We literally paid for our own oppression. - Shashi Tharoor

I, for one, dearly hope that a British prime minister will find the heart, and the spirit, to get on his or her knees at Jallianwala Bagh in 2019 and beg forgiveness from Indians in the name of his or her people for the unforgivable massacre

अंकुश लगाने की बजाय सभी पार्टियों की सरकारें इनका खुल कर समर्थन करती रही हैं। इनकी धार्मिक प्रकृति इन्हें नशे और अपराध की दुनिया का एक कहीं बेहतर और सुरक्षित विकल्प बना देती है। इन डेरों ने नशे की लत को कम किया है, लोगों के अकेलेपन को समुदाय से जोड़ दिया है और मोहभंग और हताशा की आवाज़ को ईश्वरीय आस्था में बदल दिया है

The British did little, very little, of such things. They basked in the Indian sun and yearned for their cold and fog-ridden homeland; they sent the money they had taken off the perspiring brow of the Indian worker to England; and whatever little they did for India, they ensured India paid for it in excess. And at the end of it all, they went home to enjoy their retirements in damp little cottages with Indian names, their alien rest cushioned by generous pensions supplied by Indian taxpayers.
