An Era Of Darkness

British rule was, according to Tharoor, an Era of Darkness for India. In his Latest published book ‘An era pf darkness is all about condition of colonized India. British colonial rule was an awful experience for Indians. What India had to endure under the rule of Britishers was outrageous humiliation on name of humanity, Tharoor’s book speaks all about it. In short, book is very god reminder of everything injustice done by Britishers!
There are several things that make the book extraordinary.

(1)Looted with laxity

Indian wealth, ruined indigenous skill and increased rural poverty are product of British raj over India. This is disaster for India. Some numerical information in book is really shocking.

1. In 1700, India’s GDP was 27%of the world GDP while in 1947, it had come down to 3 per cent. Just to put things in perspective, in 1600, Britain’s share of the global GDP was 1.8 per cent.

2. Between 30 million-35 million Indians died of starvation during the British Raj.

3. In the first decades of the twentieth century, 8,000 British officers in India earned £13,930,554 each year, while over the same time, 130,000 Indians in govt. service earned £3,284,163 pounds.

(2)Divide and Rule
Another significant point discussed by Tharoor is Seed of partition and Binary division implied by Britishers. Binary things between Hindu and Muslim created by Britishers Thus, The policy of divide and rule that was so successfully implemented by the British in India in furtherance of the colonial project.

(3) colonization of Mindset

An era of Darkness is not just a narrative of history. It’s open the eyes of Indian and give comprehensive look of British raj over India. Tharoor firmly speaks that even good custom not introduced by British for our purpose but, they were brought in pursuit their own desire for the better rule over India. Railway, Education of English language, freedom of press all were for their comfort. British wrecked our industry, craftsmanship died in cost of machinery. Colonial rule worsened poverty and landlessness. In short they mentally and physically smashed voice of Indians. Rule on India by British is greatest crime on human history.
