Legacy of Violence | Caroline Elkins in conversation with Shashi Tharoor| Jaipur Literature Festival
Sprawling across a quarter of the world's land mass and claiming nearly seven hundred million people, Britain's empire was the largest in human history. In her illuminating and authoritative book Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire, Caroline Elkins reveals an evolutionary and racialised doctrine that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve British imperial interests. Elkins outlines how ideological foundations of violence were rooted in Victorian calls for punishing indigenous peoples who resisted subjugation, and how over time, this treatment became increasingly systematised. In conversation with Shashi Tharoor, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Elkins explodes long-held myths and sheds disturbing new light on the empire's role in shaping the world today.
