Shashi Tharoor's An Era Of Darkness
Shashi Tharoor's latest, An Era of Darkness, is one breathless read. In it, he aggregates all the arguments required to establish that British colonial rule was an awful experience for indians and he does so with a consummate debater's skill. His book is,in fact, an expanded take on British exploitation of india that famously carried the day for Tharoor in an carried the day for Tharoor in an Oxford debate not too long ago.
Tharoor is an excellent orator, well-spoken, warm and articulate, his Cambridge university speech inspired this book. What is surprising is or, on reflection, perhaps not, is an greater a orator as Tharoor is, his writing style, although well-research and engaing, is didactic and lacks the elegance of his vocal abilities, some of his puns lose their verve without the cadence of his voice, some of his homities become slightly.
This is not an academic text and there is no way that Tharoor can cover over two hundred years of history in detail in a book this size and nor does he attempt to do so. He does point the reader to where these sources can be found. As can be imagined there were screams of outrange in the British press. One hilarious example is an article im history Today which while recognizing famine and massacre, criticizes.
Actually we are the future of this nation who is locked in a room and what our system teaches us is looking at our past through a peephole. The fault is not completely of the system we are also not interested in our past. We are the generation who are creating a future without having any idea of our past.
In his latest book shashi Tharoor dared to divide the grey zone clearly into black and white. With great research and the arguments which the author about how a country which was far behind us came to our nation and changed our nation forever.
I have not read this book but heard his panel discussions on this book. His views regarding the plunder and pillaging caused by the British rule are accurate he has done through research supported by statistics. He gives us a true insight about the dark side of the East India company. Their main objective was to rampage and loot us so that we could fill the conffers of britaniat.
