    Somewhat that political student's question was relevant. Yes, the Modi government is seizing the freedom of expression and press pluralism which only means the British legacy is still deep-rooted in today's India although you contempt it. Look at the practical side of the Indian Caste System since after it was abolished. The backward caste is still struggling to emerge and the Indian government and its militants target and exploit them as they please. No God or caste should be divisive in the year 2024, because it would result in a primitive approach. Again, the racism around skin colour is another example. You can't come up with the Indian social excuse of justifying Indian socio-economic inequality as the by-product of KARMA. That would sound too primitive and devolutionary approach for a country like India that aspires to become the world's Ist economic and geopolitical power. Without taking care of socio-economic equality and basic human rights, no country could be addressed as a world's economic power. On a world platform. Caste and karma excuses will be obsolete in nearly 2025 for any country that aspires to become the world's No.1.

    Yes, the British Historical Amnesia! What a fake monarchy and subjects! Well, it is now the turn of India to ask Great Britain back the looted money, raw materials and should hold them accountable before International Court of Justice for the deliberate genocide they triggered during Bengal famine. The time has come for the current British generation to acknowledge and pay back(at once) what their ancestors did to India and India people, during British colonialism, in the Indian sub-continent as exactly the current Germany did with one of the African countries, recently. No generational excuse can free the current Brits from the dark pages of their colonial past history. The UGLY FACT is that their school history books PRETEND they brought democracy and civilization during their colonial era to all continents, which in fact is a PRESUMPTION and a deliberate image washing tactic by the Brits to ease their conscience. Totally unacceptable the way they dared to claim their evil actions as an ACT of GENEROSITY towards their ex-colonies, let alone towards the Indian subcontinent which marked the world's II ever civilization(Mohanjo Daro) way before the Brits were even born! One should visit the hidden CELLULAR JAIL(Andaman Nicobar Island) where Indian Freedom Fighters were tortured and hanged to death in the most brutal way by British Crown soldiers, during those 200 years! If you ask me, my statement would be: India and other victim countries of British colony(British Invasion in modern jargon) deserve to take everything back that the current Brits have in the UK. The current British generation should have the humility to acknowledge and give their ex-colonies back everything they looted from all continents which was the driving force of British economy and prosperity of the Brits,' throughout the post colonial era. They can take Germany as example on this regard. Humility is lacking and presumptuous attitude spikes amongst the Brits of today.

  • @elisabetta4478
    @elisabetta4478 Před 5 dny

    There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonization of India - as horrible as it may have been - was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself. If anything, the administration of India was a cost to Britain. So the fact that the empire was sustained for so long - the story goes - was a gesture of Britain’s benevolence. This shows how presumptuous and pretending the Brits are! A real British Image Washing tactic.

    Reviews for the book INGLORIOUS EMPIRE found on Amazon: Tharoor convincingly demolishes some of the more persistent myths about Britain's supposedly civilizing mission in India ... [he] charts the destruction of per-colonial systems of government by the British and their ubiquitous ledgers and rule books ... The statistics are worth repeating. -- Victor Mallet ― Financial Times Inglorious Empire is a timely reminder of the need to start teaching unromanticised colonial history in British schools. A welcome antidote to the nauseating righteousness and condescension pedalled by Niall Ferguson in his 2003 book Empire ― Irish Times His writing is a delight and he seldom misses his target ... Tharoor should be applauded for tackling an impossibly contentious subject ... he deserves to be read. Indians are not the only ones who need reminding that empire has a lot to answer for. ― Literary Review Remarkable ... The book is savagely critical of 200 years of the British in India. It makes very uncomfortable reading for Brits -- Matt Ridley ― The Times Tharoor's impassioned polemic slices straight to the heart of the darkness that drives all empires. Forceful, persuasive and blunt, he demolishes Raj nostalgia, laying bare the grim, and high, cost of the British Empire for its former subjects. An essential read -- Niljana Roy ― Financial Times Ferocious and astonishing. Essential for a Britain lost in sepia fantasies about its past, Inglorious Empire is history at its clearest and cutting best -- Ben Judah Those Brits who speak confidently about how Britain's "historical and cultural ties" to India will make it easy to strike a great new trade deal should read Mr Tharoor's book. It would help them to see the world through the eyes of the ... countries once colonised or defeated by Britain -- Gideon Rachman ― Financial Times Rare indeed is it to come across history that is so readable and so persuasive -- Amitav Ghosh Eloquent ... a well-written riposte to those texts that celebrate empire as a supposed "force for good" ― BBC World Histories Tharoor's book - arising from a contentious Oxford Union debate in 2015 where he proposed the motion "Britain owes reparations to her former colonies" - should keep the home fires burning, so to speak, both in India and in Britain. ... He makes a persuasive case, with telling examples ― History Today Brilliant ... A searing indictment of the Raj and its impact on India. ... Required reading for all Anglophiles in former British colonies, and needs to be a textbook in Britain -- Salil Tripathi, Chair of the Writers in Prison Committee, PEN International, and author of The Colonel Who Would Not Repent Persuasive and well-founded ... the book convincingly demolishes the nostalgic, self-serving arguments voiced by imperial apologists ― Time Literary Supplement. The Author SHASHI THAROOR is the bestselling author of twenty books, both fiction and non-fiction, besides being a noted critic and columnist. His books include the pathbreaking satire The Great Indian Novel (1989), the classic India: From Midnight to the Millennium (1997), the bestselling An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India, for which he won the Ramnath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism, 2016, for Books (Non-Fiction), and The Paradoxical Prime Minister: Narendra Modi and His India. He has been Under Secretary-General of the United Nations and Minister of State for Human Resource Development and Minister of State for External Affairs in the Government of India. He is a three-time member of the Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram and chairs the Parliament Information Technology committee. He has won numerous literary awards, including a national Sahitya Akademi award, a Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Crossword Lifetime Achievement Award. He was awarded the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman, India's highest honour for overseas Indians, in 2004, and honoured as New Age Politician of the Year (2010) by NDTV.

    It's very sus. Archeologists like french dr.Patou Mathis shows violence increased suddenly after sedentarization and 'invention' of private property, proving jean jacques Rousseau (who said the first human who put a fence around a land and claimed 'this is mine' invented wars) right. I also heard another doctor in archeology saying steven pinker was telling nonsense not related to archeological archives. Steven pinker has to give his sources, it's very concerning all these graphs he shows all the time are debunked by professional archeologists so often. He seems to make his own math without serious source, which he admits over and over in this conference by saying things like 'I compiled numbers' or 'I've looked into it and made this graph', while he's not an archeologist.

      If Americans make a rationed vote like we did in Mexico recently with Claudia Shiembaum, Cornel West is the man who could save the United States from leading the world into World War III with Biden or continuing American imperialism with Trump. While with Cornel West all americans would make history due to the fact that americans would have for the first time a capitalist government with a socialist orientation of Henri de Saint Simón I say this because of the way this man speaks. But the sad thing is that Mr. West has no chance of winning, because the favorite of the masses is Trump. Although the winds of change have blown lately. Americans, be smart, Have the courage to change the destiny of your lives and the world with your reasoned vote. Biden knocks down every Chinese peace attempt in Ukraine and gives this country permission to attack Russian cities. Now I ask you, who is the bad guy?
