The list of awardees in all languages is attached. The award in the English language category is awarded in the "creative non-fiction" category to Shashi Tharoor's An Era of Darkness.

Dr. Shashi Tharoor is delivering this speech in front of white people in this statement against Oxford Union. Listening sounds really cute. I really appreciate Dr. Clutter Tharoor's views. 'India ruled for the benefit of Britain'. The most surprising thing is that about the common people, Keshi Tharoor has challenged the main story and set a modern point of view in his arguments. The main thrust of Dr. Tharoor's speech was about the economic toll that British rule took on India. "India's share of the world economy when Britain arrived was 23 percent. By the time the British left it down to four percent. Why? Simply because India had been governed for the benefit of Britain. Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India. " "In fact, Britain's industrial revolution was actually premised upon the de-industrialization of India." Why? Simply because India was governed for the benefit of Britain. Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India. In fact, Britain's industrial revolution was actually premised upon the de-industrialization of India. By the time the British left it was down to 4 percent.

Dr. Tharoor delivered a talk entitled 'Return to British rule in India' and discussed how the British king shaped the narrative around Indo-UK relations. The former diplomat, who is currently serving as a member of the Indian Parliament, was discussing relations between the two countries at the university's McEwan Hall on Monday, October 2 - Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. Tyranny and violent nature were made clear. The point of departure for this lecture was the beginning of British colonialism in the subcontinent of South Asia. Tharoor described Britain's arrival in India as crucial for the successful establishment of the Raj and then clarified the early stage of economic exploitation. The British not only raised tariffs on Indian textiles but literally cut the weaver's toes as a means of destroying the Indian textile industry. Prior to British rule, Tharoor argued that the continent had a thriving economy based on the production of high-quality textiles demanded by the Roman Empire, a durable wooden ship that lasted three times longer than British ships, and was an innovative method of steelmaking. General Chat Lounge Tharoor's argument was that before 200 years of colonial exploitation, India was 23 percent of global GDP, but in 1947 it was one of the poorest countries in the world. In simple terms, the British made India poor. This lecture was an attachment to Tharoor's new book, English Empire: Year 2 What. The book was a companion to the English Empire: What the British Did Did to India (2017), based on their speech in the Oxford Union debate titled 'British News Repairs to Their Ex-Colonies', which went viral.

Dr. Shashi Tharoor has drawn much praise for his spirited argument at the Oxford Union debate, demanding reparation payments by Britain to India for its 200-year colonial rule, which, he said, led to the crumbling of India's economy.

This episode of 'To the Point' features an exclusive interview with Congressman Shashi Tharoor, in which he talks about his new book, Derpana: The British Empire in India.

In the 21st century, India's share of the world's economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, it had declined sixfold. In the English Empire, Shashi Tharoor tells the real story of the British, the arrival of the East India Company from 1757 to the end of the Raj, and shows how Britain grew on its frustrations in India. India was Britain's largest cash cow, and the Indians literally paid for their own oppression. Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on the deindustrialization of India and the destruction of its textile industry. Under British rule, millions died of starvation - including 4 million in 1943 alone, after the national hero Churchill turned Bengal's food stock toward war effort. Beyond victory and deception, the empire ousted rebels from cannons, assassinated anti-weapon protesters and entered institutional racism. British imperialism regarded itself as a proletarian democracy for the benefit of governance. The arguments for the Tharoor Empire go ahead and show how every supposed royal 'gift' from the railway to the rule of law was made in the interest of Britain alone. This misunderstood reappraisal of colonialism reveals the devastating impact of the illusory reality of Britain's stained Indian heritage.

"Listening to Tharoor is addictive, and his book, born of his speech in the Oxford Union which went viral, is just as charming. Tharoor eagerly echoes why the British Raj should never be proud or confused as a gift to India, and its settlers. Exposes devastating rape on India by "" ferocious and shocking. Essential to Britain lost to Sepia's fantasies about her past, the English Empire is the history of its clearest and best cuts. "Tharoor is sure to break some of the more myths about the mission of Britain's supposed culture in India ... He has charted the destruction of the pre-colonial system through the books of the British Government and their ubiquitous ledgers and rules. "Tharoor's book - the controversy of the 2015 controversial Oxford settlement in which he proposed" revenge for Britain's former colonies "- should set fire to both India and Britain ... it makes sense. Case, saying examples. '
