It's great that we are able to see history from a  western perspective.

You have my sympathy. Do you know the origin of the word "loot"?

Ghengis Khan told a sultan that he may have sinned an awful lot for god to send him to punish them.

You fellas cannot see that this Shashi character is trying to get a university job in a western liberal arts college to explain to liberal whites how white people turned him into a Paki.

Shashi Tharoor  has a doctorate from Harvard University and has published extensively.  He can get a job at virtually any university. 

Then how come he is not lecturing at Harvard or Yale?

Shashi Tharoor Biography

Shashi Tharoor  has a doctorate from Harvard University and has published extensively.  He can get a job at virtually any university.

Sorry, his Ph.D. is from Tufts.  I was thinking the Kennedy School but the Fletcher School is just as good.  Tharoor is an intellectual giant.

Tharoor passport probably got multiple visas for ABC countries.  His former wife was a British Canadian woman.  He can talk nuff nonsense without thinking of the consequences for poor Indians who would like to have a better life.  All this fool is doing is pissing off white people and playing into the hands of racist British white people.  Poor Indians will pay the price for this man's stupidity.  Just like how poor Guyanese East Indians are paying the price now and into the future for Jagan and his Romanian/Hungarian wife foolish big talk and big mouth hateful stupidness nonsense. Hungary is now openly against immigration because they are now unashamed of saying that they want to keep the white colour of their kids kids.

Tharoor was born into an Indian expatriate family living in London, which returned to India after his birth. He completed a bachelor’s degree at the University of Delhi in New Delhi, and in 1978, at age 22, he was awarded a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. At that time Tharoor was the youngest person ever to earn a doctorate from the Fletcher School. Later that year he became a staff member in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva, Switzerland.

During his subsequent 23-year career as a diplomat in the United Nations, Tharoor served in various capacities, including deputy chief of the UNHCR Secretariat (1985–89), special assistant for the United States and UN for peacekeeping (1989–96), executive assistant to the secretary-general (1997–2000), and under-secretary-general for communications and public information (2001–07). In 2006 Tharoor was chosen as India’s official candidate for the post of secretary-general. He finished second out of the seven candidates in the 2007 election, which was won by former South Korean diplomat and politician Ban Ki-moon. Following his defeat, Tharoor resigned from the UN and became the chairman of an investment company based in the emirate of Dubai (Dubayy).

Mits, why does he have both "Inglorious Empire" AND "An Era of Darkness" on sale at Amazon? They are both the same! I was suckered into buying both! He didn't know, huh?

Shashi Tharoor is booked under Section 306 of the IPC, which attracts maximum punishment of 10 years.

Shashi Tharoor had earlier compared Modi to 'a scorpion sitting on a Shivling' and 'you cannot remove him with your hand and you cannot hit it with a chappal either'.

Shashi Tharoor attacks PM Modi again, calls him hero on white stallion with upraised sword.

Shashi Tharoor renewed took another jibe at PM Modi saying there have been lot of contradictions in PM's style of work in the past four and a half years.

Shashi Tharoor asks why BJP has not built bigger statue for the Mahatma.

Shashi Tharoor was dropped from the post of congress spokesperson on 13 October 2014 after he praised statements of his party's opponent, Prime Minister Modi.

Shashi Tharoor gets it wrong again: Institution of democracy, not Jawaharlal Nehru set stage for 'chaiwalla' as PM.

I have no doubt the British came to one of the richest countries in the world that was exploited for the rulers, not for the people! Why should the British be any different? Who allowed the British? This idiot is deceptive!

Cricket was played in India even before the British went there. Cricket was first reported when the boys hit the ball into the pond, there was a snake there. Krishna, not Shellyv , went in and killed that monstrous snake and retrieved the ball.  Baansuri Waala used it to bring the various Jaatis together. As usual, the Angrezees would like to take credit for it.

The British were stinking DOGS and must never forget that!!

Nehrubhai, In 1838, there were millions of beggars and homeless people in the streets of Calcutta. They were starving and naked. They prayed for a miracle and the British ships came and took them in. Fed them, give them blankets to wrap their naked bodies, and pillows to sleep on the deck. That was something India never did for them. They were brought to the west indies and were given a roof over their heads, jobs so that they can feed their families.

Don't curse those British People.

Yeah? My father, a Rajput, said in court that he had to sell his gold jewellery, which signified he came from a wealthy land owning family, to get food onboard! That he was misled by those recruiting labourers for British Guiana! His curiosity and wanderlust got him into that fix! He was in South Africa before!

As I've said before, Rama, India was indeed a wealthy country but that wealth was for the rulers and those who helped them! Why should the British be any different? A Dravidian once pointed out to me that no one invades a poor country! So true!

Perhaps you guys should watch Lagaan, especially if you like cricket.

Publishers seem to know best of their target markets.

According to Quora, Era of darkness was for India. Inglorious Empire is for Brittain.

Haven't read them. Gonna get me a copy.

Have a great day.
