@@AkShy-nt1ri I mean oxford is their property they can allow or deny anyone to speak there , but Dr. shashi tharur has many bigger platforms to speak facts as he is stating in this video and is in fact actually argumentatively correct
It's beyond just English; it has more to do with the ability to think and deliver with the right Punch! Shashi Sir, You are a University of English & Knowledge!
Well he makes good points against the british but then still remains half colonised when he pushes the same colonial narratives against those pagan heathen Hindus
When British ruled. We were brothers and sisters. After independence from British it became Hindustan and Pakistan. So why you and I are in the same page.

As a German-born I know how important it is to accept and deal with the entire national history. We can't pick and choose the good parts of our histories and for the rest claim - "oh, I wasn't even born then". That would be ridiculously wrong. It makes us feel better if we become aware of and accept all that really happened before we were born.
@@ahirdey899 the present day Germans don’t have to feel ashamed about their Nazi past and that’s because they weren’t born at that time, ok, I agree. But I think, it’s their moral duty to call what’s right is right and what’s wrong is wrong, i.e., differentiating good from bad is very important lest you make the same mistakes again.
And I know how German education system now teaches its kids about WW2, Hitler, holocausts. And today's german citizens understand and own it, and thats why they take care not to repeat it. Hats off to Germany for this.
@@ifisawyourreplyiwillanswerbackthey do feel ashamed of Nazi past. Its punishable by law to speak in favour of Nazis in Germany. Kids are shown and taught about the history, and they own it and keep an apologetic feeling in their hearts. This info I got to know from people living in Germany, including a german.

Brilliant speech. Every student in schools and colleges should listen to this. When i was in school, we were asked to write an essay on advntages and disadvantage of British rule in India. I wish i had this wealth of knowledge at that time.
the students here are taught to mug up and spit the exact words in their texbooks, if yiu showed this to them they'll stare at it clueless not being able to understand the words, the humour nothing
He's written multiple books, essays and articles on the topic - trust me, he has the figures on the tip of his tongue; the paper is just to ensure he doesn't forget mentioning a particular point.

@@Big_Richardsonif your actions were bad then it would so be looked at in that manner. Had you been so acquainted with your colonial oppression you wouldn't make such a remark of idiocy. And about the victim card well we were victims and just how your country suffers from a historical amnesia, mine don't because we definitely were at the receiving end of this oppression. We were looted of our wealth and henceforth, it is not an attempt to put your country under the bad light but it is a deliberate improvisation to actually show that colonial oppression left our country of wealth and prosperity in absolute plunder and now after 76 years of independence you play the escape card from the actual history
I’m British, and he humbled me. I even read his book “Inglorious Empire” because I was so impressed. I’m 64 now, and it has taken me this long to accept something that should’ve been mine to know when I was a child. My personal apologies to India for the horrors your nation experienced at our hands.
@@Nick.Martin. we Indians do not want the British to suffer the same, because that definitely isn't morally correct. However, we do hope that like German citizens who acknowledge the atrocities committed upon Jews, Britain too accepts that they had left us in a state of misery, poverty and absolute plunder. And never wanted India to rise again as Churchill called Indians "beasts". So what we want now is a sincere apology for the oppression our ancestors had suffered and definitely the ruin of which we are suffering !
No person in India at present has such type of courage to deliver such type of speech in a foreign country with a fluent foreign language, not even our prime minister.
one of my social science Professor made all of us saw the above mentioned 2015 video of Mr. tharoor. So glad that she did so. I would recommend each and everyone to go and watch it!

as a south western indian and middle western kannadiga i can confirm😭😭😂 (why tf would you say south man, we all are indians. i maybe from south but indian first)
The very two people you are claiming to be South Indians are the ones with less South & more proud Indians. Never saw them flashing their South Indian lineage, but others are manipulating their name. Just having South India bloodline doesn’t make you more deserving. Only the weak play victim card and ask to be recognised. Anyone who has put in hard work,passion, sincerity deserves recognition. What has ethnicity got to do with it! Both of them have rarely lived in South during their foundation years. Having a South Indian ethnicity myself, and having lived in many parts of India outside South, I can guarantee you that people, irrespective of their jealousy or appreciation, recognise & give credit to South Indians for their vocabulary, command over English, education, and other positive achievements like women empowerment and economic conditions. please stop this Self pity and stop asking people for recognition!!!
Can you not bring south into it, this mentality needs to go, kal ko saare hi acche orators ko unke region waale aake claim karna shuru ho jaayenge, It's BHARAT, or if that's difficult for a nincompoop to comprehend, for the time being call it INDIA
We also created the word “thugs” from India. That’s true too-We were thugs and looters and I am ashamed of our history. My personal apologies to India and its people.
@@namaste7153Mother Theresa is not English. She is Yugoslavian, another oppressed European country at the time. you might want to double check your facts before commenting
These students are amazing, there appreciation & applaud towards shashi was strong even they need to be applauded for their such an constructive attitude.
The only person I truly feel can give befitting reply to the Brits..Palki Sharma is one other person in the same league...One needs to be well informed before exposing them, and they truly inspire us to do so....Kudos to Mr. Tharoor 🙌🇮🇳
I am always great fan of mr Shashi tharoor. His knowledge is in world politics is great. Unfortunately the bunch of jockers of Congress high command not used his wisdom.
And what the current government is doing ? Quite on inflation, unemployment, manupur issue, selling anything's nd everything to Ambani and Adani .... After 75 years still..we are not even having unity ... one is identified by race, color, ethnicity, caste ... Come guys
@@cyrilmatthew2995 problem is that you're so blinded by politics that you just can't comprehend business and how economic growth is achieved. Feel free to bid on government projects. Govt gives projects to entities who bid lowest, and low bid is possible only when you have an efficient corporate structure and employees. Adani lost power bid in MP. Reliance lost bid to set up oil refinery in Maharashtra. But why would you notice that ? Edit: all this data is present on govt websites, even reported in most good newspapers. Every process is 100% transparent and reasons are clearly given. If a company finds them unreasonable, they almost always approach courts for compensation.
Whatever the controversies surrounding this man, when it comes to delivering the hard truths of the British Empire, no one comes even closer to him. Kudos to this post independence warrior!
Only Person Indian people always believe and trust irrespective of whatever Party he is in to has great character, is wise a gentleman, and a speaker with precise arguments.
There are more who know English well than you think. We are capable of learning your language and mastering it but you can't even think of learning our's.
It's not about gift of the gab or about prowess with the English language. Nor is it about access to information. It takes much clarity of thought and expresiveness to say it as it is. A very select few in the whole world have such clarity of thought and expression. I envy it.
What Patrick does not understand is that, the money that has been sent between 2016 & 2021 is business. That is not free given aid money. But Shashi Tharoor is talking about the WEALTH which they LOOTED.
Shashi Tharoor is the only person in the entire opposition or our political system which I like hearing to. Keep up the good work and enlighten the world about the depths of our Hindu society. Jai Bharat. Jai Shri Ram.
Well he makes good points against the british but then still remains half colonised when he pushes the same colonial narratives against those pagan heathen Hindus
Perfect, Mr. Sasi tharoor, you have disclosed the British sleek mindedness with out any hesitation, once again i appreciate your declaration of the naked truth against the invaders who dressed up like gentelmen to loot the innocent poor people.
Prosperity of british came from every british soldier had laid down their life until year 1900 around the globe,, in each and every continent, every nation the soil mixed with british soldier blood. .।।। I salute
What a magnificent speech by Shashi Tharoor. Interspersed with historical truth . Brilliantly witty and satirical. Tharoor' s English will make an Englishman run to dictionary. Tharoor is patriotic to the core. Kudos . Speaking in England before English audience
Bro speaks better English than the British themselves 💀. Hats off to Dr. Tharoor. Most of the world doesn't even talk about the impact of the World Wars on the Asian and African colonies. It's a pity that so many Western nations preach democracy and peace but are being very hypocritical in saying so.
India was always a subcontinent and never a country before 1947 Brit created India as a country India is a word that comes from a province and a river of Pakistan. Sindh and river Indus respectively
Just giving you a reality check all British could do was invade countries,create famines and torture people the whole Britian stands on heaps of corpses,such a pity! And now their prime minister is an Indian,karma hits back obviously
"The statistic that India produced 25 per cent of world output in 1800 and 2 to 4 per cent of it in 1900 does not prove that India was once rich and became poor. It only tells us that industrial productivity in the West increased four to six times during this period. National income statistics do not show that during British rule the Indian economy became steadily poorer".

Wish we had more politician as smart as him and as gutsy as him to speak out the truth or rather a frustation an entire story of slavery our country been through, today many have forgot that and still behave like beggers in front of these Britishers
As an Indian after hearing this how much Britain loot the India, we can't do anything to change past but let all remember and pass this to generation to generation of how much suffering our country has taken, never forgot and learn from this.
I really don't understand, why some of the people only focuses on his english language... What a sick mindset... Better, focus on the points he mentioned....
A good leader we have in india.... India is blessed to have such an educated leader,well said sir ❤❤❤❤❤ I just admire you alot ❤❤❤ From Nagaland india jai hind
India's real GDP grew under the British, but the world GDP grew even more mainly because of an industrial revolution in the West.

@@andrewwilliams3137 It's quite easy to just discredit established facts with research produced by people who are born and lived in India. The point here is it is well acknowledged fact even by top academics that British Rule in India produced negative results more than the positive ones. Railways Yes Roads Yes the Administration system yes but the life expectancy? No! The Cultivation System of Zamindari, Ryotwari and Mahalwari? Not a chance I could yap on but the truth that this fact is acknowledged by even British historians I could easily get you 2 to 3 British historians who can argue against Mr. Roy it's similar to saying the Belgian Colonialism in Congolese did not contribute to destruction of its GDP but instead in growth of its GDP while conveniently ignoring the actions of the Belgians. And atlast the question arises who manipulated the revenue and benefited from this GDP the British or the natives more? You could easily answer the question.
@@lordlegendian0287 A life expectancy of 35 years doesn't mean most people died at 35 as child mortality rates were always high in the past, as much as 30-50% or more, so a life expectancy of 35 years could occur if say for every child that died in infancy, another person would have lived to over 65 years. In 1800 life expectancy in Europe was around 34 years while in Asia about 28 years.

@@lordlegendian0287 It was cheaper for India to import iron & steel than make it itself. One of the biggest British exports to India alongside railway engines was iron & steel. But Britain created an Indian coal industry from nothing, a valuable natural resource for India. Without coal India could not have a modern steel industry. Tata Steel was founded by Indians in 1907 by 1939 was one of the largest in the Empire and is now one of the largest steel companies in the world.
