''Tharoor''s impassioned polemic slices straight to the heart of the darkness that drives all empires ..laying bare the grim, and high, cost of the British Empire for its former subjects. An essential read'' Financial Times
In the eighteenth century, India''s share of the world economy was as large as Europe''s. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-foldThe Empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism, and caused millions to die from starvation.
British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor takes demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial ''gift'' - from the railways to the rule of law - was designed in Britain''s interests aloneHe goes on to show how Britain''s Industrial Revolution was founded on India''s deindustrialisation, and the destruction of its textile industry.
