Book Description
Inglorious Empire' tells the real story of the British in India from the arrival of the East India Company to the end of the Raj, revealing how Britain's rise was built upon its plunder of India. In the eighteenth century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold. Beyond conquest and deception, the Empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism, and caused millions to die from starvation. British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor takes on and demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial "gift" - from the railways to the rule of law -was designed in Britain's interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on India's deindustrialisation, and the destruction of its textile industry.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on British India: Delivered in the Friends' Meeting-House, Manchester, England, in October, 1839 Such persons will not feel any interest in the noble eflbrts which are making, by the philanthropists of Eng land, to raise up British India from degradation and heathenism. They feel none in the great reformation which is going on in this country, for the emancipation of nearly three millions of their own countrymen from chains and slavery - and how can it be expected that they will have any bowels of mercy for the downtrodden, perishing natives of India.
