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.
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.
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...
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 .
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..
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!
@Mr. Touch i agree, as i have read it was a punishment & propaganda (which as seen is still present) for people living here for decades together to divide them in group based on religions, cast and creed and feed as much hatred as one can because someone had another faith, creed and cast, but were living happily with one another.
I was born in Pakistan but I feel equally represented by this man as any Indian would. Edit: There is so much hate in this world. I commented this because I wanted to show my respect for this man and your country. I wanted to show that I still identify as an Indian. But I did not make this comment so that you can tell me how my country is a myth. How it only exists because of the British and "jihadist propaganda". My country is my identity. Just like India is yours. Despite what your history books say, Jinnah is to me what Gandhi is to you. I showed respect for your country and the only thing I could ask in return is that very same respect. Please don't spread hate. Spread love. Make this world a better place. Hate will not get you anywhere.
No doubt you guys have been taught in history classes that Pakistan is older than India as u got Independence one day before the India...! Btw u gotta feel the same as there was no Pakistan before 1947.

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.
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.
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.
@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.

"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.
England doesn't need India to destroy itself. Just wait a few decades and you'll see the birth of the Islamic republic of Englandistan under Sharia law. Irony is that 6% of Britain's current GDP is contributed by its British-Indian minority population!!
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.
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
As a British person I applaud this man and am sorry to India for what the Empire did to your country. The government and royal family owe India a lot. Upon learning the truth I have decided not to take pride in the history of the British Empire. In school they sugarcoat how they pillaged India when really it was one of if not the greatest theft in history.
Wow its in education system too? No wonder that'll make them feel superior since childhood for no reason. You heard the reality, lucky you were not born India with what empire did. Appreciate your response.
@RAJAT BANSAL As negative as a lot of Indians and Pakistanis in Britain sounds I don't think it's a bad thing, honestly. Not only is it contributing to our society it's also possibly giving Indians and Pakistanis a better life.
@@TarunSharma-gb1uu Yep. Absolutely criminal how they brainwash kids like that. I figured it out ages ago, Indians arent mad at the British government for no reason. If the British Empire did 'help' India then they wouldnt be so pissed. It's no problem. I just find it a shame some people find it so hard to not be ignorant.
A Yougov survey shows that 30 % of The people of UK believe that they were better off when The British empire was there and it is something to " be proud of "
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...
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.
“It’s a bit rich to oppress, enslave, kill, torture, maim people for 200 years and then celebrate the fact that they are democratic at the end of it.” I see British pride melting away with every word that comes out of his mouth. What a lesson.
We will not mind if you become Prime Minister of Pakistan. At some point, I was feeling you are speaking for ~us~ not only Indians. I was getting the feeling that I have some Indian Genes, and yes I have. Salute from Pakistan.
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..
rao muzaffar ohh they gave the arguments that muslims and hindu are different. we bought the argument, you took it more seriously and became holy representative of islam but look now where are we ? if you guys wouldn't have fooled by few individuals arguments then asia would have been in much peace than now (i am an Indian & i have my muslims friends) wo wale nhi jo aap soch rhe hai i m talking about INDIAN MUSLIMS.
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
@Adam Marshall 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!
@Adam Marshall 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.
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 🇮🇳

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.
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."

that too my friend would be way lesser than the actual horrors that have been done, as they usually try to minimise as much as they can of the wrongs they've done, Also, if you might take time to read the history and legacy of India before these waves of colonisations that India faced, you'd far better understand, what valuable diamond these britisher's distroyed!

"No wonder the sun never set on the British empire because even God couldn't trust the British in the dark." This man single handedly DESTROYED 68 million people's opinions on colonialism. Edit: some dude started an entire war in the reply section You may proceed if you want to. You can't say you weren't warned
The Royal family had no shame ever. If u look into their legacy of members n now the new rats born want only American used pussies as princesses aka wife after all their dirty sexcapades get printed on tabloids. Karma is a bitch.
This chap needs to go onto every television channel in the U.K. and teach the British that it wasn’t all gung ho, adventure, and bringing the dubious benefits of the west to the colonies. In every European country they have at a minimum begun to face up to their colonial oppression and have open honest public discourse and education around what they did. In schools it is now part of the curriculum. Yet in Britain…. Nothing except old white wealthy men who voted overwhelmingly for brexit to bring back the empire and get Empire Mk II up and running. Now, in June 2021 they’re beginning to understand that they ought to have listened to the very experts they said they had had enough of, and see that we are no longer Great Britain. We are an increasingly fractured Union of colonised nations, which look like they are going to chart their own course soon. And I wish them every success. So, as to the point, do we owe reparations? Undoubtedly yes, but how do you begin to quantify what we did, the lives taken, enslaved, oppressed, imprisoned and murdered. How do we even quantify the art stolen, the jewels, the very rock and metals that they stood on? You can’t. So, a good place to start, no, a great place to start, is educating our people here in our own murky inglorious history, and having this in every text book, and perhaps have something different on the history channel’s than the royal family and world war 2. Teach about nuanced racism, and how and why we’re seeing the rise of the far right here, and in some European countries. Educate. Educate. Educate. The young now are going to have to literally fix the world and the issues caused since industrialisation, and face up to nations like India running out of water because of the glaciers that feed her rivers have shrunk. Perhaps this is going to be the way forward? Humane, honourable, and generous aid, and immigration opportunities if those people wish it. So. Written in my hospital bed, as I have the second bout of non Covid fortunately pneumonia in five weeks, and I hope that I have made sense, and not missed too much, and strayed from the question beyond a tolerable degree. Oh. And get vaccinated people. You don’t turn magnetic! 😷🇮🇳🇵🇰🇬🇧🏳️🌈👍🏻
British History textbooks never taught anything about my ancestors. Don't confuse British people with the Empire or a few super rich industrialists who caused havoc world wide. The majority of people, in any country, will never appear in the history books because they are too poor and their lives are considered too boring. That's just as true in Britain as anywhere else.
I get goosebumps when ever I listen to this wonderful oratory from Sashi! This speech should be made available and spread to all so that people can learn how to speak a language, with full command, coming up with facts combined with satirical comments! Brilliant!
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.
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

Let me point out the British aid to India which was 0.4% of India's GDP. The Indian government actually spends more than that to provide fertilizer subsidies. That will be a better metaphor for that argument. 👏This guy is ON IT !!
@@priyanshikapoor7368 This means that The 'Aid' or Reparation Helps that British gave was 0.4% of India's GDP which was very little amount of money compared to the $41 trillion they took from us and many people died because of their colonial rule.

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.
@@Gary-bz1rf The acceptance of the wrongs done by brits is far far enough. We don't need nothing else as Dr. Shashi Tharoor had stated in his excellent speech.

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.
@@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.

A Yougov survey shows that 30 % of The people of UK believe that they were better off when The British empire was there and it is something to " be proud of "
You all can never compensate what you did to India by any means, even by being sorry. Don't mind me I am not being racial, but it is the truth . Well after all you need not feel sorry as Dr Tharoor was asking sorry from British government not from its citizens.
Fantastic! His speeches blew my mind. I didn't feel like he is from India, his speeches is amazing. I ever seen such the purest English spoken person by the Indian people.
The English word Thug is from India. The Thuggees in India used to strangle their victims before the Brits came. It was part of their religion. Many Indians will ract to this.
Do you ask my religion? As a boy, I was raised as a Christian and although I stll believe in the principles of helping others and that war is stupid and evil, I am now an agnostic. I am no longer superstitious. I believe organized religion has caused a lot of harm to our species.
I feel after Swami Vivekanandaji's speech before the west, this argument placed before the west by Shri Shashi Tharoor comes in second by an Indian in calibre. 🙏
I am not anti Modi or anti BJP, but if these topics were spoken by any of the BJP’s party members or any other Indian who is extremely patriotic, they would have become over-zealous and lost their cool. Look at the way Shashi Tharoor delivered the speech. The tone, the body language, the wisdom and logic behind his statements without losing his cool or becoming over zealous, shows the quality of the man. I have never seen any politician who had such wisdom and confidence to debate in such a controversial topic in front of a foreign audience with so much eloquence

@@TheInternetFan he's pointing out that India spends more on fertilizer then the UK sends in aid. So the UK's aid is literally worth less than shit to India.
@VK there is no need for forgiveness because they are Indian. Invasions have always been a part of world history. If we all started being mad at a fellow indian muslim just because his ancestors migrated then this country will be a mess. You fight for the good stuff that was stolen and not for the culture that was added.
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.
Lots of young and wrongly educated Brits think their ancestors did nothing wrong and the cause of India's poverty is on us Indians. We don't blame them, we blame their predecessors. I hope they can acknowledge at least that much.
Nope, they are hundred percent right that it is on Indians. Just cause youw watched a single speech doesn't mean you know everything in history. A lot of British were also poor during colonial era.
congress members should choose him as its president instead of uneducated worst president sonia and his son pappu, congress should stop pursuing dynasty poltics anymore and should give other member a chance and should be democratic party in real sense.
Rahul Singh Its unfortunate Sonia Gandhi didnt appreciate his speech, rather she reprimanded Mr Tharoor for being not present in the parliament to stall the proceedings. She could never feel the emotions of an Indian.
Rahul Singh The congress party has many such people who can be put into the category of 'Right people in the wrong place' . And well one can only hope that they realise this at the earliest and make the necessary changes in their structure.

Bimal K Agrawal He was not appreciated by Sonia Gandhi. that's true and really unbelievable.. Perhaps she does not want to appreciate her subordinates (might be she thinks so).. But to clear the picture, let me say, he was not scolded for this speech. Reason is: Tharoor said Congress should not stall the parliament rather give scope for debate on the issues. Although it's correct, but it's against party policy and it was leaked outside. The speech is really commendable..

My interpretation is that like how our govt, rather than allocating a substantial portion of our budget for the purpose of solving our farmers' problems, instead spends a pittance on fertiliser subsidies... similarly British aid to India is much less what is actually needed. But if my interpretation is correct, I find it really surprising that the audience all understood the joke (and immediately!). I wouldn't have thought that the "fertiliser subsidies" problem is present in other countries like England too.. I also watched some reaction videos to this speech and even all those people immediately understood the joke too.

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.

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.

But I did not make this comment so that you can tell me how my country is a myth. How it only exists because of the British and "jihadist propaganda". My country is my identity. Just like India is yours. Despite what your history books say, Jinnah is to me what Gandhi is to you.

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.
@danielharris364 Nominate him a Nobel prize then?
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.

"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.

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

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.

Salute from Pakistan.
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..

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.
How on earth is he getting so much information from that small piece of paper.

It's his brain. His amazing brain.
Robert Neikha thats the fucking notes rest is in his brain
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 forgot to mention Jalianwalabagh...that incident still sends chills down my spine
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."

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.

This speech needs to be included in British textbooks for all their future generations to know of the Glorious 'Brave' acts of their Ancestors.
Suppose you were oppressed too?
@You love UA-cam too?? he has more vocabulary than you . Think before calling him a fool .
This chap needs to go onto every television channel in the U.K. and teach the British that it wasn’t all gung ho, adventure, and bringing the dubious benefits of the west to the colonies.
In every European country they have at a minimum begun to face up to their colonial oppression and have open honest public discourse and education around what they did. In schools it is now part of the curriculum.
Yet in Britain…. Nothing except old white wealthy men who voted overwhelmingly for brexit to bring back the empire and get Empire Mk II up and running. Now, in June 2021 they’re beginning to understand that they ought to have listened to the very experts they said they had had enough of, and see that we are no longer Great Britain. We are an increasingly fractured Union of colonised nations, which look like they are going to chart their own course soon. And I wish them every success.
So, as to the point, do we owe reparations?
Undoubtedly yes, but how do you begin to quantify what we did, the lives taken, enslaved, oppressed, imprisoned and murdered.
How do we even quantify the art stolen, the jewels, the very rock and metals that they stood on?
You can’t.
So, a good place to start, no, a great place to start, is educating our people here in our own murky inglorious history, and having this in every text book, and perhaps have something different on the history channel’s than the royal family and world war 2. Teach about nuanced racism, and how and why we’re seeing the rise of the far right here, and in some European countries. Educate. Educate. Educate.
The young now are going to have to literally fix the world and the issues caused since industrialisation, and face up to nations like India running out of water because of the glaciers that feed her rivers have shrunk. Perhaps this is going to be the way forward?
Humane, honourable, and generous aid, and immigration opportunities if those people wish it.
So. Written in my hospital bed, as I have the second bout of non Covid fortunately pneumonia in five weeks, and I hope that I have made sense, and not missed too much, and strayed from the question beyond a tolerable degree.
Oh. And get vaccinated people. You don’t turn magnetic!

British History textbooks never taught anything about my ancestors. Don't confuse British people with the Empire or a few super rich industrialists who caused havoc world wide. The majority of people, in any country, will never appear in the history books because they are too poor and their lives are considered too boring. That's just as true in Britain as anywhere else.
Equally the Indian insults in the hands of Mughals too. Speak about them too
I get goosebumps when ever I listen to this wonderful oratory from Sashi! This speech should be made available and spread to all so that people can learn how to speak a language, with full command, coming up with facts combined with satirical comments! Brilliant!
He is a showman and a politician - NOT a historian
"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

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.
Let me point out the British aid to India which was 0.4% of India's GDP. The Indian government actually spends more than that to provide fertilizer subsidies. That will be a better metaphor for that argument. 👏This guy is ON IT !!

@@priyanshikapoor7368 This means that The 'Aid' or Reparation Helps that British gave was 0.4% of India's GDP which was very little amount of money compared to the $41 trillion they took from us and many people died because of their colonial rule.

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.

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.

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.

Bimal K Agrawal He was not appreciated by Sonia Gandhi. that's true and really unbelievable.. Perhaps she does not want to appreciate her subordinates (might be she thinks so).. But to clear the picture, let me say, he was not scolded for this speech. Reason is: Tharoor said Congress should not stall the parliament rather give scope for debate on the issues. Although it's correct, but it's against party policy and it was leaked outside. The speech is really commendable..

But if my interpretation is correct, I find it really surprising that the audience all understood the joke (and immediately!).
