Empire debate - Shasi taroors thrilling speech at Supreme Court building London

Empire debate - Thiruvananthapuram MP Mr Shasi Taroor was invited for a function marking the 400th anniversary of British rule in India. At Supreme Court building London , he delivered a thrilling speech which pointed out how British invasion on India destroyed Indian resources.

At the beginning of the 18th century India's share of the world economy was 23%, as large as all of Europe put together. By the time we won independence, it had dropped to less than 4%. The reason was simple: India was governed for the benefit of Britain. Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India.
