Re: Shashi Tharoor argues Britain must pay India for its colonial rule damages
Has this indian politician just woken up? Nevertheless his points have caused a great stir all over and infact he won a debate held in Oxford for the same. I wonder wut do people in UK say about it?
He is asking britian to pay for entire damage done to India in 200 years of its rule and leaving India in a dire state. I think he has a point but if we go that far, shouldnt everyone be asking the same from Britian?
Viewpoint: Britain must pay reparations to India - BBC News
.At the end of May, the Oxford Union held a debate on the motion “This house believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies”. Speakers included former Conservative MP Sir Richard Ottaway, Indian politician and writer Shashi Tharoor and British historian John Mackenzie. Shashi Tharoor’sargument in support of the motion , went viral in India after he tweeted it out from his personal account. The argument has found favour among Indians, where the subject of colonial exploitation remains a sore topic. **http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/media/images/77588000/jpg/_77588428_464x2.jpg ) …
