An Era of Darkness
An Era of Darkness
written by the ‘Shashi Tharoor’. He is an Indian Politician and diplomat. Tharoor’s latest, An Era of Darkness, is one
breathless read. In it, he aggregates all the argument required to establish
that British colonial rule was an awful experience for Indians and he does so
with a consummate debater’s skill. India had to endure under them was
outrageous scale and sustained violence of a kind it had never experience
before. In short, British rule was,
according to Tharoor, an era of darkness for India, throughout which is
suffered several manmade famines, wars, racism, maladministration, deportation
of its people to distant lands and economic exploitation on an unprecedented
scale.
