Inglorious Empire

What the British Did to India

Shashi Tharoor

Discover the true story of British rule in India through Inglorious Empire. Author Shashi Tharoor takes on the myth of enlightened despotism and exposes how British imperialism was built upon the plunder of India. From institutionalized racism to the destruction of India's textile industry, every "gift" from the railways to the rule of law was designed solely for Britain's benefit. Tharoor's bold reassessment reveals the devastating effects of British colonialism on India and its people.

@MonsieurBenger @historychappy I think its a very important book nonetheless, and has done more to alter the narrative than whole libraries of dustier and duller books on colonialism. I'm a big fan of the author and his basic argument is not only correct but forcefully, eloquently and stylishly laid out.      источник
