Inglorious Empire by Shashi Tharoor
What the British Did to India
A concise, impassioned critique of British colonial rule in India arguing that imperial policies systematically impoverished and deindustrialized the subcontinent through economic extraction, punitive taxation, destructive trade rules and administrative decisions that caused famines and stunted growth; it dismantles myths of a benevolent empire by documenting the fiscal “drain,” racial attitudes and institutional harms, and calls for an honest reckoning with the long-term damage and injustices left by colonialism.
