By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold. Beyond conquest and deception, the Empire blew rebels from cannons, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalized racism, and caused millions to die from starvation.<\/p>\n<p>  British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor takes on and demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial &quot;gift&quot; &#8211; from the railways to the rule of law &#8211; was designed in Britain&#39;s interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain&#39;s Industrial Revolution was founded on India&#39;s deindustrialization and the destruction of its textile industry.<\/p>\n<p>  In this bold and incisive reassessment of colonialism, Tharoor exposes to devastating effect the inglorious reality of Britain&#39;s stained Indian legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NULL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_cat":[15],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-31625","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-just-for-you","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"sale","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India - Bookberry.pk - Pakistan&#039;s Largest Bookstore &amp;
