I’m a Pakistani, my grandfather fought along side the British in Burma during WW2. Mr. Shashi Tharoor should be recognized and Awarded by both India And Pakistan for his service on this subject. Just my opinion.
In the interest of fairness I said what I said but if comments like mine bring out the evil in the chest thumping Indians then let me say that may Allah give me a long enough life to be of service to my country against you. Although if you desire peace you will find most Pakistanis very receptive to the idea. To Mr. Singh talk is cheap and we've got gallons of "tea" ready and waiting for ones such as yourself.
Many don't know now that Churchill's policies contributed to 1943 Bengal famine which killed *2.1 to 3 million* people in Bengal alone. That was more lives than the recent pandemic is causing.
Official figure 4 million. Was probably more than that. There are pictures available on the internet that show piles of dead bodies in the streets of Kolkata (then Calcutta)
@@yhbindu So, what you are saying is, that through all human history, the only things worth remembering / preserving came out of India, and Africa? Ever? That is the most tone deaf thing around. Yes. History was brutal, ON ALL SIDES. should Britain be uniquely apologetic for that simply by way of being better at winning? Look into the history of slavery. more slavers and slavery supported by the Barbary slave traders than during the entire triangular trade. In fact, the triangular trade would have been unsupportable had not the African tribes SOLD their captives from internal struggles into slavery. Britain was pivotal in halting the transatlantic slave trade over 150 years ago. And yet you do not mention that MODERN slave trade still exists and you don't mention it because to do so would deny your victim/opressor narative.
British students : I never taught about this in my school.. India: Any Nation is not comfortable to taught their students about brutality done by them in past ..,🙄🙄
How can someone tell their children they their grandparents were bloody rapists, decoits and racists??? If it wasn't for those loots, Britain would have been no better than Bangladesh today
it wasn't some 2000 years ago. It was 73 years ago. My grandfather is alive and 96 years of age. He remembers each and every thing, the communal riots and everything else. Whenever he talks about it, it brings tears to his eyes even now. A train full of dead women, children arrived in the state i live in. He saw that train. Many of the people he knew died in the partition. This was just the end of british rule. Even during the british rule, it was like hell. I am sorry to say no matter how forgiving you are, these kind of things are not easy to forget or forgive. These kind of memories travel from generation to generation. Ofcourse i agree it's not your fault.
someone I knew once was telling me that she had to ride a bullock cart from dhaka to delhi via kolkata but they couldn't get too close to the city because the smell of rotting bodies, and the streets were filled with vultures that were too stuffed full to fly. She's gone now rip
Balbir I agree with you on this point. I have been watching the debates on this topic for the last four years and everyone is treating the colonisation of India and the atrocities that were carried out by the British as having occurred in some distant past. From a historical perspective this stuff is relatively new and like you rightfully said this was a mere 73 years ago which was in your grandfather's time. I am of Indian descent and writing from the Caribbean, my grand parents still tell stories of how they were stolen from India to work as Indentured Servants on British sugar plantations in the Caribbean. It should also be noted here that Indenture-ship was just another form of slavery and there are voluminous amounts of historical records in the Caribbean that documents this and what is even worse is that Indenture-ship in the Caribbean only came to an end after World War 2 which again is relatively recent. I find it so strange that British Millennials don't know about these things and this is considered recent history. I believe the Britishers who are still alive and were part of the colonial apparatus have made it their business to purposefully rewrite a more pleasant version of colonialism for their descendants in order to hide the shame and atrocities that they and their parents carried out in India and the rest of the Empire. I don't know if Britain should pay reparations or even could pay reparations but what I am sure about is that the colonisation of India did not happen in some distant past and there are people in this World who are still alive today that have first hand experience of British rule and the colonial experience.
Appreciate this young girl who is sensible enough to atleast appreciate the facts. Rather than a few shameless news anchors on other channels who were still pretending to be in a phase of denial.
@@harshkumarf4379 And whom do you read it from, the literature published by the british themselves who had committed all the atrocities around the world, so of course they would write bad things about us, all the books taught in our country written by the british and their stooges are wrong historical facts because they were the oppressors and the Indian people who get paid to write our history are also their stooges, so only the ancient histories researched and written by scientific community and by scientific discoveries by archeologists and authentic research people and our ancient sages and true historians hold any relevance because every year british history is getting proven to be wrong, for example, aryan invasion theory which does not exist and did not exist which was a figment of imagination by the british and now by scientific research and satellite mapping, etc. they are proven to be wrong, and now they are not talking about it, but still that pathetic untrue propaganda is being taught in schools till now, how pathetic...and your fake profile proves that you are being paid to put up these comments...how much are you getting paid to put these comments up?
@@AniramMNair i read from various sources some that not even indian govt and nationalists would recommend ,, you know how naitonalists and conservatives in uk did not want there colonial history nd attrocity to be taught in their schools only because they think it was bad for their propaganda ,, so i dont fall for that same old trick playeed by our own conservatives and nationalists so kiddo you have to read more and from various sources probably the neutral ones to understand the history ,,, however history is not a slave to an ideology ,, many people have tried to control its content in the name of religion , caste , community , and even nation ,,,, and you think our books were written by britishers ,, had that been the case you would have been living under colonial rule all the while thinking that colonial rule was good for us ,,, you think aryan invasion / aryan migration theory has been debunked ,, idiot that was a theory and it had its own claims ,, i dont even care whether it is false or not ,,, it just does'nt matter ,,, there are a lot of theories circulating around ,, i understand the eagerness to prove that aryan invasion theory gets flaisified because if it does'nt then the claims of so called "naitonalist" will be under the scanner so they desparately want this aryan migration and aryan invasion theory to be falsified ,,, this also happened recently with the study on rakhigarhi women skeleton ,, look it up and pay attention to the findings ,, you should not have brought up this aryan invasion / migration thoery ,, i know you have not read it ,, its far too big of a study for the like of you ,, go and atleast read the wiki and the given references then read the counter view ,, however its probably far too much for you you are probably one of those guys who believes in that utter bullshit that sanskrit is the best language for computer / coding languages ,,, and i dont know how much do you get for spreadin watsapp propaganda but i am know i dont get anything from it

Solid point. but this video is being VERY selective. trying to blame Britain and its colonial actions on a change in a trade statictic over a period of 400 YEARS that also included the industrial revolution and globalisation is simply LYING.
It’s lovely to see a young lady actually listening and empathize with the suffering of Indian people.Most Brits I meet are surprised I speak English and when I remind them of British colonization one actually sees their complete lack of interest.As an Indian I feel particularly sad that we do not acknowledge the wound that 200 years of slavery caused not just to our economy but to the psyche of our country.By not doing so we have let the colonialists to truly win the last battle-the battle of propaganda.

The current generation can't be blamed for the atrocities committed by their fore-fathers....but it's important that they should know the past so that they learn from the mistakes of the past... so that they are more compassionate towards other cultures... so that they become a better human being than their fore-fathers were. Nice reaction. Best wishes.

Before British era, INDIA was the most richest country. INDIA was called the "GOLDEN BIRD". In 1947, INDIA got Independence but we INDIANs were the poorest on the Earth. 🇬🇧British made us(India🇮🇳) almost Begger. British divided INDIA ( old INDIA= today INDIA +Pakistan) in 1947. We were one country but because of wrong doings of British, we are like two Nuclear weapon armed Sworn Enemy. INDIA and Pakistan fought 4 Wars after Independence . These are the just few wrong things about British Colonial Empire. Actually there are many more. But we INDIANs don't hate new British generation but this new generation should acknowledge their ancestors wrong doings. That's how we can try to forgive them .

I am an Anglo Indian of British ancestry, a race unintentionally created by the English Empire when both my great grandfathers fell in love with not only my grandmothers but this land too, India. The Anglo_Indians came together to build a better India, by Anglo Indians taking to the Education system as teachers and principals. Anglo India helped us get back in the last 60 years more educated and more aware. The Anglo-Indian has a complex mind with a split conscience, being, able to think from both perspectives giving us the edge We have our very own community in various parts of India. We have different types of food, dressing styles and have English both as our mother tongue and father tongue ( If that's a thing, lol). We are a small community, forgotten and dying, but a few of us still fight for who we are, we are a combination of all cultures here in India, We are India.
Rick , it’s the mind of crooks which tends to shun away from talking about their own mistakes. A honest human would at least try to understand, which is what she did. A greater human being would bring it up and be honest about it; even though we can’t undo what our forefathers did - it’s important to understand & have the balls to talk about it.

Yes exactly, it just breaks my heart that our country was known as "sone ki chidiya (the golden bird)" and now we are struggling rebuilding our nation because by the help of these Mughals and Britishers our country was left starving 🥺.
I belong to a family in India where most of our great grand parents and their other family memebers were freedom fighters. We grew up listing to the tortures that were done to them. There are millions of families who were effected like ours, British people left India with no infrastructure, no industry, on top of that they agreed to divide the country to such ways that it has create a religious mishap regularly for years, and it'll still continue. It's really funny where all we grew up listing to is torture stories, which were done to us from some outsiders, and you all grew up listing to is world war and how great your country was. That breaks my heart in different levels.
Dear Rebecca, thank you for showing us this video. As an Indian, I can say that Indians never hate British people despite all the oppression that our forefathers had to bear. They fought against the rulers as this was our Dharma. Having said that, the current British government should apologize for the masacre of Jalianwala Bag mass murder. We can not demand because we are waiting for the time when the apologies will come from the heart. Also, the division of India and Pakistan was the worst thing which British rulers had executed before departing in 1947. We are still fighting with each other. Undivided India could have been as strong as China today if India-Pakistan did not have to spend huge money on fighting war. We could have had Bangladesh also together. However, all extreme challenges make a living being more competent. I know India will lead the world one day not only with her economic strength but with virtues which is the core of this ancient land. Please do not feel sorry as a British as you do not have any control over the flow of time and events. As a human, of course, anyone will feel sorry and would pray for those who suffered and finally gave up their mortal bodies. As the land believes in immortality of human beings, those were the most sacred souls who gave us inspiration to fight back and overcome fears within us. Love and regards to you as always ! Take care dear 🤗
@@MS.Paints it's still one of the best popular sources yk. Any more detailed sources are too complex, and any more vague sources aren't worth it.

I realised, after hearing Mr Tharoor speak on this topic, that every European country came to terms with its colonial past. Germany & Italy are examples given here. France, Belgium and Holland have each made generous gestures by according former subjects citizenship/settlement rights. Britain stands apart in comparison. In addition, France and others have included their dark colonial past as part of their curriculum and therefore their educational systems are held in regard for fairness and rigour. The longer Britain, Spain and Portugal dither, the harder it will be for them to come to peace with their past.
As someone who hails from the Indian Subcontinent, I deeply appreciate your sense of remorse on behalf of your country, UK. Colonial history has deliberately never been taught in UK schools because the UK Government does not want its citizens to know the in-depth ugly details of the extent in which people’s lives in Britain’s far-flung colonies have been totally ruined as a result of the British colonial enterprise. I think it’s high time the people and the Government of UK openly acknowledge their crimes against their past colonies and offer unconditional apologies to all of them, not just India. Reparations are most definitely owed.

@@MK-nj5up Mate, I think you are not getting it. They exploited Indians even mentally too... Through substandard education policies. And the divide and rule policy has worked out very well... There are proofs that they even got hold of the scriptures of the culture and made sure the people are cut away from roots. You weren't there to witness the degree to which the mental exploitation ( along with the wealth and other stuff) took place. The present day maladies faced by the country are an effect of those various exploitations... If you don't agree then see for yourself before British GDP share 24% after British 3% .... Do you think that 24% was possible with the present day problems you mentioned? All that people want is to recognise what wrongs were done and just feel for those people who lived through those dark times and not be proud of wrongly taught criminal ( I couldn't put it more gently) history.... No one is blaming present day UK and its people . The people of India just want you to realise and just feel for those wrongs.... But the concern is no one knows what they did was wrong( I don't know what factors contribute to this disinformation) and are very proud of the British colonial rule.... That hurts the people of the former colonies of the empire

Thank you for your kind reaction.. He only scratched the surface.. But history is history.. Now we look forward toward world and bond our friend to world. Thank you. Namastey
When the speaker said saying sorry goes a long way, what he actually meant was accepting the atrocities done and making sure that Britishers are aware of it, because once people are aware and accept, normal human beings would feel sorry. So instead of saying sorry in the video over and over again just make sure that you know more about this and let others around you know too. All the best. 🙂
I do agree with you. How could anyone be sorry for anything if they don't have guilt. British government did a awesome job at hiding their history. One of British said that he didn't have any idea about it and didn't think to be sorry about it.
It takes lots of guts to say sorry too.. Im happy to hear that some British are knowing what happened to India and they are sorry about it.. i really appreciate your honesty and trues nature
You know I am really proud that we are very forgiving, Its like the best way in which you prove that you are a bigger and a better person and still respect every damn stuff of this world🙂🙂

In fact, many don't really even know that history, or actually even care...knowing and caring about two to three hundred year old history is to expect a lot from them. But remember, those who forget about history(negative), are doomed to repeat it, or watch it repeated. In so many ways, unfortunately, we are watching it being repeated. Colonisation never ended, it just took on different avatars...look around you. I respect your opinions and sentiments and that's why I watch your reactions. Stay safe, healthy...and most importantly, stay informed! 🇮🇳🇧🇪🔒...in Belgium.
He kicked British from india...not just from bengal..gandhi did nothing actually it was azad hind fauj's fear post world war 2 that weakened British couldn't take
That’s such an honest and real reaction ! For you as a britisher to react and post this is a huge step . I want to say that you have contributed to the much needed healing on the planet in ur own small way. Keep up the great work and thank you 🙏
In today's money it will be 10 to 15 trillion dollars which even uk could not affort it.Atleast we are happy that Indian companies are giving jobs to uk citizens.
One of the best reactions to this topic; emotional, heartfelt and honest. If the present generation thinks like you then we have no complaints about the past..
Don't think that it was a bad reaction from you , actually it is the true reaction that came directly from your heart. And I think in every school they should teach the facts about history. Because it is a right of every human to know about the past , not just what great things has done by their heros but also what unacceptable things have done by them and how people are still suffering because of the past , specially who lost their loved ones. I'm gonna subscribe your chanel now because of your acceptance about the history. Thanks for reacting on this video. Keep doing it.
Recently, I suggested Shassi Tharoor’s books to a Britisher, but he simply discounted the book as highly biased against Britain, and he had his own account of Britain rule
I really appreciate Shashi sir's stand. He laid down all the facts without being rude in speech or expression. The best thing is what he said at the end - you can't ever pay adequate reparation to some one who lost a dear one due to you. The principle of reparation needs to be recognised. I would personally be happy even if 1 pound was paid each year for 200 years for the 200 years they oppressed us. That was really commendable. And it is very nice Rebecca, to see that you humbly accepted the truth, and apologised for all that your ancestors did even though you weren't guilty for the same. Thanks for that.
Also, the British dictionary word "pundit", again "loot"ed from India 😂And I'm sure there are many such words, similar to their looted show-off of Brit museums, handlooms, mashed potatoes, etc. !
Every time you said I am sorry.. it brings a drop coming out of my eyes.. I don't know why.. I can still feel for the people at that time of India.. you're so genuine as a person.. and we as Indian respect that..
As ur name shows @ master slave u really are a coward n born to be a slave, and who the bloody hell r u to accept any apologizes in behalf of us, these whites can never be forgiven for what they hv done to our country, and yes all their generations either past or upcoming will always be in debt to our country, n should feel guilty for what their ancestors have done,,,. And one more thing why the so called royal family of uk have no audacity to say sorry to our nation, as dr tharoor quoted in his speech,,,,, will these so called royals hv guts to accept the harsh n bitter reality of their past?????

Many don't know now that Churchill's policies contributed to 1943 Bengal famine which killed *2.1 to 3 million* people in Bengal alone. That was more lives than the recent pandemic is causing.

Official figure 4 million. Was probably more than that. There are pictures available on the internet that show piles of dead bodies in the streets of Kolkata (then Calcutta)

@@yhbindu So, what you are saying is, that through all human history, the only things worth remembering / preserving came out of India, and Africa? Ever? That is the most tone deaf thing around. Yes. History was brutal, ON ALL SIDES. should Britain be uniquely apologetic for that simply by way of being better at winning? Look into the history of slavery. more slavers and slavery supported by the Barbary slave traders than during the entire triangular trade. In fact, the triangular trade would have been unsupportable had not the African tribes SOLD their captives from internal struggles into slavery. Britain was pivotal in halting the transatlantic slave trade over 150 years ago. And yet you do not mention that MODERN slave trade still exists and you don't mention it because to do so would deny your victim/opressor narative.

it wasn't some 2000 years ago. It was 73 years ago. My grandfather is alive and 96 years of age. He remembers each and every thing, the communal riots and everything else. Whenever he talks about it, it brings tears to his eyes even now. A train full of dead women, children arrived in the state i live in. He saw that train. Many of the people he knew died in the partition. This was just the end of british rule. Even during the british rule, it was like hell. I am sorry to say no matter how forgiving you are, these kind of things are not easy to forget or forgive. These kind of memories travel from generation to generation. Ofcourse i agree it's not your fault.
someone I knew once was telling me that she had to ride a bullock cart from dhaka to delhi via kolkata but they couldn't get too close to the city because the smell of rotting bodies, and the streets were filled with vultures that were too stuffed full to fly. She's gone now rip
You are right
Balbir I agree with you on this point. I have been watching the debates on this topic for the last four years and everyone is treating the colonisation of India and the atrocities that were carried out by the British as having occurred in some distant past. From a historical perspective this stuff is relatively new and like you rightfully said this was a mere 73 years ago which was in your grandfather's time. I am of Indian descent and writing from the Caribbean, my grand parents still tell stories of how they were stolen from India to work as Indentured Servants on British sugar plantations in the Caribbean. It should also be noted here that Indenture-ship was just another form of slavery and there are voluminous amounts of historical records in the Caribbean that documents this and what is even worse is that Indenture-ship in the Caribbean only came to an end after World War 2 which again is relatively recent. I find it so strange that British Millennials don't know about these things and this is considered recent history. I believe the Britishers who are still alive and were part of the colonial apparatus have made it their business to purposefully rewrite a more pleasant version of colonialism for their descendants in order to hide the shame and atrocities that they and their parents carried out in India and the rest of the Empire. I don't know if Britain should pay reparations or even could pay reparations but what I am sure about is that the colonisation of India did not happen in some distant past and there are people in this World who are still alive today that have first hand experience of British rule and the colonial experience.

@@harshkumarf4379 And whom do you read it from, the literature published by the british themselves who had committed all the atrocities around the world, so of course they would write bad things about us, all the books taught in our country written by the british and their stooges are wrong historical facts because they were the oppressors and the Indian people who get paid to write our history are also their stooges, so only the ancient histories researched and written by scientific community and by scientific discoveries by archeologists and authentic research people and our ancient sages and true historians hold any relevance because every year british history is getting proven to be wrong, for example, aryan invasion theory which does not exist and did not exist which was a figment of imagination by the british and now by scientific research and satellite mapping, etc. they are proven to be wrong, and now they are not talking about it, but still that pathetic untrue propaganda is being taught in schools till now, how pathetic...and your fake profile proves that you are being paid to put up these comments...how much are you getting paid to put these comments up?
@@AniramMNair i read from various sources some that not even indian govt and nationalists would recommend ,,
you know how naitonalists and conservatives in uk did not want there colonial history nd attrocity to be taught in their schools only because they think it was bad for their propaganda ,, so i dont fall for that same old trick playeed by our own conservatives and nationalists
so kiddo you have to read more and from various sources probably the neutral ones to understand the history ,,, however history is not a slave to an ideology ,, many people have tried to control its content in the name of religion , caste , community , and even nation ,,,,
and you think our books were written by britishers ,, had that been the case you would have been living under colonial rule all the while thinking that colonial rule was good for us ,,,
you think aryan invasion / aryan migration theory has been debunked ,, idiot that was a theory and it had its own claims ,, i dont even care whether it is false or not ,,, it just does'nt matter ,,, there are a lot of theories circulating around ,,
i understand the eagerness to prove that aryan invasion theory gets flaisified because if it does'nt then the claims of so called "naitonalist" will be under the scanner so they desparately want this aryan migration and aryan invasion theory to be falsified ,,,
this also happened recently with the study on rakhigarhi women skeleton ,,
look it up and pay attention to the findings ,,
you should not have brought up this aryan invasion / migration thoery ,, i know you have not read it ,, its far too big of a study for the like of you ,, go and atleast read the wiki and the given references then read the counter view ,, however its probably far too much for you
you are probably one of those guys who believes in that utter bullshit that sanskrit is the best language for computer / coding languages ,,,

AND DONT EVER THINK THAT SOMEONE WITH YOUR LEVEL OF IGNORANCE AND WEAK UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIETY WILL EVER IMPROVE SOCIO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE COUNTRY ,, FIRST STEP IS TO MOVE AWAY FROM THIS WEAK DEFINITION OF NATIONALSIM THAT HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO YOU ,, SECOND DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO CRITICISE THE GOVT AND ASK QUESTIONS ,, NEVER EVER FALL FOR THAT CHEAP POLITICAL NATIONALISM ,,
Such a brave a girl. I thank you from the deepest of my heat🙏🙏🙏
And you know what, even after all this, we love UK. Indians aren't born with the desire for revenge, we believe in self correction. The past has gome, no use crying over it. Lets move on in harmony with the world is what Indians believe in. Welcoming nature, kindness and certain moral values are instilled in our blood. Proud to be an Indian.
I don’t love UK. apna paisa wapis karo. I don’t care for their apology either.
I dont love uk
I hate britishers nd their royal family
@@akshaya179 And why do you hate modern day British people? did they have anything to do with historical mistreatment? Any more than you suffered from the same? Hating a people because of their ethnicity.... can we say RACISM?
@@fatgeekuk i hate your grandparents nd royal family. I know todays generation s responsible for their ancestor's mistakes but some ignorant young British people justify british rule in India. Wat do u say abt tat?. Ask chinese abt their opinion on Japanese, jamaicans on british, native Americans on USA. U wont find good opinion coz thts the reality of colonism. The one who ruled, supressed others might forget abt that but not the one who were the victims of colonization
I don't love uk either
I'm from south India and I remember my grandfather telling me that "the British used to beat us up nd take away all our crops,grains,rice etc.so we used to hide the grains during harvest"
and my grand father used to tell that hindus at that times were powerful that they used to take our crops
@@aamirrehman9687 Your grandfather's father was a Hindu only. lol
@Bidu Bidu for shipping it to Britain
@Bidu Bidu Go read some history
@Bidu Bidu British forced farmers to give away the major shares of the crops,in order to export nd make money without paying the farmers.in other words huge taxing,
Really hurts today while seeing our kohinoor diamond in the British crown💔💔💔💔💎
There are two aspects 1) This generation in UK appear to be unknown to their past and all greedy things done by their ancestors. 2) If this and all future generations does some introspection world will be more happier place
It's their lack of knowledge, they should read thoroughly
generation in UK are far more literate and educated than what we are ,, we love to see people feel pathetic for the acts done by colonialist but we are ahppy to ignore the attoricties of our own ,,,,, did maraths apologize for the killings in bengal and rajputs ,, did brhaman apologize for the attrocities on shudras and dalits ,,, did islamist apologie for the attrocties during their rule ,,
britishers are gone they dont rule india ,, ther eis no doubt that they have committed many attrocities on us indians but its a bit arrognat and ignorant of us to continously seek apology while ignoring our own mistakes ,,
@@harshkumarf4379 All you have read about Marathas and Rajputs etc are propaganda by the british historians who writes only crap in the name of history...you haven't read the real history...you read the history written by the oppressors about the victims and take them as facts..then you are obviously going to be wrong about everything....you are an arrogant british and slavery apologist...you have been paid to put up anti-indian comments it seems....otherwise by citing wrong history what will you get....you don't know anything about Indian history, read the real scientific journels from all over the world with evidence to prove that all that britishers were saying were false...they are the worst kind of colonizers the world has ever seen...no indian rulers have ever done the atrocities that british have caused all over the world with the inquisitions, colonial rule, and tricky businness tactics...and you are defending them so you are a pathetic british apologist who is blind, so just want to tell you that no body will take your comments seriously and your comments doesn't hold any relevance whatsoever
@@harshkumarf4379
The period in which these atrocities happened was a different period or era....the kings used to fight with each other those days...right from the time of Ramayana or Mahabharata....so would you ask even gods to apologize for that....if these kingdoms faught with each other it was our internal matter....Britain had nothing to do with it...so what they did to us, can't be compared to this....
Its the first stage, giving them mental preparation, before we will make them pay and attain justice,next time world war starts! ITS OUR WILL!
I'm from Kerala ( India). I'm studying 10th grade and my whole history textbook is about colonization and British rules, and it's really interesting. Anyone from Kerala (India) can understand this. ( I don't know about other states). And I'm proud that this person , Shashi tharoor is from Kerala too. And my parents too voted for this man 🙏🙏🙏
Brother every state has that book
@@arpitsharma4376 sorry I didn't know that
Everyone has that book
Thats NCERT
Your apology on behalf of your country really moved me, and I genuinely appreciate it on behalf of my country. Honestly, even we aren't taught much in depth, but yes we're aware of most of it through various media.😊
That "SORRY" melted my heart dear... you are an angel.❤ lots'a love from india....
Isn't it obvious why you don't know? History is written by the oppressor - The White man
..while the oppressed were forced into making the parchment and ink.
Now that the British have left, there is no excuse for all the killings, murders, rapes, thefts, corruption, bribery, pillaging, servitude, slavery, poverty, homelessness, destitution, prostitution, widow burning, child labour, domestic violence, bullying, abuse of Indians done by other Indians, Indian Government, Indian Politicians, Indian Elite, Indian Institutions, Indian Education providers, Indian Media, Indian Courts, Indian Police.
@@MK-nj5up this doesn't justify British doing. What British did can't be compared to anything. Is there no crime in Britain. British have there own society and should had stayed there only. Your whataboutism is not going to work here.
So true..
Completely aggreed, and Same applies to Aryan and Upper Caste hindu in terms of real Indian history
@@MK-nj5up Name ONE country on the world map where all these crimes are non-existant and then when you fail, look at India's population.

I love the fact that After ruling india for so long , Right now , India is ahead of Uk in Military, manufacturing and almost everything that matters!! 💯👏
I willl be more happy if in India average salary will be greater than average of UK😀😀😀
It's good to see a British citizen like u reacting to this video & have the sense of sympathy to what your ancestors had done to the indian subcontinent....
Watch out Dr. Tharoor's other videos.. u'll get some more facts..🙏
I am an Anglo Indian of British ancestry, a race unintentionally created by the English Empire when both my great grandfathers fell in love with not only my grandmothers but this land too, India. The Anglo_Indians came together to build a better India, by Anglo Indians taking to the Education system as teachers and principals. Anglo India helped us get back in the last 60 years more educated and more aware. The Anglo-Indian has a complex mind with a split conscience, being, able to think from both perspectives giving us the edge We have our very own community in various parts of India. We have different types of food, dressing styles and have English both as our mother tongue and father tongue ( If that's a thing, lol). We are a small community, forgotten and dying, but a few of us still fight for who we are, we are a combination of all cultures here in India, We are India.
*Why would someone highlight their own mistakes!!* That's why you DO NOT get this taught
Rick , it’s the mind of crooks which tends to shun away from talking about their own mistakes.
A honest human would at least try to understand, which is what she did.
A greater human being would bring it up and be honest about it; even though we can’t undo what our forefathers did - it’s important to understand & have the balls to talk about it.
Germany did
@@siddharthaganguly1021 Germany is better than UK on so many levels
That was not a mistake but was a deliberate crime
Each time when I watch this video and listen to his words, it boils my blood!!
I'm surprised that you had enough courage to listen to what was being said about your ancestors. And accepting what was being said. Well done 👍
When Bhagat Singh and his friends were on hunger strike, they were literally tortured to end the hunger strike, and in the end they got a death sentence when they were not even in the court.
Me: looking for Brits comments.😂
Obviously there are none..I'm glad that she is acknowledging it....hope no money is made out of this video. Hope this raises awareness among some of the Brits atleast.
Yes exactly, it just breaks my heart that our country was known as "sone ki chidiya (the golden bird)" and now we are struggling rebuilding our nation because by the help of these Mughals and Britishers our country was left starving 🥺.
I belong to a family in India where most of our great grand parents and their other family memebers were freedom fighters. We grew up listing to the tortures that were done to them. There are millions of families who were effected like ours, British people left India with no infrastructure, no industry, on top of that they agreed to divide the country to such ways that it has create a religious mishap regularly for years, and it'll still continue. It's really funny where all we grew up listing to is torture stories, which were done to us from some outsiders, and you all grew up listing to is world war and how great your country was. That breaks my heart in different levels.
They don't even teach these facts in their schools..that's sad
Dear Rebecca, thank you for showing us this video. As an Indian, I can say that Indians never hate British people despite all the oppression that our forefathers had to bear. They fought against the rulers as this was our Dharma. Having said that, the current British government should apologize for the masacre of Jalianwala Bag mass murder. We can not demand because we are waiting for the time when the apologies will come from the heart. Also, the division of India and Pakistan was the worst thing which British rulers had executed before departing in 1947. We are still fighting with each other. Undivided India could have been as strong as China today if India-Pakistan did not have to spend huge money on fighting war. We could have had Bangladesh also together. However, all extreme challenges make a living being more competent. I know India will lead the world one day not only with her economic strength but with virtues which is the core of this ancient land. Please do not feel sorry as a British as you do not have any control over the flow of time and events. As a human, of course, anyone will feel sorry and would pray for those who suffered and finally gave up their mortal bodies. As the land believes in immortality of human beings, those were the most sacred souls who gave us inspiration to fight back and overcome fears within us. Love and regards to you as always ! Take care dear 🤗
I can send you my 10th grade History book. Everything you need to know is in it.
Actually no ! It doesn't have even 1% of the real past. We are still behind not due to colonization but due to inner problems of the country.
@@MS.Paints it's still one of the best popular sources yk. Any more detailed sources are too complex, and any more vague sources aren't worth it. Also it's a government book so it's one of the best sources to read for it. Of course it won't have the emotional and psychological aspect, but people can understand a bit from them
16:50 NO! It's not that old..
it's less than 75 years old it's definitely your grandparents' generation that participated in this.
I realised, after hearing Mr Tharoor speak on this topic, that every European country came to terms with its colonial past. Germany & Italy are examples given here. France, Belgium and Holland have each made generous gestures by according former subjects citizenship/settlement rights. Britain stands apart in comparison. In addition, France and others have included their dark colonial past as part of their curriculum and therefore their educational systems are held in regard for fairness and rigour.
The longer Britain, Spain and Portugal dither, the harder it will be for them to come to peace with their past.
React to the British museum.. If someone want to see India's rich history then please go to British museum..
Trust me that speech was too limited what our grandparents tells us
i would like to know more what your grandparents have told you.
Tell us the whole truth
As someone who hails from the Indian Subcontinent, I deeply appreciate your sense of remorse on behalf of your country, UK. Colonial history has deliberately never been taught in UK schools because the UK Government does not want its citizens to know the in-depth ugly details of the extent in which people’s lives in Britain’s far-flung colonies have been totally ruined as a result of the British colonial enterprise. I think it’s high time the people and the Government of UK openly acknowledge their crimes against their past colonies and offer unconditional apologies to all of them, not just India. Reparations are most definitely owed.
There used to boards in theatres and trains saying "no indian and dogs allowed"

@@MK-nj5up Mate, I think you are not getting it. They exploited Indians even mentally too... Through substandard education policies. And the divide and rule policy has worked out very well... There are proofs that they even got hold of the scriptures of the culture and made sure the people are cut away from roots. You weren't there to witness the degree to which the mental exploitation ( along with the wealth and other stuff) took place. The present day maladies faced by the country are an effect of those various exploitations... If you don't agree then see for yourself before British GDP share 24% after British 3% .... Do you think that 24% was possible with the present day problems you mentioned? All that people want is to recognise what wrongs were done and just feel for those people who lived through those dark times and not be proud of wrongly taught criminal ( I couldn't put it more gently) history.... No one is blaming present day UK and its people . The people of India just want you to realise and just feel for those wrongs.... But the concern is no one knows what they did was wrong( I don't know what factors contribute to this disinformation) and are very proud of the British colonial rule.... That hurts the people of the former colonies of the empire

Thank you for this reaction and also for genuinely apologising even though it is not your fault at all. It reduced the pain I fell when I learn my history and imagine what my country could have been if not colonized. Thank you.
thanks for understanding and I can clearly see that u feel bad and another video I saw britishers react they were asked if they are ashamed of those ancestors and they said they arent ashamed
Thank you for your kind reaction..
He only scratched the surface..
But history is history..
Now we look forward toward world and bond our friend to world.
Thank you.
Namastey
When the speaker said saying sorry goes a long way, what he actually meant was accepting the atrocities done and making sure that Britishers are aware of it, because once people are aware and accept, normal human beings would feel sorry. So instead of saying sorry in the video over and over again just make sure that you know more about this and let others around you know too. All the best. 🙂
I do agree with you. How could anyone be sorry for anything if they don't have guilt.
British government did a awesome job at hiding their history.
One of British said that he didn't have any idea about it and didn't think to be sorry about it.
It takes lots of guts to say sorry too.. Im happy to hear that some British are knowing what happened to India and they are sorry about it.. i really appreciate your honesty and trues nature
She feels sorry that means a lot to us ..... It's well appreciated
It is all about views and money. Go to her original channel her reactions are extremely fake.
Just the ability to sit, listen and understand criticism shows maturity and progressive thinking.
You know I am really proud that we are very forgiving, Its like the best way in which you prove that you are a bigger and a better person and still respect every damn stuff of this world🙂🙂
#CrossCultural I think it would be great if you could recommend or share this video with your family and friends to spread awareness since you said it's not taught in your school's
Yeah share among ur friends
Young lady, with all due respect, I wish you hadn't talked during the speech. You missed a few key points, however minor they may seem🙏...you know something, when young people only know about history, starting from the year they born, it's very sad. In fact, many don't really even know that history, or actually even care...knowing and caring about two to three hundred year old history is to expect a lot from them. But remember, those who forget about history(negative), are doomed to repeat it, or watch it repeated. In so many ways, unfortunately, we are watching it being repeated. Colonisation never ended, it just took on different avatars...look around you. I respect your opinions and sentiments and that's why I watch your reactions. Stay safe, healthy...and most importantly, stay informed! 🇮🇳🇧🇪🔒...in Belgium.
Personally, I am very happy that you said it. I am an Indian. Love to Britain from India!!
Your honesty makes a difference.
We can't change history.
What we can do is not repeat it. Cheers....
At least repent.

One of the best reactions to this topic; emotional, heartfelt and honest. If the present generation thinks like you then we have no complaints about the past..
My dear, there is no way any country wants their future generations to know the dark things it did in history.
Don't think that it was a bad reaction from you , actually it is the true reaction that came directly from your heart. And I think in every school they should teach the facts about history. Because it is a right of every human to know about the past , not just what great things has done by their heros but also what unacceptable things have done by them and how people are still suffering because of the past , specially who lost their loved ones. I'm gonna subscribe your chanel now because of your acceptance about the history. Thanks for reacting on this video. Keep doing it.
Thank u for trying to understand India 😀😀😀
If you really want to know more and you have interest in reading then you should read his book An era of darkness .
His book is also named as - 'Inglorious Empire'
Recently, I suggested Shassi Tharoor’s books to a Britisher, but he simply discounted the book as highly biased against Britain, and he had his own account of Britain rule
U r so kind girl and real too
N u don't overreact like others do.
Chutiya wo on behalf of Britishers bol rahi and every britisher should say sorry...
I really appreciate Shashi sir's stand. He laid down all the facts without being rude in speech or expression. The best thing is what he said at the end - you can't ever pay adequate reparation to some one who lost a dear one due to you. The principle of reparation needs to be recognised. I would personally be happy even if 1 pound was paid each year for 200 years for the 200 years they oppressed us. That was really commendable.
And it is very nice Rebecca, to see that you humbly accepted the truth, and apologised for all that your ancestors did even though you weren't guilty for the same. Thanks for that.
The British loot was best „money heist“ chapter 💰💴!!!!
Also, the British dictionary word "pundit", again "loot"ed from India 😂And I'm sure there are many such words, similar to their looted show-off of Brit museums, handlooms, mashed potatoes, etc. !
Even they looted the word loot
Exactly
Dr. Tharoor educated all the Oxford students, faculty, staffs the only chapter that was missing from their history book.
yeah nobody wants to hear bad history of their own country, but that's truth. so now its time british younger generations should be knowing about this
9:19 Why would any nation tell their new generation that how brutally they oppressed and killed colonials....
Every time you said I am sorry.. it brings a drop coming out of my eyes.. I don't know why.. I can still feel for the people at that time of India.. you're so genuine as a person.. and we as Indian respect that..
The Queen still wears a diamond stolen from India in the crown
It's ok ...even we didn't taught about these so many things in school because if they taught us these than British empire will fall down in few years
Thank you for saying "I am Sorry" this means alot to us.
Even a single person acknowledging is a good start.
I accept you apologizes, We hope there should be no bitterness between each of us going forward!
Who the fk are you to forgive them on indias and on indians behalf.. Hutiye
As ur name shows @ master slave u really are a coward n born to be a slave, and who the bloody hell r u to accept any apologizes in behalf of us, these whites can never be forgiven for what they hv done to our country, and yes all their generations either past or upcoming will always be in debt to our country, n should feel guilty for what their ancestors have done,,,.
And one more thing why the so called royal family of uk have no audacity to say sorry to our nation, as dr tharoor quoted in his speech,,,,, will these so called royals hv guts to accept the harsh n bitter reality of their past?????
Answer this, ha koi reply?? Islye faltu ki bc karne ki jarurat ni ha,, bloody chepo, gori ladki dekhi ni ki apologizy accept karne wale ban gaye, abe chutyie kavi school me history aur moral science thik se padi hoti na to aj ye comment ni kiya hota tune..
