As a (white) New Zealander who lives in the UK, I'm always shocked at how little Brits know about their colonial history. It's something so key to how the UK is what it is today - and how it got there. It absolutely should be taught more and the UK absolutely should apologise for the terrible things that were done to India.

Dr. Tharoor is a gem, I love the way he honestly expresses what he means, very eloquently, sharp and to the point.

I am of Indian and British decent. I am Canadian which puts me in the unique position of being from somewhere else. My cherished cousin Gerry, just passed away in his 90's. He had so many stories to tell from his first hand perspective of living in India during British rule......he was the first in my family to describe the British occupancy as tyranny. This video connects me with my roots.....I'm never sure what those roots are but listening to Shashi, I know they proudly include my Indian ancestry.
