The motion: This house believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. It has been established for 189 years, aiming to promote debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus
Britishers gave us english...
Shashi Tharoor gave it back to Britishers...
Oh awesome line bro.✌️✌️
infact teaching them with his handful of books
@John Buffalo I am 97 Feeling proud about genocide? ...Hope you find your peace. 🙏
@John Buffalo I am 97 Morality and culture? That's the last thing Britain had bruv
@John Buffalo I am 97 lol, Brits were the most uncleanly people. Try to learn a bit of history.
Title should be "Britishers clapping on their own insult" 😂
😁😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
@Indian Weeb Desu ikr😂
They are acknowledging their flaws, everyone has flaws, acknowledging them is rare...
My great grandfather was hanged by the British because he dared to climb a British office in Mysore province currently known as Karnataka and a proud part of India and tore down the British flag 😞. Am proud to be part of this great family .
Feel for him
What a legend!
I have residences and citizenship in three countries myself. But I would rather burn everything I own rather than pay taxes as a punishment for something I did not do. Particularly to a country that has utterly failed to maintain rule of law and deal with world leading corruption and the abuse of women and children. That the country of world wide online fraud and corruption lectures anyone is as ridiculous as this comendian come grifter. India still operates a medievel caste system and the speaker and/or his ilk represent under 1% that would be the beneficiaries of any aid due to endemic corruption which by the way no else, including the British caused. No country should pay reperations or all must. Those that are chasing it will almost always be those in the top teir that will directly benefit. This ha proven true in India in particular over a very long period.
@virgilexclusive1713 seriously sir tea and sugar support for relief in india....IS THIS A JOKE???
AND DURING COLONISATION WHAT YOU CAN BELIEF IS PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTARY FROM INDIA SIDE BECAUSE HERE INDIA IS SUPPRESSED....
MUGHALS AND OTHER ISLAMIC INVADERS ACTUALLY POLLUTED OUR CULTURE... BECAUSE WE AS INDIANS HAVE NO SEX THIRST... THUS WOMEN WERE GIVEN MORE FREEDOM.....
INDIAN PEOPLE HARDLY VOLUNTEERED FOR ARMY EVEN IF THEY DID THAT WAS BECAUSE OF POOR ECONOMY... THEY JUST NEEDED MONEY...
NOT ONLY INDIA BRITISHERS MADE CHINESE PEOPLE OPIUM ADDICT.. THEY ALSO DESTROYED THEIR CULTURE...
I THINK YOU HAVE LITTLE OR NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HISTORY...
EVEN NOW YOU PEOPLE HAVE COLONIAL MINDSET.... AS CLEARY SEEN AT WORLD LEVEL....
I AM SORRY FOR MY WRONG ENGLISH ACTUALLY ITS MY THIRD LANGUAGE..
Your great grandfather was a certified chad. Everyone dies, but he died like a legend!
When Shashi makes mistakes, dictionary gets corrected 😀

Read this to know about our past and achievements.
Ancient India's Achievments:
1. Brits say they gave us education. But, we already had ancient universities like nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago.
2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like infinite series for pi, power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. These series were made by Madhava, who was a medieval indian mathematician and astronomer.
2. Aryabhatta invented sine function.
3. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine.
4. Sushruta performed complex surgeries like brain, cataract, rhinoplasty, limb, and much more over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we made many contributions to it.
5. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE.
6. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals.
7. Decimal System.
8. Binary number system by pingala.
9. Ayurveda.
10. Bhaskara I stated that at the highest point, the rate of change is zero.
11. Varahamihira predicted water on Mars thousands of years ago.
12. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula.
13. Solutions to quadratics.
Modern India's Achievements:
1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also artificially synthesized coenzyme A and played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. I reccomend you watch and learn more about him. He shaped modern genetics.
2. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon.
3. Mars Mission.
4. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1)
5. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany.
6. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him.
7. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose.
8. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De.
9. USB by Ajay Bhatt.
10. Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham.
11. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson.
12. Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him.
13. G.N. Ramachandran discovered the triple helical structure of collagen protein and deepened our understanding of sickle cell anemia.
14. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins.
15. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes, which gives us a deeper understanding of how ribosomes manufacture proteins.
16. First DNA based Covid Vaccine.
17. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar.
18. Crescograph.
19. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him).
20. Microwave Optics.
There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy).
These brits committed horrific atrocities against us and brought artificial famines, which killed 100s of millions of Indians. They also r*ped teenage indian girls and sold them to s*x slavery. They did the same with young women. This caused a spread of nasty stds. They also shot indian children with rifles and flogged them with their whiplash tool or whatever it is. Ps, we had advanced ship building industries and textile industries. They destroyed it. Not only that, Westerners teach you about these inventions, but never tell indian origins. Not only that, these people call us primitive, yet look at our ancient architecture.Many of our inventions were wrongfully attributed to Westerners. Also, I do not know why Greece is considered Western when their culture is nothing close to Western. They did not have a civilization of their own, so they had to appropriate Greek and Roman identity. If Greece and Rome did not exist, they would start calling Egypt, Babylon, and Sumeria as Western 😂😂. Well karma is a b**ch, anglos and other Western countries are on a decline, and I bet they will not even exist in the coming years because of immigration and because of their looted money they can last only so long, I will enjoy their demise.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
With global industrialization they would've failed with or without Britain's help. Considering India didn't have the skills or national unity to organize it's own government there would be nothing without it. They've still not been able to end the caste system. Ask Pakistan, Bangledesh and the disputed regions about the Indian way. He would be nowhere without his position in GB.
The only reason why the Pyramids still exist in Egypt is because they were too heavy for the British folks to steal and put in the British museum.
No doubt 👌
🤣🤣 bitter truth
but they did run away with Egypt's mummies
@@mtlicq lol
@S G wah ! You want my mummy?
In 1997 i nearly got expelled from college du leman,geneva ,switzerland(a highly reputable boarding school in the world),for protesting a british teacher's comments on how the British went to india to teach the indians how to live properly. i am an Iranian citizen.
Thanks for standing up ...how r things in Iran these days...!!!

Tysm bro , love from India
At one moment, I had a tear in my eye.. When Dr Tharoor said, A simple "sorry" would go a long way.. I knew what he meant.. What it would mean to Indians..
#ProudIndian
@@vatsal7640 but perhaps have more knowledge and information about history than many historians. I will suggest you to read his book AN ERA OF DARKNESS where you will find many more facts and he mentioned some of them here too. Hope you'll consider to read it.
@@vatsal7640 I will read it. Thankyou for your suggestions bhai. But In my opinion it is also important for us to listen both side's argument. And I have read various articles and books related to crown's Raj in India including Tharoor's an era of DARKNESS and trust me dear I have verified the facts too. Rest depends on you... Happy Makar Sankranti!

India and Pakistan and Bangladesh should reuinite back into the form it was before the British came
He nailed it.....very knowledgeable and one of the best speaker I have seen until now.
🙏👌
I thought the same until i saw the mirror
He's also lying through quote mining and leaving out unsupportive facts.
How could he have nailed something when his entire speech was full of fiction. The claim Britain somehow stole 45 Trillion is absurd since that amount never even existed in Indias history due to its decline as a share of world GDP which began 1,500 years before Britain even arrived. i.imgur.com/e5nZNtv.png
@@twocentcoop9683 Even If We think they didn't stole 45 trillion, Let's Think they stole 4.5 Trillion it's still fuckin hugeeee, It's literally Japan's GDP...

He is the rockstar of my state, Kerala in India.We are big-time proud of him !!.
He went there as an Indian, Bhartiye not as a Keralite. You, Keralite, will never get it. Always try to divide India as Kerala is kind of separate State or a country because foreigners (The british in the west & Especially a continuing British empire in US) put you on cloud nine like you're superior than rest of the India. They saw that crack way back in 174 year ago & separated the great Bharat & because of you people, they are doing it again because Keralites are diverted & blinded by their fake appreciation but the fact is Bharat is & always has been the land of Hindus, Sanatani which governed the nation of different religions & soon, it will entirely become one nation again with one mind & heart that sync with one ideology of togetherness. So, my Keralite friend, if you are distracted or your friends are, it's still time to get your colonial-driven mindset back to patriotic ideology before you will be left behind to even be called as a citizen of this century old great land, i.e, BHARAT 🇮🇳
He is still Keralite and there's nothing you can do about it 😂cry more @@shivamgautam949

I am from the UK and I am sorry for what we have done to India. We should really do something for India. love India from UK..!!
I respect your thoughts.
Catherine Dixon No we don't need your help.Your ancestors have already done so much damage to this country and most importantly our cultural heritage. Your Christian missionaries already funding their planted NGOs to convert people here. So help your country instead.
gilroy pereira I know what she meant. Any missionaries who convert people in the name of help is not good.
Dear u deserve respect we left our homes back there on Pakistan to stay in India coz of the partion was done by British but trust me I respect you as you are the only one who has the gut to say sorry for all the wrong done by your peoples..
No Catherine, White people can never be trusted, your UK is running Because of Indian Businesses in the UK, because Indians contribute a lot i repeat A LOT to UK's economy, if we pull out Indians from UK, Britain will be turned into a ghetto, India's pocket change is more than enough to buy out Whole of UK...
"No wonder the sun never set on the British empire because even God couldn't trust the English in the dark"... LOL.. That's such a classic !! :D
miuzicspel it would take me days to reply to every single one of your absurd arguments but there's two that I would like to mention specifically - Indias share of GDP is lesser now than in 1947 is because there are many, many more countries now owing to decolonization, disintegration of USSR or simply breaking up and formation of new states. Second - Are you comparing the greatest colonial empire to some insignificant event that happened thousands of years ago which has never been mentioned and hasn't caused Britain any permanent harm in any way whatsoever. Stop denying it. Colonialism was probably the greatest effort man has ever made to carry out the cruelest of crimes under the guise of 'development' and finally the oppressed are asking for nothing more than an apology, getting cowardly whispers of nonsensical, misinformed statistics back. this shows nothing more than Britain's famous historic lack of empathy and complete disregard to anyone's interests other than itself. A sorry would do.
Comical but God doesn't get a vote and those that kill in His name ought never to be trusted..
miuzicspel stop hiding behind stats you Satan worshipper!
I hold no brief for the British Empire or for any empire but I will merely observe that for a huge and thriving sophisticated, knowledgeable, healthy, scientific and ancient people like the Indians it is surprising that a little country like England could have subdued it and added it as a colony and made that plump little female on the throne the Empress of India. Were you guys asleep or what? Or is this one big fairy story?
Now you cannot blind us with all the persiflage and insults to and about the British to divert us away from that important question which needs answering.
While you are about it in which great Indian University did they measure in the year 1600 the GDP of both India and the world. I am interested to discover that.
As a non-Indian I mourn the murder of one of the greatest your country has produced and regret many other things the disgraceful caste system and the treatment of the dalits (the untouchables), the inability to get along with your minorities such as the Muslims and the destruction and death which followed the Brits leaving India and wholesale suicides of so many Indian farmers. Those British never introduced the disgusting habit of burning corpses by the Ganges and tossing the remains in the already polluted River. I've seen the pictures Yeach!
I suggest that you use your time and energy fixing these and other problems in preference to insulting those Brits living today whose ancestors likely shed blood in expanding the empire in India and other places. Some of today's Brits run thriving businesses that they would NOT have been able to if they had not left India for Britain.
When you have reached the standards of other places which were once part of their empire such as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc I would like to hear more of your complaints.
India was not a single nation when the British first came.The British came here for business purposes which was by then sponsored by the then invaders of India,the Mughals.To be honest,there was no such thing as India back then because only the races of Dravidians and Aryans who came on the banks of the Indus were the earliest Indians.At that particular time,there was continuous war between the Mughals and other smaller territories in the region which we today know as "India".The East India Company took advantage of this and the carelessness of Mughals strenghthened their position even more.Furthermore,the defeat of French and Portuguese by the Britishers led to even more control over the region.There was no such thing as India till the beginning of 20th century,when people began searching for a symbol of unity symbolising the entire region as 'Bharat Mata' or Mother India.Even after the independence,Sardar Vallabhai Patel went to every kingdom in the Indian subcontinent and asked for the formation of a new nation.So your whole notion of a huge country is completely wrong.India is known for its unity in diversity because more than 90% of the entire country has not descended from Indian subcontinent itself

On the other hand, research suggests that from about 1870 to 1930 Britain took about 1% of India's wealth per year. This was much less than the French, Dutch and Germans took from their lands. The British invested about £400 million in the same period. They brought in an irrigation programme, which increased the amount of land available for farming by 8 times. They developed a coal industry, which had not existed before. Public health and life expectancy increased under British rule, mainly due to improved water supplies and the introduction of quinine treatment against malaria.
Big landowners, Indian princes, the Indian middle classes all gained in terms of job opportunities, business opportunities and careers in areas like the law. Ordinary Indians gained little, but the argument still continues about whether British rule made much difference to their lives. Many historians think that the majority of Indians would have remained poor even if they had been ruled by Indians.
likesmilitaryhistory Alan Moore The literacy rate when british left was 16%, and about 83% of indians lived under terrific powerty during british rule
The invaders were the invaders who took the motherland of the indigenous people for the sake of their good. But why we talk so much about British is because they have not just colonized India but a major part of the world land. Europeans in the game of colonization went long way and vanished the culture and economy and that is what we call "imperialism".
No other invader in india occupied the greater land as compared to bristish in india.
Yes the previous Arab rulers afghan ruler and say mongol invaders took the wealth to their country and we still call them invaders.
Muslim rulers like Alauddin Khilji, SherShah Suri, Akhbar etc ruled with the great economic measures and introduced number of reform in the economic and cultural aspect which has been adopted in the modern administration. And the point is none of these rulers can be called as invaders because if we call them the invader we must call any king of that era "the invader". None took the wealth for the sake of their own motherland because they ruled their territory as their motherland.
Whereas British even at the time of industrial revolution took raw material from their colonies. Ask America the question that what was the point of 13 colonies at the Atlantic coast? was it really to migrate because of the shortage of land? British even restricted their own colonies to do business and imposed heavy duties. Thus they rebel and asked for the total independence.
So its the question of selfish administration that has been imposed forcefully on us. And we still Mr Ripon "Ripon the good" and praise Mr William Bentinck for the efforts he made in abolishing the practices of sati,child marriage etc

This speech is interesting but the irony is there was no India before British came. It was all petty kingdoms, India is size of Europe. To create a country by force joining all these petty kingdoms and to rule it for 200 years it is not a small task. I doubt if British had not come we could have created a country with all our caste, languages, sects, religions, geography into one nation. When just British left itself we fragmented into two nations Pakistan and India Hindu religion reformed and Indian intellectuals like Nehru, Gandhi, Tilak, Man Mohan Roy, Ambedkar, Maulana Azad were all product of British education and British rule.

This speech is the perfect blend of history, roasting, and facts. My respect to Shashi Tharoor for this informative, yet comedic speech.
Read this to know about our past and achievements.
Ancient India's Achievments:
1. Brits say they gave us education. But, we already had ancient universities like nalanda, takshashila, vikramshila, and much more over thousands of years ago.
2.Indians had concepts of calculus before west like infinite series for pi, power series for sine and cosine, inverse tangent series, and much more. These series were made by Madhava, who was a medieval indian mathematician and astronomer.
2. Aryabhatta invented sine function.
3. Bhaskara II gave modern definitions of sine and cosine.
4. Sushruta performed complex surgeries like brain, cataract, rhinoplasty, limb, and much more over 2000 years ago. Surgery was invented in Egypt first, but we made many contributions to it.
5. Maharishi Kanad, a philosopher, proposed the idea of atoms in 600 BCE.
6. Brahmagupta invented the formula to determine the area of cyclic quadrilaterals.
7. Decimal System.
8. Binary number system by pingala.
9. Ayurveda.
10. Bhaskara I stated that at the highest point, the rate of change is zero.
11. Varahamihira predicted water on Mars thousands of years ago.
12. Sridharacharya invented the modern-day quadratic formula.
13. Solutions to quadratics.
Modern India's Achievements:
1. Har Gobind Khorana synthesized the first artificial gene and demonstrated the role of nucleotides in protein synthesis. He also artificially synthesized coenzyme A and played a massive role in cracking the genetic code. I reccomend you watch and learn more about him. He shaped modern genetics.
2. Chandryaan 3 landing on the south pole of moon.
3. Mars Mission.
4. Sun Mission (Aditya - L1)
5. Fiber optics by Narinder Singh Kapany.
6. Jagdish Chandra Bose was one of the pioneers in wireless communication before Marconi and transmitted signals before him.
7. Discovery of millimeter waves by Jagdish Chandra Bose.
8. Discovery of cholera toxin by Dr. Sambhu Nath De.
9. USB by Ajay Bhatt.
10. Pentium Chips by Vinod Dham.
11. S.N. Bose made contributions to quantum mechanics like Bose-Einstein condensate and laid the foundations for Higgs Boson.
12. Quantum Statistics by S.N. Bose. Also, Boson particles are named after him.
13. G.N. Ramachandran discovered the triple helical structure of collagen protein and deepened our understanding of sickle cell anemia.
14. Ramachandran plot, which is a tool used to visualize which angles can amino acids take in proteins.
15. Venki Ramakrishnan discovered the high resolution atomic structure of ribosomes, which gives us a deeper understanding of how ribosomes manufacture proteins.
16. First DNA based Covid Vaccine.
17. Cervical Cerclage was first described by Sirodkhar.
18. Crescograph.
19. George Sudarshan was one of the pioneers in quantum optics. (Watch and learn more about him).
20. Microwave Optics.
There are many more indian greats you should learn about. Examples: Srinivasa Ramanujan, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, C.V. Raman and Raj Reddy (one of the pioneers in AI along with McCarthy).
These brits committed horrific atrocities against us and brought artificial famines, which killed 100s of millions of Indians. They also r*ped teenage indian girls and sold them to s*x slavery. They did the same with young women. This caused a spread of nasty stds. They also shot indian children with rifles and flogged them with their whiplash tool or whatever it is. Ps, we had advanced ship building industries and textile industries. They destroyed it. Not only that, Westerners teach you about these inventions, but never tell indian origins. Not only that, these people call us primitive, yet look at our ancient architecture.Many of our inventions were wrongfully attributed to Westerners. Also, I do not know why Greece is considered Western when their culture is nothing close to Western. They did not have a civilization of their own, so they had to appropriate Greek and Roman identity. If Greece and Rome did not exist, they would start calling Egypt, Babylon, and Sumeria as Western 😂😂. Well karma is a b**ch, anglos and other Western countries are on a decline, and I bet they will not even exist in the coming years because of immigration and because of their looted money they can last only so long, I will enjoy their demise.

For those, whose arguments are, the British gave Indians this and that, like railways... firstly as Shashi mentioned, they didn't create those for us, Indians, it was simply for the benefit of themselves, paid by Indian tax payers... yes, the byproduct might have been useful to Indians to some extent although the extent of which was highly limited. But, the most important point is, none of those needed colonization. There are many countries who did all of those, even though they were never colonized. We probably could have done much better much faster, if not being plunged into poverty and one of the worst performing ecomonies after 200 years of colonial torture. So, stop it with the justification. It's really sad to see former oppressors trying to downplay the gruesome reality that Indians were put through. Yeah, I get that it's not the current generation's fault, for like, how cruel or barbaric Churchill was, but the burden would be a bit lighter, if only the present Britain can accept the wrongs of their past.

"We were denied democracy so we had to snatch it, seize it from you."
The true sentiment of every nation that suffered the the oppression of colonialism.
+persimmon93 Really? So, where was the democracy in India BEFORE Britain introduced the idea into India. Please show all the democracy in India PRE British contact. Or, stfu!
+Pat Emilio (Illogic Buster) It means that there was no democracy brought by the British into India, not that the British took away a pre-existing form of democracy in India. You've interpreted the statement wrongly.
Pat Emilio If you honestly think that Great Britain at the height of its empire recognized equality between British and colonials, then you really need to research what colonialism is with a realistic mindset. Think about it. Do you really think Great Britain had "Indian" representatives in Parliament protesting the invasion of their country? Do you really think British citizens who committed crimes in India were treated equally compared to if an "Indian" committed the same crime? Besides. before we even begin to ask the question if European colonialism was good for Asians because it "brought democracy" we have to ask the question what exactly is democracy, because there are many people who would argue Great Britain itself wasn't a democracy. Some say Great Britain was a constitutional monarchy, others say an oligarchic-plutocracy. So to say that Great Britain "introduced" democracy to India or any of its colonies is as true as saying Great Britain allowed their American colonials to be independent without bloodshed. India fought for their independence via non-violence resulting in thousands of unwarranted deaths on the side of the "Indians" which resulted in Great Britain being pressured to allow India to become independent. After which, Indian princes/leaders held a meeting and eventually agreed to set up a democratic system to govern their sub-continent.
I hope this has been a good lesson for you. Just remember, colonialism = bad. Glorious but still bad.
Pat Emilio I was proving a point that colonialism = bad because of the inequality that comes naturally in the relationship between the conquerors and the conquered. Even if you attempt to justify it saying "they were a savage land before "Britain" introduced democracy etc." (Which is wrong anyway).
+Pat Emilio (Illogic Buster) Britain was not a democratic country until well after its colonisation of India was complete. So it is impossible for you to say that, without Britain, India would not have made its own progress towards democracy (just as Britian had over the course of the nineteenth century), because quite simply Britain removed India's political freedom to do so by maintaining a despotic imperial administration of India. You should also take account of Japan, which was one of the few other Asian countries not to come under Western imperial control during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but still developed its own democratic institutions during the nineteenth and early twentieth century without the interference of western colonialism.
In the case of Britain's colonial relationship with India, it is incontrovertible that Britain suppressed calls by Indian's for the establishment of their own democratic institutions. Even after the close of the First World War, when 1.2 million Indian servicemen had fought for Britain and its Empire (a higher figure than the combined numbers of servicemen from South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and Canada), Britain still denied India any sort of meaningful democratic rights which gave Indians' sovereignty over how their own country was administered. In doing so, Britain denied India the democratic privileges that many Indians had hoped that their country's sacrifice would have earned.
The reality is Britain only moved towards establishing meaningful democratic institutions in India, once the British realised during the Second World War that Indian independence was inevitable and that it would be in the West's interests to establish a democratic capitalist Asian power rather than one which underwent a Communist revolution.
As you might have guessed by now, your statement was ill-informed and incorrect when you praised Britain for moving India along a path towards democracy. There is no proof that India would not have done so itself had it had the political freedom to do so; and when Britain did finally encourage Indian self-representation it was only answering long-standing Indian calls for democracy in an attempt to preserve its own interests during the final death throws of the British Empire.
Proud of you sashi tharoor. what a historic speech and this should be frame as syllabus in all the schools in UK then children get an opportunity to study history.
Absolutely. Alongside the Koh-I-Noor diamond, Maharaja Ranjit Singh also gifted a large number of other precious stones to Lord Hardinge at the Treaty of Lahore including several sizable emeralds. At that time these items were seen as tokens of appreciation for British forces rather than having any real commercial value; however their true worth was inestimable due not only to their rarity but also because diamonds (as well as rubies and other gems) increased hugely in price after Marilyn Monroe's iconic performance "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" showcased them prominently on black and white film screens across the world. This increased popularity has remained until today meaning that diamonds are now far more valuable than many other gemstones - something which is reflected in their current market prices all around the globe.

Of course you have our genes. After all Pakistan was a part of India during the British rule. They divided us. Mohammed Ali Jinah was equally responsible for the partition. He thought he was doing it for a noble cause, the security of muslims. What he didn't know was that his political backers and supporters were the Jamindars, Jagirdars and Muslim businessmen who thought their business interests would be suppressed under Hindu majority of India. So they created a new country to further their corporate ambitions. Jinah was deceived by those corporate vultures..

Was Acting Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer called to account for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. I would like to read the full story of this terrible event. It is something the world should hear about.
No - he was dying at the time and was sick when he was recalled to the UK and died soon after (about 4-5 years of memory serves). To the eternal shame of Britain a forbear of today’s Daily Mail. Allied him a hero and raised a large subscription for him. He died a rich man. He left the army in professional disgrace but little more.
400 people dead
But more died in 1984 and 2002
And 21k have already died of the Wuhan virus
Edwin Samuel Montagu, the Secretary of State for India, who called it "a grave error in judgement". In a debate in the House of Commons, he asked, "Are you going to keep your hold on India by terrorism, racial humiliation, subordination and frightfulness, or are you going to rest it upon the goodwill and the growing goodwill of the people of your Indian Empire?"
Winston Churchill, at the time Britain's Secretary of State for War, who called the massacre "an episode without precedent or parallel in the modern history of the British Empire… an extraordinary event, a monstrous event, an event which stands in singular and sinister isolation... the crowd was neither armed nor attacking" during a debate in the House of Commons. In a letter to the leader of the Liberals and former Secretary of State for India, the Marquess of Crewe, he wrote, "My own opinion is that the offence amounted to murder, or alternatively manslaughter."
Former Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party H. H. Asquith, who observed: "There has never been such an incident in the whole annals of Anglo-Indian history, nor, I believe, in the history of our empire since its very inception down to present day. It is one of the worst outrages in the whole of our history."
B. G. Horniman, who observed: "No event within living memory, probably, has made so deep and painful impression on the mind of the public in this country [England] as what came to be known as the Amritsar massacre."
The era of O'Dwyer and Dyer has been deemed "an era of misdeeds of British administration in India".
During the Dyer debates in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there was both praise and condemnation of Dyer. In 1920, the British Labour Party Conference at Scarborough unanimously passed a resolution denouncing the Amritsar massacre as a "cruel and barbarous action" of British officers in Punjab, and called for their trial, the recall of Sir Michael O'Dwyer and the Viceroy, Lord Chelmsford, and the repealing of repressive legislation.[60]
Settlement in Britain
Churchill, the then Secretary of State for War, wanted Dyer to be disciplined, but the Army Council superseded by him decided to allow Dyer to resign with no plan for further punishment. Following Churchill's speech defending the council's decision and a debate in Parliament, on 8 July 1920 MPs voted for the government by a majority of 247 to 37; a motion calling for approval of Dyer's actions was defeated by a majority of 230 to 129.
In 1940 O'Dwyer was assassinated in London.
Dyer suffered a series of strokes during the next and last EIGHT years of his life following the massacre and he became increasingly isolated due to the paralysis and speechlessness
inflicted by his strokes. He died of cerebral haemorrhage and arteriosclerosis on 23 July 1927 On his deathbed, Dyer reportedly said:
So many people who knew the condition of Amritsar say I did right...but so
many others say I did wrong. I only want to die and know from my Maker
whether I did right or wrong.
The Morning Post remembered him in an article titled "The Man Who Saved India" and "He Did His Duty" but the (Liberal) Westminster Gazette
wrote a contrary opinion: "No British action, during the whole course
of our history in India, has struck a severer blow to Indian faith in
British justice than the massacre at Amritsar."
Historian Gordon Johnson
commented that "...Dyer's actions ran counter to Army regulations.
These required that force should be constrained by what was reasonable
to achieve an immediate objective; minimum, not maximum, force should be
deployed. Moreover, proper warning had to be given. On 13 April 1919,
as demonstrated by Collett, Dyer ignored this. While he may have
believed the Raj was threatened, and may have thought the mob was out to
attack him and his soldiers, this does not justify his cavalier abuse
of procedure and his indifference to Indian suffering. In so behaving,
he brought not only death to the innocent but also destroyed himself and
undermined the empire in which he took so much pride."

Yes... true
@godSave waldo bro gawar hote hai aise log dont worry😂😂
I still feel bad and very depressed for what our ancestors had gone through and how difficult their lives were made by atrocities by fellow human.
I am grateful for their struggle and passion to keep our culture and identity intact even after so much persecution.
I wish no one goes through what they had gone.
We indians should respect the freedom we are living in and make our country great again.
This would be true attribute to our freedom fighters.
Churchill's inquiry to British officers about "Why is Mr. Gandhi not yet deceased?" during the Bengal Famine brought to mind a similar query posed by a Chief Minister in India during the Gujarat Riots. This Chief Minister asked a Former MP, who had requested safety, a nearly identical question: "Are you still alive?"
I have watched full version of this debate where all of participants gave speech on this topic. But I must say nobody even from England was near to his English eloquence. See how many people even opposition party are clapping which wasn't seen when they were speaking. And let me tell you that his party won in this debate by huge margins
Can u provide the full link for debate.
@@CidersAndReligiousCrusades it doesn't matter how many languages you speak. What matters is what you speak. Fuck his English. Just listen and make ur self understand. That how well and how subtly clear he made everyone aware of the British colonial history! And even at the end. All he said was. India just wants British to recognise the genocide and dictatorship they committed on to the Indians for 150 years! It's not about money. But about morality of standing up and accepting ur mistakes. That. Is what matters!
@@CidersAndReligiousCrusades I hear you bruv😂. But it is what it is. Take me. I've not even opted for any foreign language. And yet I speak 4 languages😂.... And btw... What was that job again.. of ur late friend u spoke about earlier...?
Adam Marshall.. no one said it was against any law..he was just appreciating the fact that his point were delivered in a way which had a certain flow and passion which quite frankly most of the others lacked
Adam Marshall yeah I see now what you are trying to say and I agree with you on that..but I don’t think he meant that in a way to specify a certain country with a certain language ..a different choice of word would have been better on his part.
I'm pretty dang conservative/libertarian/old school, but this guy convinced me all the way with great arguments. The fact that he only asked for a symbolic amount of reparations demonstrates how sincere he truly is.
Thank you sir for at least thinking the another way round.... Thank you
In India 3000 people starve to death everyday, and hundreds of millions more live in extreme poverty. All while the middle class live a life of luxury, and the government spend millions sending a probe to Mars. Not to mention the oppressive caste system. India is clearly in no position to lecture others about morality. If he was sincere he would hold his own nation up to the same amount of scrutiny.
Anyone that is civilized knows the difference good and evil. It should have NOTHING to do with political party affiliation.
@RyanDavies Did you hear his argument on what was India's contribution
to global GDP before the British came and after they left? if yes then you
would understand where the poverty came from. India is indeed on a higher moral
ground than of British of all people. And probably that was india's weak point
back in that time. If India was a sword wielding babarian nation like 17th
century British then we wont have been a colony at all.
And regarding the Mars program, the technology developed by
the funding of that project enabled India to do early detection of Cyclones,
saving millions of lives every year. The
technology developed in space programs across the world are widely used in
daily life (like breast cancer diagnosis) . So, that argument you made is
laughable and makes you sound like an illiterate
Rorys Glory India's GDP share was already in terminal decline before the British arrived, Goods that India had a monopoly were now being produced elsewhere in the world and were therefore dramatically falling in value. Europe was also beginning to go through an Industrial Revolution, a process stage that India was nowhere near achieving.
As for morality, India wasn't busy fighting others because it was busy fighting itself. The British conquest actually prevented a number of horrific civil wars.
Essentially were it not for the Raj, India would still have been poor, but it would also have been disunited. The very concept of Indian unity developed under British rule.
Never could hear enough of this. Must be the 10th time I am watching / listening to this speech. Gladstone and Churchill and Clive and a host of others would turn in their graves, listening to this! Saludos, Indios!
Evidence of atrocities committed by Indians against Indians during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar on April 13, 1919 can be found in multiple sources. British missionary Marcella Sherwood recorded stories of victims who were raped that day, and other accounts have documented reports of looting and destruction of property by Indian soldiers. Additionally, Amritsar's Deputy Commissioner, Michael O'Dwyer, reported to the British government that some of the British Indian troops had "behaved with great brutality and inhumanity" to their own people. These sources provide a sobering reminder of the tragic consequences of the events of that day and the importance of understanding all sides of a situation before making judgements.
my country Somalia, a lots of people were killed and their land were gabbed by other countries, but as it did in different countries of the world, British government never apologised and neither gave compensations to the Somali people, in a way they changed the previous Somali map, giving parts of Somalia to Ethiopian emperors, Kenya and French coastal colonies in western Somalia, known as today Djibouti .
Was this a speech ? This was a tight slap on Britain on behalf of Indians 🇮🇳

All facts and no fake glory. Unke saamne hi unki maari. Maza aa gaya.
Kshitij Tripathi aaj to isne takdi maar li.
Kshitij Tripathi Absolutely, I think what he said near the end was most important. There is no sum of money that can somehow account for the past damage of colonialism. I don't believe Indians are even asking for money. However, there needs to be some serious acknowledgement on the part of the English and other European countries. The Britishers should start by shutting the fuck up about telling people from the Indian subcontinent to get out of England.
Kshitij Tripathi Got to give it to the brits to sit there and take it in the name of academia, in India we would have behaved like goons, beating up the speaker, vandalizing the venue, burning effigies on the roads for this sort of speech.
RogueHedonist True, gotta give it to them. That's liberalism for you.

Nalanda University, located in present-day Bihar, India, was indeed destroyed multiple times throughout its history. It was one of the most renowned ancient centers of learning in the world, attracting scholars and students from various parts of Asia.
The first destruction of Nalanda University occurred during the reign of Mihirakula, a Huna (also known as the White Huns) ruler. Mihirakula was a Central Asian invader who led an army that caused significant damage to Nalanda and other Buddhist monastic centers in the region during the 6th century.
The second destruction of Nalanda University took place in the 7th century. This time, the invaders were the Goudas, who are believed to have been a group of Shashanka's army. Shashanka was a regional king of Bengal who opposed Buddhism. The Goudas attacked and destroyed the university, leading to its downfall.
However, after the second destruction, Nalanda University was restored by the efforts of the Buddhist king Harshavardhana. Harshavardhana, who ruled over a large part of northern India from the mid-7th to early 8th century, was a patron of Buddhism and played a significant role in reviving Nalanda. He provided support to rebuild the university and attract scholars and students once again, ensuring its revival as a center of learning.
Nalanda University continued to flourish for several centuries after its restoration by Harshavardhana until it eventually declined and fell into ruins. The exact reasons for its ultimate demise are not entirely clear but are thought to be a combination of factors such as political instability, invasions, and the overall decline of Buddhism in the region. The ruins of Nalanda were rediscovered in the 19th century and have since been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Apart from the Huns under Mihirakula and the Goudas during the reign of Shashanka, there were other invasions that contributed to the destruction of Nalanda University. Some of the notable invaders include:
1. Bakhtiyar Khilji: In the 12th century, Bakhtiyar Khilji, a general of the Delhi Sultanate, attacked and destroyed Nalanda University. This invasion is considered one of the most devastating for the university, resulting in extensive damage and loss of valuable manuscripts.
2. Muslim Invaders: Nalanda University faced repeated attacks by various Muslim armies during the medieval period. These invasions were part of the larger conflicts between Islamic rulers and regional kingdoms in northern India. The university suffered significant damage during these incursions.
It is important to note that while these invasions caused destruction to Nalanda University, the institution managed to recover and continue functioning to some extent. However, the cumulative impact of repeated attacks over several centuries eventually led to its decline and abandonment.
Overall, Nalanda University faced several invasions and destruction throughout its history, but it also experienced periods of revival and prosperity in between. Its importance as a center of learning and its resilience in the face of adversity remain significant aspects of its legacy.
Goosebumps! Always!
He avenged India's 200 years of slavery in 15 minutes and that to in a BRUTAL way without even harming an insect.
Oh accuracy got harmed along the way in several places through oversimplfying certain aspects, but the readers here only want the sensationalist version. Two examples being to ignore that India (not that it was even a single state) was set to decline in economic status anyway as the western world was going through industrial revolutions which saw massive increases in output that meant they were in the process of racing past India anyway. India was not an untroubled Nirvana before Britain came along. And the speaker here is massively underplaying the complexities of the Bengal famine during the most far reaching of the two world wars. He also seems to have forgotten that Churchill did lobby for American assistance to the famine and also arranged for a lot of food to be sent there once it was established that it wasn't just a local transportation failure. Churchill was no saint, but this guy is making it sound like he wanted it to happen.
@@Dunk1970 Looks like someone's sentiment's also got hurt. My condolence is with you brother.
@@princevegeta3751 Not at all. I'm aware of all the items he listed and at various points in the past have looked them up to establish their credibility or lack thereof. As I said, there is a lot of rhetoric and cherrypicking of stats in his speech. He's a very good orator though, as was Churchill.

I loose my calm whenever I read the comment section. Many Britishers still saying colonization has been done for good and flexing it. They still remained from where they started. There's this guy in the comments who literally saying they teached us! Dude the audacity!!! When I was a kid unaware of what exactly our ancestors went through, our motherland went through, I wanted to study in European countries because of all the reservation thing. But as I'm growing up I promised myself that would never go abroad for any sort of education!! And london will be my last country to even visit. My heart cries when I read, watch any freedom fighters story. But karma is a bitch, what you do comes back to you.

I think Swami vivekananda's and Sashi taroor's speeches have similiar vibes. Although both are scholars in different domains, they share a unique ability to attract the attention of people, especially in a cosmopolitan stage.
It is great honour to hear you sir.
50 years ago it was so controversial to say that the British should give Ireland back to the Irish that Paul McCartney's song saying exactly that was banned from being broadcasted on the radio.
I can't believe it's taken 200 years for British people of high standing to really speak about how wrong it is the things that Britain has done to other countries.
What do you expect from a nation of thieves and cowards??!
I am from Pakistan and whatever he is narrating is the true tale of 200 years ruled by British...! Before partition, we Indians were badly driven by them 😷
Sad thing is they left us with Kashmir Conflict and terrorism hence we are staying under these circumstances and they still believe that we are not independent yet as still quarrelling with each other just to resolve what they left us with 😑
Really bro We r all same...
That moment brother..when i read "we Indians" :')
Yes that true.... We were Indians and the failed 2 nation theory was infact a grand stunt by British secret service agents..... Divide. And rule is thier policy....be it Kashmir, Palestine, Korea,Argentina, BIOT.....or Africa...
India and Pakistan are two eyes of a unified body.
There is no conflict with Kashmir. It's ours. Accept it and improve the relationship with us or keep fighting like you've been doing for decades.
An English friend of mine watched this and exclaimed that Shashi Tharoor speaks better English than most of the English... Lol... Shashi Tharoor could teach English to an English.
Thanks to his years spent at the U.N unfortunately, thanks to U.S he lost both the elections he contested for the Sec.Gen post. Not forgetting he was an Avid reader from his childhood, as he couldn't go out & play like other kids his age as he, had Asthma.
There was a Bengali man called Harinath Dey who knew 34 different languages, he was a student of Calcutta University when Sir Asutosh Mukherjee was the VC,it is said that he once challenged a British professor of English saying the professor didn't know enough English and should learn from him 😂 Shashi Tharoor is today's Harinath Dey
I worked for an Englishman (a Londoner) for 8 years (1997-2005) and on many occasions my colleagues and I had to correct his grammar. But to be fair, this is common to every national. One doesn't achieve mastery over a language just because it is one's mother tongue. Mastery comes from study and practice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Language is a tool to communicate. That's it. There is no point in being eloquent if your audience is unable to understand what you are saying. If people with superior proficiency knew that simplicity is the key to communication, they would be more appreciable.
