Thinking Activity : Sunday Reading task On Shashi Tharoor :

Hello Readers...

Warmly welcome to you my blog,

Here's my blog on the Sunday Reading Task: Shashi Tharoor has been announced for the 2019 Famous and Distinguished Literature Academy Awards. In the English language category, the award is given to Shashi Tharoor's Era of Darkness in the "Creative Non-Fiction" category. This work, given by Dr. Dilip Bard Sir.

About Shashi Tharoor :

Born : 9th March 1956

Shashi Tharoor is an Indian politician, writer and former international diplomat who is currently serving as a Lok Sabha MP from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. He also serves as chair of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology and the All India Professional Congress. Shashi Tharoor received the "Literature Academy Award" for his book " An Era of Darkness : The British Empire in India."  In the non-English language non-fiction category in 2019. Shashi Tharoor is the latest, an era of Darkness, an absolute must read. In it, it consolidates all the arrangements necessary to establish that the British Colonial Rules were a frightening experience for the Indians and that they do so with full discussion skills. In fact, his book is an elaborate take on the British exploitation of India, which a long time ago famously provided for Tharoor in the Oxford debate. Tharoor described how the British ruled India. Shashi  Tharoor argues that British rules had no redeeming features.

Here I put my view on some videos about exclusive interview  Dr. Shashi Tharoor on his Book "An Era of Darkness" The British Empire in India.

This is an interview video of Shashi Tharoor, about his own book, "The Darkness of an Age", in this video Shashi Tharoor says that all the book's arguments are against the British Empire. The storyline is not one-sided or one-sided. What I like most is the answer to the question by Shashi Tharoor. The interviewer asks, "Everyone talks about the immediate inheritance of partition and colonial rules. How much do you increase partitioning? How do you blame colonial policies?" Shashi Tharoor's answer is that the whole community of Hindus and Muslims was under colonial rule and the British wanted to separate the Muslim community from Bengal. The biggest change was the separation between different communities. When the British saw how Muslims celebrated Hindu customs, they were shocked to see how Hindus celebrated Muslim customs. This video further content that what I like the most is the Bengal Renaissance. Shashi Tharoor discusses the influence of the "Sati system", saying that the British never interfered with Indian customs. But there were many other Indians who stood up against the widow's remarriage. Raja Ram Mohanaroy who abolished the Sati practice.

Many other arguments by Shashi Tharoor are discussed in this video,

1. The British wrecked our industries.
2. Colonial rules worsened poverty and landlessness.
3. Famines were British induced.
4. Partition.
5. Colonisation of the Indian mind.

The reason for my similarity of these arguments is that Shashi Tharoor openly stands against all the British and writes in his book about India's Darkness praising India. He laid down the realities of each of India. And observed everything that was done by the British in India. He puts all the truth in deep, and pretty much argues about it all.

This is the second interview video of Shashi Tharoor with his new book "Era of Darkness." Is about the influence of British colonialism. This is a very famous book by Shashi Tharoor. Shashi Tharoor says that this is the subject I like the most. He says that for this book he read many journals, articles, academic books and many contemporary histories or other British authors who are best sellers. The argument I like the most in this video is that in response to the question, "What is English Indian wealth now? Do you agree with the premise that if the British never came to India, would India be rich in some kind? Country or developed European. Should not the powers of the countries? "In answer to these questions, Shashi Tharoor beautifully describes the wealth of India and the prosperity of industrialization in India.

Shashi Tharoor says about three industries in India,

(1) Texstyle industry. 

(2) Steele Industry. 

(3) Ship building industry.

And how all the British broke the these industry and established their new industries. How they all used Indian art.

Thanking you.....
