Another one of those valuable books that gives a great account about colonialism.
While this book started from a talk about why Britain should pay reparation, the author included so much more and even retracted from the black and white statement on the question of reparation.

In fact, the book is so much more. It talks about pre-colonial India and how the Brits disturbed it, re-organized it and then extracted, extracted, extracted. It shows how little the colonisers cared about the people and its customs and cultures.
I find it so sad that so much knowledge and artifacts have gone missing just because of colonialism.

There is a lot of good stuff in the book, even for people not just specifically interested in India. The author also compares to other colonial powers and oppressors.
After the introduction, it got a little boring for some time, but I really liked the second half.
I learned so much!
