As we all know that Shashi Tharoor is well known writer and Minister in Indian national Congress.

Shashi Tharoor presented all his view on British Empire and India and how they do loot in India.
British left India as most poorest country. India was most developed country all over the world before British came in India. British left India in poverty. People were suffering from poverty and hunger. British had all control in their hands. They have control over the technology and suppling things. They do development only in their country.
British gave world only one thing that effects on people's minds that is violence and Racism. They considered themselves more superior than others because they have white skin. They consider themselves more civilised and cultured. So the concept of Racism was given by British to consider themselves superior.
Thus british empire create dehumanization , exploitation , violence , bloodshed , psychological damage , poverty structure, today's problems are direct result of British colonial experience.

Thank you...................
