DR. SHASHI THAROOR | The Most Iconic Speech Ever | Reality of INDIAN Colonisation |English Speeches
-----------------
Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking debate at the Oxford Union, where Dr. Shashi Tharoor delivers a searing critique of British colonial rule in India. In this powerful speech, Dr. Tharoor meticulously dissects the economic, social, and humanitarian impact of nearly two centuries of British dominance.
Dr. Tharoor begins by highlighting the staggering decline in India's share of the global GDP, which plummeted from 23% before British colonization to a mere 4% by the time they left. This economic exploitation, he argues, drained India's wealth and stunted its development. He goes on to discuss the horrific famines that ravaged India under British rule, leading to the deaths of millions. These famines were exacerbated, if not caused, by British policies and negligence, revealing a callous disregard for Indian lives.
Moreover, Dr. Tharoor delves into the various atrocities committed by the British, including massacres, systemic discrimination, and the ruthless suppression of dissent. He points out that the so-called "development" brought by the British, such as railways and infrastructure, was primarily designed to serve British interests and facilitate the extraction of resources from India, rather than to benefit the Indian population.
Throughout his speech, Dr. Tharoor compellingly argues that the narrative of benevolent colonialism is a myth, and he calls for a reassessment of colonial history that acknowledges the suffering and exploitation endured by colonized nations. This debate is essential viewing for anyone interested in understanding the true impact of colonialism and the ongoing relevance of this history in contemporary discussions about justice and reparations.
Don't miss this powerful and enlightening discussion, where Dr. Tharoor's eloquence and scholarship bring to light the profound injustices of the colonial era.
