Shashi Tharoor: Britain Does Owe Reparations
Shashi Tharoor at his best putting the British in their place while speaking at the Oxford. This is a must watch.
PS: Please stick to the topic. All the pathetic losers, stay off.

>>>Nice humor-laced digs, which is commonplace at the Oxford Union debates. The bigger problem is the country is an also-ran and I didn't even know they were giving out any meaningful aid.Kinnera wrote:

Ya, he's a great debator. I enjoyed everything in his speech except the last part where he said he'll be happy with a pound a year for the next 200 yrs. I felt that he watered down with that statement. Anyway, i don't expect anything from the brits. They ain't givin nothing. I don't care abt their acknowledgement either. As long as the youngsters know what they did and are repulsed by it, it's enough. Tharoor's speech seemed to have that effect among the young audience in the hall.Kris wrote:>>>Nice humor-laced digs, which is commonplace at the Oxford Union debates.

Re: Shashi Tharoor: Britain Does Owe Reparations
when is he going to ask central asian nations for reparations for turko mughal invasions ?? or is it politically correct to blame only the british for their rule because they did not leave any minority behind to protect the memory of their rule ??
i guess if they had raped hindu women like the muslims did and produced hordes of british descended people who would not tolerate criticizm of british rule ( just like muslims do not tolerate criticizm of islamic rule ) then shashi tharoor's mouth would have remained shut over the issue .
the british are easy targets because they were gentlemen conquerors who packed their bags and left without leaving any population behind . on the other hand no one has the guts to say anything about the turko mughal invaders .

Re: Shashi Tharoor: Britain Does Owe Reparations
i was thinking of the same things as those in the article linked below but could not articulate them in my mind when i was watching the speech (mostly because it was unimportant to me then). so i will, now, merely give you a link to the article because:
- i lack originality;
- because phlegmy has delivered a master stroke by exposing my weakness (see above) and it is gnawing at my bones;
- because i just spilt tea on my lungi;
- because today is monday; and
- because we shuld give phlegmy something to cheer about every monday.
http://akkarbakkar.com/dear-shashi-tharoor-your-accent-could-not-mask-the-holes-in-your-speech/
paging kinnera: SHASHI THAROOR IS AN IDIOT.
your turn.
2 points the critic missed (in the link above) and that had crossed my mind:
- i believe that british rule, retrospectively, was a prophylactic for india (the concept india was highly vulnerable to fragmentation or balkanization). the least colonial rule did was hold back other hostile invasions and keep the union intact.
- the brits built the rail roads not just for their goods transportation. tharoor is wrong! it was used and intended to be used for public transport also and for P&T and sundry. it all might have been solely in "colonial" good, but, regardless, THEY BUILT IT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE IN INDIA FOR GOOD. then there was a twist of fate.

Now that is the ultimate insult to him - being scolded by a white-skinned Phoren Bar-mata and her Genius son.
