An Era of Darkness by Shashi Tharoor

5.0

One of the bests by Shashi Tharoor as in this one he enlighten the present generation or coming generations about how evil the British Era to India was. There have been many instances in India itself where Indians have been found as to be defenders of British Era, this book was for all such people and people who believe such people that British Era to India had no such fate to do good to India.
All Britishers ever did and introduced in India be it railways, educational institutions, hospitals, trade, and industries, that all was for their own good first. For them Indians were only their subject but not their fellow civilians. They never considered Indians more better than to be their servants or at low level positions than to let Indians achieve what they were capable of. They caused India a great destruction in economy, health, famine, and development.
This book was not just a rant by Shashi Tharoor about British Era. This book is well researched with facts and evidences to supports everything presented in this book.
I always admire writing of Shashi Tharoor and this one is surely one of the books that can make anyone a fan of him.
Brilliant! ❤️
