Thinking activity according to this link Click Here

Shashi Tharoor is an Indian politician, writer and a former career international diplomat.


His speech video:-

Speech at Oxford Union:
Looking Back at the British Raj in India: The University of Edinburgh
Exclusive Interview By Karan Thapar On His Book 'An Era Of Darkness'


He debates as post colonial critic and he is give evidence of British ruler what they  done unfair with India. And he also mentioned which type British exploited Indian's people. Like
How Britisher destroyed Indian's handwork business which is well known before their ruling and Industrial revolution through Indian people became Out of work. (unemployment).

Before British ruler India belong to wealthy country but during their ruling India became poor and poor. Because they carry high level tax from middle class people that why rich became more rich and poor became more poor that kind economic conditions it became completely changed. Shashi Tharoor that kind of argument give according to GDP record so he is not said without evidence. So Britisher also accept they done unfair with India.

Shashi Tharoor also mentioned Robert Clave name who was Indian railway pioneer and Shashi Tharoor use for them Hindi word 'Loot by Britisher” because they started train for their transportation not for India people transportation. Even they made road and railway Indian people's tax. Although they didn’t allow India people for transportation. Through the transportation they  transported many things like tea to Jewellery.
So they made railway and road for their profit not for us.

Shashi Tharoor also claim that Britisher ruler treat Indian people as slaves he also gave example during world war second four million people was died that for responcible Britisher. British ruled on other countries Africa and Carebain that people psychological demage has done by them. Because there they sold people. So how they done unfair with them.

Britishers nature like violence and racism that is reality of that colonial and Shashi Tharoor laugh on this fact – “Sun never set on British Empire.” So he said God also could trust on them if they done wrong in the darkness.

Shashi Tharoor blamed on British, they were responsible for India's participation because after Bangladesh participation they tried to made binary between Hindu and Muslim faith and they became success on their mission two pieces of India.

Other video Shashi Tharoor also mentioned how Britisher change Indian culture and education. They set English language is windows language and they changed syllabus like now we are studying Shakespeare in the English literature not studying Kalidasa. That type of colonaied Indian education. And now we are studying English language is communication language to other countries.

In the one of speech he say according to GDP British ruler created poor condition of India. Because before their ruling India was number one in richest country. After their ruling India facing poverty.

This all point of view Shashi Tharoor also wrote in his book “The Era of Darkness- the British Empire of India”.

Movie - The Black Prince


                 The Black Prince is a 2017 international historical drama film directed by Kavi Raz and featuring the acting debut of Satinder Sartaaj. It tells the story of Duleep Singh, the last Maharajah of the Sikh Empire and the Punjab area, and his relationship with Queen Victoria. In the movie how Panjab's king as treat like servant. Duleep Singh has no his individual thought and living life freely because he always control by majesty Victoria. Duleepsingh deeply colonied mentally and physically by Britisher because once day he killed two three enemy thent he became injured so he is physically not strong against fight with enemy.



              When start movie at that time I thought that how they colonied Duleepsingh. He almost forgot he is Indian then his mother try to show reality of that Britisher and convince fight against them. In the whole movie I mentioned one thing queen Victoria always called Black Prince to Duleepsingh , its through present their strong beliefs like Racism on skin colour of white and black. And one thing also described in the movie how Indian people also done fraud with own country people like in the movie Punjab victory of Britisher only can happen fraud with their own people. And also other countries people help for freedom like Turkey, Russia, Irish but Duleepsingh condition like
“ąŖąŖ• ąŖøાંąŖ˜ોąŖØે ąŖ¤ેąŖ° ąŖŸૂąŖŸે”
             His own people fraud with him. When he ready for going Punjab at that time he faced trouble and his condition like – “ąŖØ ąŖ˜ąŖ°ąŖØા ąŖØ ąŖ˜ાąŖŸąŖØા”
Because he could not able to free India from British ruler. That kind of control of British Empire on us so anyone tried to rebellious against them then they tried to make people as subaltern people who have no voice against to them.

Victoria & Abdul



Victoria & Abdul is a 2017 British biographical drama film directed by Stephen Frears and written by Lee Hall. The film is based on the book of same name by Shrabani Basu, about the real-life relationship between Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and her Indian Muslim servant Abdul Karim. It stars Judi Dench, Ali Fazal, Michael Gambon, Eddie Izzard, Tim Pigott-Smith and Adeel Akhtar.
In this movie also represent of their greed, lust,
Sloth, envy, wrath. In the movie Abdul is servant of Victoria queen and how Victoria queen use Abdul as like weapon for create their empire in India. Here use Mango is symbol , according to Indian Mango is king of fruits so director used Mango as symbol of usage empire of the India. At the one scene of movie servant given Mango at that time queen said "This Mango is Off". It symbolic means that how they avoid mango after it like lose so may be it is symbol of India people like before British ruler India was richest country after their ruling India became poor country so it can compare with "Off Mango", may be they leaved India because of India's poor condition. So as post colonial critic view we can say which type they destroyed our (India) country position as richest to convert in lowest.
