Postcolonial perspective and Shashi Tharoor
Shashi Tharoor is member of parliament, he given postcolonial argument. He written a book on that 'An Era of Darkness'. He asserts that Britishers are not developers of any colonies. According to him real Thugs Of Hindustan were Britishers, in the name of free trade they are looting the Indians. In a way the word loot is a Hindi word and they taking the word in their dictionary. This is how Shashi Tharoor make a satire on British Empire.
#Shashi Tharoor make claims that, when the Britishers were left in 1947 from India, 90% of the population living below the poverty line. The growth rate of India from 1900 to 1947 was 0.001%. Britishers imposed taxes on the import of Indian textile. In real sense they make fool of Indians in the name of business and achieved captive market at the point of gun.
#Economic situation of the colonies were worst by the experience of british colonialism. They started exporting raw materials from India and shipping back manufactured cloth and the result was, the weavers in India become beggars.
Shashi Tharoor make a satire by giving this sentence, "The sun never sets of the British Empire because, even God couldn't trust the English in the dark"
#In the case of education they claim that we raised the education level but, the truth India developed Institute of Technology, colleges for engineering were established after independence. American historians travelled and point out that the universities were less than half from the high school budgets of New York.
Dehumanizing of Africa and Caribbean, psychological damage happen that has been done by British colonisers. Even today many of problems in these countries, like racial and religious tension were the effect of colonialism.
