    Shashi Tharoor: Britain owes reparations to India

    I find this kind of rabid nationalism just too dangerous. Nobody here is justifying the colonialism or praising British rule over India. What someone us are saying is that you cannot judge history and branch it into good and evil since you have to look at that event from that particular...

    Shashi Tharoor: Britain owes reparations to India

    I believe in rationalism and looking at things objectively. There was no realistic chance of India escaping colonialism because as i said India was a prime property.. Thats is why just about every other colonial empire was trying their luck to capture India. Had it not been for the...

    Shashi Tharoor: Britain owes reparations to India

    I rather be a self loathing ignoramus troll than be an arrogant blind hyper nationalist. I will tell you why he has no right to speak about British rule in India. When British were ruling India,they created an elite class of Indians who were basically Indian in appearance but British by...

    Shashi Tharoor: Britain owes reparations to India

    What moral right does he have to point fingers at the British ?his party has done twice more damage to the country than the former colonial masters. British were colonial rulers,what did you except for them? All colonial rulers were plundered and Britain was no different. Playing the victim...
