Brilliant job done ❤
Thie was a good and lively intellectual debate. At the heart of the issue is how to interpret primary sources such as memoirs, government documents, newspapers and broadcasts.
Wtf mr.zareer says nono dont discuss abt 18000 plz discuss whn 1947 when britishers won
Western-educated minion of Shashi Tharoor, Bringing in his secular wokeist garbage. McCauley would be so proud of him.
India was not Africa. It had an advanced civilisation but still it was far behind England. Apart from other things, Europeans were far more educated as compared to general Indians. Let's take the example of artificial fertiliser, it was based on German research, but it came to India through its contact with Britain . When we compare the education level of two societies, we can say that Indians were semi-literates whereas Europeans were highly educated people. It is undeniable fact, why would we distort history.What's the purpose of telling lies to public?

This talk given by Manu was so refreshingly engrossing. Manu brought history alive with his excellent talk, studded with factual details , straddling centuries of Indian history, and intelligently condensed in one easy flow . Do we have professors of his calibre in any of our universities today ? Decades back, in LSR , the history hour was so dull, that we skipped it, rather than be forced to concentrate on the insipid drone of the history lecturers. Another point which deserves to be commended, is when Manu drew our attention to the current Government's misplaced sense of cultural loyalty rooted in religious bigotry. Senselessly they have expended crores of rupees, to mulishly erect temples in supposedly historic spots, so as to avenge the destruction done to our temples by past invaders . What a way of making peace with our collective consciences! If we care so deeply about the preservation of our cultural heritage, what have you got to say about the general state of decay of so many priceless heritage monuments all across India, whose architectural grandeur and their sheer scale of magnificence is beyond compare . Today they are crumbling relics of the past. The awe inspiring temples of the South ,are in such a sorry state of neglect, with ugly electirc wires looped spaghetti- -style, in the most irreverent manner around the stunning idols ......what is the archaelogical department of India doing to preserve our much celebrated heritage? Thank you Manu for this brilliant talk.
I thoroughly enjoyed this respectful, factual and spirited debate between two well matched experts on the subject of the British colonisation of India.
Zareer is been paid by british alias looters, so his speech doesn’t make sense😂😂
Is it litfest or shitfest?
But WhatsApp history can change election
Enjoyable all the way thru
Now I understand how brown coolies like Dr. Masani managed to motivated rule a huge subcontinent
Zareer kept shifting goalposts whenever Shashi whacked his nonsense! The fact is the British LOOTED india and actually destroyed the NW by creating a D grade nation called Pakistan to PREVENT USSR accessing the Arabian Sea trade routes. The thieving Brit’s entered into an evil back room illicit agreement with Jinnah to allow the Pakistanis to ANNEXE the INDEPENDENT COUNTRY of Baluchistan (yes they got independence along with India and Pakistan)! Why was a special reservation of seats allowed for Muslims? Were there special reserved seats where only Hindus could vote for Hindus? The whole Zareer argument is bereft of figures of the LOOT & PILLAGE of Hindustan by enslaving British “royalty”! Why did Britain create an INCOMPETENT RADCLIFFE LINE as far back as 1943 (under the India hater Churchill) and implement it in a matter of weeks in 1947? Churchill was a lousy SOB whose bones should be interred and fed to pigs! The time has come when Britain has collapsed because they cannot sustain without LOOT! Britain shall pay dearly for their repressive and cruel exploitation of colonial (mis)rule! As per latest research these lousy buggers owe a reparation of USD 45 TRILLION to India. We don’t want it. Let the nation of lousy shopkeepers feed on that LOOT! We will rule that shitty nation very soon - all their business is mostly under Indian dominance anyways India shall NEVER FORGET that the lousy Brit’s sent in the HMS Eagle Fleet into the Arabian Sea when the jerk Nixon sent the USS Enterprise into the Bay of Bengal in 1970, only to scoot like rats when the Russian subs showed up in between East Bengal (Bangladesh) and their fleet. Indians shall never forget. We shall rule UK economically India shall be glorious again! Boo to white skinned lickers like Zareer! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
First of all taking 7 year old to such a movie shows immaturity of the parent
Eloquent........
Alas! Sashi protests too much! And he talks over his interlocutor.
Poor Sashi, facing someone with facts. Sashi is getting rattled and resorting to speaking over his debater without facts to support his argument. Until now, no one ever contracted him, so now he resorts to just speaking over his interlocutor and raising his voice. Poor debater.
Yeah, it's kinda same as chinise "historians," and politics say China was grate until the west arrived sometime people shoud swallow there pride amd just accept the truth
@@gintasasd to accept that non white people are an inferior race?
2024 I watching this video

(8:00) LMAO 🤣 Shurpanakha quoting Shariah. So Shurpanakha belonged to which fiqh of Islam. 😂
While I agree that things were not black and white and there were silver linings here and there, it is what the majority of incidents and that the overall drive was religious for the invaders is something we need to acknowledge. Once the fact that these terrible atrocities were committed is acknowledged only we decide how to go ahead in a better way. The problem is the reluctance to acknowledge these.
Brilliant kid.
What a roast you guys😅😂😂
Apart from racial considerations, there was practical necessity to keep Europeans in top bureaucratic positions. White people in India had to deal with ultra high occupational hazard. So handing top jobs like Commissioner of Police and Civil Administrator of City to local Indians could create security issues for Europeans.
I commend any Indian who loves their country, and is justly proud of their independence movement, who is also brave enough to discard historical caricatures and myths about British rule. I'm not defending the Raj; noted economists like Amartya Sen are highly critical of it, and that makes me hesitate to fully embrace what Masani is saying here, but we need more open-hearted curiosity and less snap judgment in this world.
Obio u should be proud of ur country ,british empire but what about looking at side of humanity? The treatement they gave to indigenous ppl of land !that all
Watching this video in 2023, after the muzzafarnagar school incident, his words at 33:37 just blows your mind off! Its uncanny how he predicted the consequences so precisely.
Seeing all the stupids praising this idiot who want to be poster boy of the british just like Gandhi and Nehru, your ancestors must be crying, no victor write any bad history about themselves and you are reading their writings to know the damage they done to India, this guy is idiot but may be due to his loyalties could not be trusted because of being momo follower, that itself reduced his credibility if he could not decide what is right and wrong being Momo as humanity role model he is just a zombie, nothing else.
We had south Indian history in our books and were taught it but then our school gave lots of importance to the humanities also rather than science and maths which most schools tend to.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sorry 1885
Mr Zareer was talking about rule of law. Are the two debaters aware that Indian judges in High Court were paid two third salary paid to British judges. till 1985.
These people operate in entirely different world and hence the effect of their lyrics and soulful intelligent music
Britishers never came to India to serve us,East India Co wanted to do trade,then plunder n loot eventually!period.from sone ki chidiya 2 destruction
Tharoor lacked facts. Later emotions and n at d end truth .... 😂😂😂😂. Fucked up. Masani made it. ❤
What a intellectual 💖
Com k k Lal salam lalolalsala.❤
Shashi Tharoor is talking bullshit. English ships were made of Oak, and would last around 30 years on average, and it is a better material than Mahogany. It resists salt water corrosion better and is easier to work with. Indian ships would have been made with Teak, not Mahogany' that was the standard material in the tropics. He doesn't even know what he is talking about. Britain has been at the front of naval architecture for 3 centuries. The East and West Indiaman ships were British and Dutch ships, the best at the time. Look up the build records, they're online. The only exception were the ships built by Wadia Group/ Wadia Family of Bombay Docks, who supplied high quality ships - Tharoors fictional account has no relation to that history. Britain had every right to protect its own ship building industry in 1817 and protect its workers...how is this even controversial? Is it racist for the British government to be pressured to protect its tax payers? He has no interest in the truth. He has made his mind up and simply runs his mouth with inaccurate data trying to confirm his bias.
Commendable truly
This debate was over in the first five minutes when the guy in blue gave an erroneous export figure was corrected by the guy in green and said "but the point I'm trying to make". Let's not let the facts get in the way shall we. Then at the end it all makes sense, one is a politician and one is a historian. One likes facts the other likes votes. Warning Hitlers rise to power followed a similar path, nationalism and victimhood.
That's how debates are done... Listening, Countering with facts and acceptance...not the way our Hindi Media organises debates... shouting, shouting and SHOUTING
brother please watch debates on dd news
Love this Debate. It’s a very interesting part of history. Respect to them both
At 5.58 / yeah bro send him to Dadar Shivaji Park. We'll have chai 😆
At least one of you dhould go and fuck momta
Consciously choosing to defend the rapacious actions of your ancestors just shows how immoral and rotten you Britishers in the comments are.
Exactly one hundred percent correct Indians are horrible people committing atrocities against Indians and blaming the British you are 100% correct
Talking about gdp before the industrial revolution is silly.
You can never give Indians any education they will never learn Indians will never learn
