This Stolen Island is Now a Military Base | Flashback with Palki Sharma

This Stolen Island is Now a Military Base | Flashback with Palki Sharma

In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States and the United Kingdom stole an island located in the Indian Ocean. They emptied the island of its local population and converted it into a military base in the middle of the ocean. That island is called Diego Garcia. Once frequented by Indian and Arab sailors, the discovery of this island by Europeans led to rapid developments that would shape its future. From colonisation to expulsion to occupation, this is the story of an injustice that is yet to be addressed. How did the UK and the US take control of this strategically important island? Who is the rightful owner of this land? And what happened to the locals who once lived there? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.
