Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India by Shashi Tharoor

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

5.0

A history of the British colonization of India and its aftermath focused on breaking down point by point why people who say colonialism was ultimately good for India are incredibly wrong. It’s a view I was already aligned with, but I was still shocked by the depth of the depravity of British rule as they put extraction of wealth from the subcontinent above everything else, leaving scars that are still felt there today.
