Shashi Tharoor on Astounding Facts About India Under British Colonialism That You Have Never Heard

Shashi Tharoor on how Britain broke India's industrial spine with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra, The Arts & Ideas Club, Gurgaon on 5-December 2016

Tharoor debunks the notion of any British contribution to the building of modern India in his book 'An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India'. He says, “the British came to one of the richest countries in the world; conquered it, looted it and drained its resources and left it as one of the poorest countries.”

Shashi Tharoor, a former international civil servant, a second-term Lok Sabha MP and a renowned writer, has been an union minister for external affairs as well as human resource.

Algebra takes the idea of a club – a universe of the likeminded – and expands it to new paradigms. The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.

Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.

Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us. For more, click HERE:
