is the perfect candidate to be India's PM
God bless you Shashi Tharoor.
You were absolutely awesome
Rajdeep as usual was up to no good. Trying to raise storms and controversies.
Awesome speech. Wonderful. Kudos to Mr. Tharoor on this and precise statistical info.
Such a proud moment for India that Indians soldier nailed it in british country
Worth watching .....!!!
A great speech by an Indian MP, talking about what REALLY HAPPENED IN INDIA under the British Empire. and many apt ,funny comparisons with the FACTS and COST to India of being part of Empire.l well worth listening to
Beaming with pride...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Right and great speech. ❤👍
Doctor Taroor, I have a dream that one day people will see ur speech more curiously than MLK jr.
his speech may stir something unwanted
man its embarrassing to see how deluded some Indian nationalists are. Entrenching this victim culture in Indians is the worst thing you could do.
Jack Sebastian’s: For the benefit of the unenlightened or the merely curious,could you please explain your comment?
Why cant Gandhi family let this guy lead Congress??
What pappu
he dont do kis-assing...and congress likes who kiss their backside :P
It’s not Meritocracy in congress.
Sir, you are the best. Bravo, bravo, bravo........
Great stuff , truth about the greedy elite of Britain,
Excellent orator.
He slayed the british in their accent genious
Wow ... Incredible speech and enlightening about the true facts happened with India in the past.
Wonderful speech.... Sir u hav good oratorial skills and knowledge
mesmerizing
Very interesting and eloquently executed speech
@British vlog damn, you caught me
Too good…..describing how good, how bold your speech is …..is a very difficult and almost an impossible task on anybody’s part…because you can’t describe how good a wizard of (W) (w)ords Dr Tharoor is. Congress should not have a second thought in putting you up as the next PM candidate because that can only bring them back into power again….no prejudice should work in their choice…..
Excellent speech by Shashi Tharoor at Oxford backed by facts and figures. Great oratory keeping the audience spellbound, congratulations
excellent!!
DAMMMMNNNNN!!!! Go Shashi.... Go Shashi...
Excellent speech salute sir 👍👍👍
Thanks Mr.Tharoor.
Your book is an eye opener for Indians,British people and the world.
You are CORRECT.
How British can pay back ?
nailed it!
In Mahabharata Karna was superior than Arjuna and may be more than Krishna but he was with wrong side with Dhuryodhan, when I hear him or watch him I feel same ...... great speech ....
May be more than arjuna but not shri krishna at any possible way .. With all due respect
SHAMMI JA Krishna was a God, Karna was a human. No comparisons :)
Asshole ..he is at the right side
.r u bjp bhakt
Karna was superior to arjuna no doubt but comparing him with krishna shows you're high on some substance. Bet he couldn't even defeat barbarik.
It's all fiction
Thumb up for the courage. Great
spoke for the subcontinent not only India
Wow couldn’t have said it better myself 😁
