Postcolonial perspective: Shashi Tharoor


An author, politician, and former international civil servant, Shashi Tharoor straddles several worlds of experience. Currently a second-term Lok Sabha MP representing the Thiruvananthapuram constituency and Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on External Affairs, he has previously served as Minister of State for Human Resource Development and Minister of State for External Affairs in the Government of India. During his nearly three-decade long prior career at the United Nations, he served as a peacekeeper, refugee worker, and administrator at the highest levels, serving as Under-Secretary General during Kofi Annan's leadership of the organisation.

Once upon a time when, Britishers ruled over India for so many years. After a lots of struggle we get independence. There were thousands debates going on still now on colonial and post colonial idea.

Shashi Tharoor  presented all his view on British Empire and India and how they do loot in India.

In India 15 to 20% people died by starvation. He gave example of Bengal family. During the Second World war - 4 million people died because of starvation.

Britishers make money from the poor Indians by various kind of Taxes and make their own country rich, day by day ..
