Empireworld: How British Imperialism Has Shaped the Globe | Sathnam Sanghera with Shrabani Basu

Sathnam Sanghera's recent book, Empireworld: How British Imperialism Has Shaped the Globe, examines Britain's idea of its own imperial history as opposed to the world's experience of it. Weaving together wit, political insight and personal honesty, Sanghera explores the international legacies of the British empire - from the creation of tea plantations across the globe, and the connotations of royal tours. Traversing across the globe, Sanghera in conversation with writer Shrabani Basu, evaluates how deeply rooted imperialism is in today's world.

Excellent session. The answer in my opinion to the question that why the formerly colonised people flocked to the country , is that the ruling colonial authorities left the colonies in such disarray , corruption and poverty, that the indigenous people had little choice then to economically migrate and strive for a better life. They just took a part of what was taken from them.

India built a new parliament building because delimitation of parliamentary constituencies is a constitutional requirement. It will lead to increase in the number of MPs. We need more room to seat them all. It is nothing to do with decolonisation. Britain should follow suit and replace their leaky parliament building. We in India will not accuse you of doing something underhand.
