Shashi Tharoor interview: How British Colonialism 'destroyed' India

‘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.

"If you don't know where you come from, how will you appreciate where you're going"

“Indians should forgive but not forget”
“You keep losing with us on cricket”
Two epic lines 😄😄

"Indians are very good at forgiving and forgetting, which I object to. Let them forgive, but not forget." Mr. Tharoor's opening remarks are spot on.

“Let them forgive but not forget”
What a line!

Respect from Sri Lanka.

We Indians are admiring Shashi a lot but no one recognized that this interview is so professional. This host didn't turn hostile and asked the proper questions and listened to answers very patiently. Good Job.

*_Simple thing_* *SHASHI THAROOR CAN TEACH ENGLISH TO THE ENGLISH*

Sashi Tharoor, roasted Britain without saying “Britain.”

[biharimauryashaivist]

The fact that the British is ashamed of telling their children that their wealth was looted from India, speaks volumes of how intellectually bankrupt they are.

[harshkusekar]

Looted a rich country and calling them self as " Great Britain "
🤦‍♂️

[gava]

"If you don't know where you come from how will you appreciate where you're going! " Gave me goosebumps 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[extrastory]

Sashi and his English... Even the English are What an English 😁😁😂😂😂

[rohansingh]

[ibreddy]

Congress can make him party president if they seriously thinking of reviving it

[ericawiingseeto]

Even though I’m not Indian, but I feel this man speaks on behalf of any country or continent who was and is colonised by the British. Mad Respect from Vanuatu 🇻🇺

[sarangpahwa]

"If you don't know where you come from, how will you know where your going." That's a line. 💯💫
