There is one thing legendary about Shashi Tharoor is that no matter what disagreements he had with the ruling party in India, when it comes to arguing with foreigners, he always represents and defends the whole India and Modi or whoever is related with India, he doesn't let the local arguments come between the foreign debates. He represents Bharat ❤
Underated comment ❤️❤️
Plz dont put modi at his level 🙄.
@@Spinko7128 who is putting modi to his level idiot

He should actually replace Rahul Gandhi as the leader of Congress
yes long back, perfect replacement

Congress won't
It will always want the family members to take over the party
Priyanka gandhi vadra is also a suitable leader but she won't be given the position for pm
Iska chance ni hai bcoz he is tharoor not gandhi....
Yes
6:20 I am a 14year old from Kolkata, West Bengal, India & even my mother's great grandfather had witnessed the Bengal famine - my great grandfather's uncle, sister, & many other relatives died of starvation & lack of resources in that famine.
The fact that some Britishers still think that they improved India & other South & East Asian countries by colonizing them - is what makes me both sad & angry.
"The Sun never sets on the British Empire because even God is afraid of the British in the dark."
- Shashi Tharoor
Let me correct your last sentence....the sun never sets on the British empire bcs even GOD never trust the english in the dark.
Well said. I know you truly are a 14 year old Bengali because of the way you speak/ write. I can smell the Bengali in you because I am one too even though I am North American by my documented identity.
My grandparents and parents went through the atrocities too.
I went to England as a student years ago and made them lick my rear. Felt good when they played victim….long story short, I complained on everything they did and gave them a hard time.
British of this generation and others even some Indians think British improved India because that is the way they are taught. In British schools they teach biased history, not the truth. We see some bridges and other infrastructure British built but they robbed the coutry at gun point. My father living in 1930s 40s and my grand father and great grand father all lived in povety. Native kings were forced to pay exhorbitatant taxes to the British, other wise they will attack and dethrone them. but in Kerala there were some patriots like Veluthampi Dalawa and Pazhassi Raja in early 1800s who stood up against British and murdered by British, but they died as Champions of patriotism, dignity and honor. Even the fellow Indians betrayed them.
I'm also from west bengal
@@reneemanzoor746 how did you move to USA ?
I'm a Bengali from Dhaka, the Bengal famine was devastating, it's effects can be seen even today. It completely changed our diets.

You are absolutely correct on your assumptions. India politics are dominated by males since day one. This Indian male politicians
can't even made the most important decision in theirs life.
Theirs parents have to select their wife for them because they does not know how. In the west, we called them momma boys. These Indian males politicians just can't made the tough decisions to move theirs nation forwards.
I did a little study on the colonisation of India. And he's complete right. India was doing amazing. Then the British completely ravaged India, stole all their riches and destroyed many of their industries (another was shipbuilding... India made the best ships and so Britain essentially outlawed Indian ships). They were absolutely the bad guys. And Britain's wealth definitely came in part from what they stole and exploited of India.
Are you kidding man, there was no women education in india. How many years would you think it would have taken for 'sati' system to be banned, for woman education to be started.
It was because of the missionaries, all these happened. Check out William Carrey. And how he changed india's lot of problems.
He translated gita or vedas in bengali language. He started first degree awarding serompore University in Kolkata.
He brought printing technology to India for the first time, he brought english education for children and for girls too. He helped raja ram mohan roy to ban sati, and then after the ban, he translated the ban notice in bengali so that common people would be able to know or be aware of it.
He translated dictionaries to bengali language
@@krithik6535 i don't deny lol. This auto spell or some misspelling ruined it
Anyway try now. xD
It's history lol. Everyone was the bad guy. Those times were different. Conquering, conquests and profits were the law of the land. Every king was a war criminal. You're judging the past by the standards of morality of today's time which are different. There was no international law or UN to judge who were the bad guys and who weren't back then.

Shashi is an exceptional human being, I listened in awe,so knowledgeable. He answered in a calm flow
I would say he is like Hitler in the 1930's .....blames the British for everything like Hitler blames the Jews.....turns a blind eye to the dark side of India....pollution, scams, looting,rape,caste indifference, over population, climate change, war with Pakistan, Indian arms race, raping of goats.....

Arabs spread into Africa? When?
@@sm1sm2sm3 When the Roman Empire fragmented after 400 BC, the Ummayad travelled throughout all of north Africa and Morocco, which is part of Africa, and also they spread to Java, bangladesh, etc. It is simplistic for humans to try their small brains at sovereign blame games. as if the children of working class enslaved by previous elites can be judged, like blaming ordinary people for banking practices. bank owners are more to blame than countries. Muslims let themselves by manipulated very easily regarding Isreal and the axa mosque, when the Hagra Sophia is 300 years older, and 20 times larger than aqsa mosque... The british had an opportunity to get rid of your brothers, the jews, after the Germans made dozens of incineration factoies for the jews, and in return they got you in return :D

So don't make your country look innocent in this case.
I am a fan of how he answers any question!! 🇮🇳
Shashi Tharoor is the prime example of the outstanding knowledge one can accumulate if he/she does reading.
Hats Off Sir.
Big Fan.
Brits are no different than Nazis.....Difference is today's Germany is ashamed of its horrific past , but Brits are proud of their imperial past !
True true my dear.. Britishers are looters..
If the public say they are 'proud to be British' online, there a good chance are over a certain age, or more likely to be from furthest south of England. The further south you go in the UK, the more 'British' people seem to want to be, but... the word 'British' means different things to different people. You will hardly ever hear someone from N Ireland or Scotland say 'British', especially when it has not been long after an independence vote in the latter. All countries including Wales have separate governments today too. Some people don't think of imperial history at all hearing the word 'British', because many don't know very much about it. Even some people in England are not in favour of the government or it's disconnected royal imperial past. Some in the UK will say the same about the royal family in Britain, stealing (tax money) to fund their expensive extravagant weddings and other ventures ;)

@@anonymousturtle8562 Drivels are driven here as the main agendas, but whatever said in this debate was 100% on the money by Tharoor
@@khalnayakshah7078 India wasn't one of the "richest" countries in the world in 1700. Per Angus Maddison, they had a GDP PPP per capita of $550 (1990 dollars.) The only consolation is that most of the rest of the world was nearly as impoverished (world average per capita: $616). What India did have was 165 million people, in a world total of 603 million.
By pre-industrial revolution standards, India's economy *did* continue to grow reasonably, more than doubling GDP from 1700 by 1950. The problem is that India's population also more than doubled, with per capita left essentially unchanged. Meanwhile, world average per capita GDP went from $616 to $2113, with total world population quadrupling. There was no running over India in industrialization; they were merely left in the dust, impoverished in the same way as before.
India wasn't ready to build the complex powered machines of the Industrial Revolution, that finally (for the first time in history) lifted common people out of horrible poverty. They were unable to produce even simple printing presses until aided by the British, with the first Nagari/Devanagari books printed in the early 19th century.
@@khalnayakshah7078 I see no serious scholarship backing the contention that the British ever cut off the thumbs of Indian weavers, especially in some famous incident. According to the blog of Sanjeev Sabhlok (PhD from USC, writer for _The Times of India),_ it is a myth invented after 1900, based on a much earlier 18th century legend that some silk spinners cut their own thumbs off as a sign of protest, rather than being impressed into working for the British.
AFAIK, the British also didn't eat babies...
@@khalnayakshah7078 The British didn't prevent Indians from educating themselves. Parsis had a 79.1% literacy rate in the 1931 census, higher than the average of India today, showing that Indians who valued education could obtain such. But like today, as I'll show a little later, most Indians didn't put such a priority on education.
It's true that the British didn't do a good job of giving Indians a publicly paid modern education; but like with Afghanistan today (or under the Soviets), Indian traditionalists just got angry when the British did try to give Indians modern educations.
Among the reasons for the sepoy mutiny were teaching math and science instead of traditional religion; teaching girls and low/no caste people at all (but especially that sati was something bad, or widow re-marriage was reasonable); and disrespecting astrology.
As Amartya Sen has noted, India and China were nearly identical in most statistics in 1950. Since then, have Indians cared about education in the same way as the Chinese? Well, Chinese students today score at the very top of PISA international tests. Indian students scored last out of 74 regions in 2009 PISA+ testing, excepting Kyrgyzstan in two topics. China has many of the best regarded universities on the planet. The best Indian universities don't rank in the world's top 500, and their universities _offer advanced degrees in astrology._
The only Indians who seem to be passionate about a modern education mostly seem to have fled the subcontinent for places like Britain.
Who else like Shashi's sense of humour?
Probably a few bcoz his English is hard to catch

I liked how he "attacked" the British and yet still put on a smiley sort of expression and no-one can every get angry with this man, he is a true honest gentleman and India should be proud of this man and should vote him as the head of india.

It would be wrong to label tharoor as a politician. He is truly a writer and a liberal thinker making india proud in the international arena of intellectuals and presenting India's view wherever possible on the injustices done to her by the colonial exploiters.
It's not India's people unique view. It's the modern western leftist propaganda. And yes, he IS a politician because he delivers his own political agenda through his books
Dr. Tharoor is a great guy with his knowledge and his influencing skills.It is the wrong boat he is in(Congress). He would have easliy won all of Indian hearts and proudly made him the PM of india

The British didn’t bring education to India we already had the education before hand the oldest university in India nalanda university made in the 7 th century by Gupta empire.
Davinder Kaur you are alive since then?
first known university was formed in middle east brother.somewhere around 8th century
im pretty sure ,the one u mentioned is an ashram
@@nabeelnazer7103 LoL you know nothing about history
@@nabeelnazer7103 the first university to be established was the Nalanda, during the gupta dynasty . Abd no it's not an ashram. It's a proper University with different specialities. Look it up.
And we had better education than them.
Love for shashi from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
We agree with u that british was curse for India Bangladesh and Pakistan
Not only British but Mughal rulers too . Sadly we have been separated with our own people and land just because of advent of newer religion because People of Indus Valley only knew to accept .
@Rahul I don’t think same about Mughals. Not because I am muslim. Sashi sir told that India was a wealthiest country before British came.Before British came the ruller was Mughals(at least in Bengal).The difference between Mughal and British is Mughal came here and accept india as their home. They lived here. But British never consider that way.
I wouldn't say they were actually a curse for Pakistan or Punjab in Particular. They actually came as a boon for Punjab...and Pakistan.
@@hasanmahabub3434 not every mughal king accept it as their home only few mughal did this.There are many mughals who looted temples converted religions hindu and sikhs to islam and other atrocities.
@@hasanmahabub3434 But with out any contribution to Science only patronizing Art and trying to change the culture here by imposing Islam.
The way sir tharoor puts his points
Its so clear that it expresses my thoughts when I don't even know how to put is
What a logical,well read historically shashi sir hats off to you respect and love from pakistan
As.an Indian and Keralite,I am proud of Shashi tharoor.
Krishna Rao I feel pity on you,you are such an ignorent and dumb person.Sashi tharoor never murdered his wife.It may be true that she took those drugs because of suspecting tharoor of having an affair.
Amit Mathew Only indian enough#no need to mention cast Creed
Funny how people take pride in other peoples accomplishments...
@Truthfears Guilty no they don't and pretty soon once we are developed your valleys won't even work with out Asia engineers
Truthfears Guilty Urdu is an Indian Language,which is nothing but the fusion of Standard Hindi with Persian and Arabic Languages. It has most of its words derived from Sanskrit. Both Hindi and Urdu have same grammar,the only major difference is that Hindi is written in Devanagari while Urdu is written in Arabic.
You mean to say Indian government communicate in Urdu instead of Hindi? seriously? when did that happened? i don't see any government document issued in Urdu anywhere.And how form of communication is falsely labeled as Hindi?
I love Shashi Tharoor
4rm Nagaland, India 💙❤
..""4rm""..?!! Given your choice of Vocabulary ..I'm quite surprised you came across Shashi Tharoor...im not a fan of nit picking comments and judging them but given the fact that we have a lot in common... I just couldn't help myself.
if Nagaland were to change for a better future.. Id say we start by stopping/or the very least, limiting oneself to using, (as students and intellectuals) ,these broken somewhat primitive style of texts formats ...this is not.. #HIP/#cool..
It makes us look like we're still stuck in 2009...and sadly most of us still are..
Have a nice day 👍
@@beefee9381 well language does not matter. What they are trying to convey does.
Learn that first. Short forms are annoying but so is nitpicking.
This man man is liked because of his reasonable arguments not because he is good in English. English is just for communication. It doesn't matter.
@@ineednothin6373 ...true, he does have strong arguments and people love him for that .. But his chioce of words,quotes and his delivery of these arguments are also factors as to why A lot of people love him.. If language didn't matter..

Mr. Tharoor is a real patriot. We need such rare LEADERS to rule in INDIA.
When ever he speaks.... N whatever he speaks.... Nailed it.... A legend in literature....
On the top of that, when conscience-stricken British officials were constantly sending memoranda to the prime minister personally because it was his decision saying people were dying literally on the streets and all Churchill could bring himself to do was write peevishly on the side of the file"why hasn't Ghandi died yet...........wow. Shashi. ........great answer to expose those so called intellectual despots..respect from pakistan
@roselyn rajoo Don't make the mistake to widen the accused to all white men. That would be the equivalent of putting Hindus and Muslims in the same bag.
i am ghanaian und i will never forget or forgive what england did to our country and is still doing. i feel so disgusted, when i see some of my people wave at the queens familiy and feel proud to be their subjects. who cares about what economically change they brought to the country. most of the places the european went and took over are in very bad conditions today. look at America, they mostly killed all of the native people.
White skin is no better than any other, cause u guys bleed red blood not white, eat, cry and has also not overcome death. All human lifes matters.
good work mr. Shashi Tharoor for speaking the truth for your people.
To nderstand how Africa continues to be raped, read "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" by Dr. Walter Rodney.
We built Africa, you lot destroyed it LMAO low IQ
@@googlebarbaralernerspectre2581 oh white Jesus, how silly of me. sure you guys thought us better. actually i meant, raping and killing kids, women and men, sometimes in the name of God and taking over their homeland and the goods is the right way to do it :D hope u are happy now :D
@@ShivaForJustice get your facts right. vascodagama discovered sea route to india nearly 100 years before the east india company was founded (1600).
and if you are mentioning about kingdom, all royal family EXISTED after british willing to join but hyderabad nizam and finally he does. ethical and other aspects are good and bad (not worse) in all over our kingdom, clash between chera, chola, pandiyas. its more bad in north during mughal empire. as the topic is about the british colonizers he may not need to mention that.
The great saivaite Hindu king Raja Raja Cholan built thanjavour temple at 1010AD. One of the great king in Tamizh shangam. He is a king he can have his statue inside the temple if he wants to but he didn't because temple is to worship the god. tamilnadu govt took the issue for politics and the central govt said what it needs to be done. what about statue of Periyar right in front of the ` Srirangam temple who insults hindus for life.
you port raided something like occupied. tamilnadu or madras presidency along with kerala wasn't separate before. War crimes? IPKF? first study what war crime means.
And then Rajive Gandhi assassination case (chennai bomb blast) is with LTTE organization from sri lanka. The judgement also clearly records that the accused santhan, perarivalan, murugan, nalini has a part in it and had no intention to kill any person other than Rajiv Gandhi, initially as death penalty and later as life imprisonment after delaying mercy petition few time.
+Blaq Rose Why is it S. Korea for instance, which had the same GDP post WW2 is now one of the richest nations in the world? And Japan left it a mess. The truth is for every 60 billion dollars in aid to the continent, 50 billion ends up in Swiss bank accounts.
The thumbnail header is inappropriate of this video. It should have been how "British argued while Shashi Tharoor clarified with the facts".
I hear it periodically to inspire me, not only how to talk, but read history and have command on things I believe in.
Shashi tharoor could make british forget english for once.
It's 11:42 PM right now,
Tears are flowing through my eyes watching this video.
It's just the pain inside my heart isn't having any hold by the senses.
I'm from a middle class family have seen family suffer and struggle.
Have seen poverty striken people suffer even more.
Nobody pointed this out, the world never wants to know.
But okay, we are strong. One day we will make our country great back again, as it was The Golden Bird of the entire earth, It'll gonna be it's worth this time.
Very talented South Indian speaker
DAMN. That play analogy in the starting. Simply brilliant!
He’s always mind boggling, fully equipped with adequate data, examples, explanations & so on virtues !!!! Carry on on !!!!
U know i have to check dictionary to translate ur English it's like u r the student of mr shashi😂😂
im a brit and quite ashamed tbh of how our true history has been so covered up
It's not your fault the government just wants to make themselves seem like they can't be wrong. They want you to think that they saved us and helped us. But in reality they were closer to Hitler.
It has been covered up because your people do not have courage to teach how horrific british empire was and how it was built by blowing them from cannon. search ajnala massacre, famines in india, skull of alum bheg, how brutally 1857 revolt was suppressed. black Dogs and indians are not allowed.
U should b ashamed
Thank you for your acknowledgement
@@shreedipdas1312 doesnt mean we should all be paying the price now though for our ancestors actions
Mr. Tharoor's Smile! ❤️
"We missed the bus, because you threw us under it's wheels ".✌✌✌👏👏👏👏👏
"Homosexuality was completely acceptable in India for 2000 years until the Brits came along" devastatingly right sir
Really? Do you know the source of this??
Homosexuality was never accepted in india. And it must not.
Transgender were accepted but not homosexuals.
Yeah, there are temples with statues of people having sex, and now Indians can't even speak about it
@@Desi.Superman well homosexuality should be accepted in India if it wasn't. Yes queer people exists even though it is a very small section of the larger society And it is in not promoting other people to be gay too. We're basically and simply saying that we exist and we celebrate the diversity of it. This occurs in many other similar species in nature too. We're not a thing to be tackled and handled and contained. I'm sure a heterosexual will never never feel the way about the same like a homosexual does even if the straight individual tried That's fact. So please stop justifying and going on the hate about queer people whether be it using cultures n religious establishments, hate is hate.
@@Desi.Superman Well you're not the law. I don't know why you think it shouldn't be accepted, but it is and should, and will be better in the future. It's literally about the right to love who you love.
Salute to Dr Shashi Tharoor. From Dhaka, Bangladesh. Whatever you told, it just undeniable truth. British not only destroyed our economy but also our culture, our solidarity.
Absolute rubbish. You're just looking to blame Britain for your country's many problems. Grow up and start accepting responsibility.
@@ashokbabu2968 I don't dispute that Britain did a lot of bad things in times gone by (not only to India). Nevertheless, India's poverty and backwardness is due to the relative lack of intelligence of its people, rather than anything Britain once did.
@@Straight_Talk poverty and lack of intelligence! Who said we r poor. We fought back all the way to the present situation we r in from the position u guys left us in. Nd talking about intelligence js see the worlds leading companies ceo s . Most of them are indians. Know ur facts bro before calling us poor
@@Straight_Talk thats because majority of population in india are from rural areas. Still we managed to increase our literacy rate to 70% from 17% where u guys left us. The handful companies which u mentioned for example Google which u asked me to check , its ceo is an indian. The zero which u r using for everything was invented by an indian mathematician. We r the pioneers of plastic surgery and cataract surgery. We r the most ancient civilization in the entire world. Even the shampoo which u use in ur day to day life, ur shirt buttons, ur flush toilets all were invented by indians. U talk about mathematicians and scientists! Funny. We r the first in the world to do mars mission at a low cost . U think ur stupid English is the centre of everything and if someone doesn't know English u call them illiterates. U guys dnt realise its js a way of communication. We have 22 major languages with 100s of dialects. I can speak 4 of them including ur stupid English. More than u. Now who is illiterate here in terms of language. Nd finally u show BBC as a reference which is ur country s channel which is more focused on other countries but least bothered about showing ur own country s horrific history. Pity
Huh thats because we r proud of our fighting spirit with which we came all the way till this day from 1947. We never relied on anyone . We never colonised on any country. We never craved for power. We r proud to be called a developing nation with our own efforts rather than being called a developed nation by colonising and looting others. Nd I have mentioned Google ceo because its js a small reference for u know that the basic thing which u use in ur day to day life is controlled by one of us.
Thank god the video has subtitles
Very proud of you sir!!
I want this guy to represent us everywhere
1:03 that guy has no shame. How could he say those things. Looking at him he has Indian background for sure.
I'm from Bengal, Dhaka and the guy says the truth. "Moslin" workers and associates with them were wiped off from their heritage. Their hands were cut off,they died because they couldn't do works for that. Can u imagine how horrible the situation was. After that till now there's no one who could make the legendary "Moslin" clothes.
Also the Famine of Bengal was one of the destructive and dark events took place here in Bengal and the British are to blame. The mess they have made in The Indian subcontinent can't be forgotten and can't be forgiven. Now they talk big.They preach so called freedom, justice but in fact they are the ones who violated and still violating human rights all around the world. Their media judges others culture, religion and set a value based on their own point of view. Their media decides who is right and who is wrong based on their own political view and they tag people as bad guys if something goes against their policy. Through out all around the world, they made so much mess,they looted , killed millions of people and made destructions. In modern days also. The way England and their allies destabilised and destroyed Middle Eastern countries, no wonder they are so rich. And they call themselves gentle men wearing suits and ties.Till now they and America has hidden agendas to destroy other nations to gain more power.Now a days to destroy other nations they found some effective solutions. Those are, they imprints their own culture in other countries(by their media or their movies /TV series), they destroy religion and religious points of views, and eventually that effects the whole society, people specially young generation then try to follow their culture and agendas without even realising themselves. They create and fund certain groups of people who will work for them from elite societies in those countries. So called Human rights activists, media and political personals, using women in many ways they are just working on their own agendas to destroy those societies. They themselves created terrorist organisations in other countries, funding and selling weapons to them and their media played a crucial role to accuse other Religions. Still now they are doing that and people are eating their lies everyday. Nothing has changed. They are still doing the same things even dangerous things which they did in past.
Our ancestors were naive that they trusted those Colonial powers who first came in the Indian subcontinent to do Business. And we all know how they took power here in Indian subcontinent. Remember when the west is praising you for something then u have to quickly realise that something is going horribly wrong against your own culture, religious values and your own country's political values.
Oh god he shit on his pants and kept seated for a half an hour after Shashis answering ...
ur absolutely right bro.
It's all part of Colonization... all countries experienced it from their European powers at the time... it's not only India.... the Portuguese, Spanish, French and Dutch colonists did the same.......we learn and move on..... what's the big deal..... ⁉️⁉️🙏🙏
When the British came to India to trade it was to the benefit of both parties. "The East India Company didn't cause a decline in the economy of India, the reverse is true. . .[ and it ] could never have survived without the collaboration and partnership of thousands of Indian merchants, agents, artisans, bankers, and transporters. The Company was the biggest business firm in the world of its time, and therefore, made many Indians fabulously rich. Some of the most famous entrepreneurs and business families of nineteenth-century India made their money trading with the Company or with European merchants. Palatial homes in the north of Calcutta attest to that wealth. These profits were much larger in scale than the profits the Company sent back to England". Quotation from: The East India Company. The World’s Most Powerful Corporation. Tirthankar Roy, 2012 Penguin Books. Tirthankar Roy, Professor of Economic History, born and educated in India
"Wealthy and influential Indians who supported the [East India] Company pooled money to set up colleges that taught students following western curricula. Without the Company rule, Bombay’s Elphinstone College and Calcutta’s Presidency College, two of India’s best institutions, would not exist". The University of Calcutta, the University of Madras, the University of Mumbai were all established in 1857. "By the time of independence in 1947, the port cities of India and Pakistan were home to some of the best schools, colleges, hospitals, universities, banks, insurance companies, and learned societies available outside the western world". Quotations from Tirthankar Roy, Professor of Economic History, born and educated in India.
