    What Tharoor said in those 8 minutes?
  • Tharoor in his speech focussed on how the British took maximum advantage of India.

    He claimed that "Britain's rise was financed by its depredation of India".

    Tharoor blamed the Brits for irretrievably damaging India's cloth trade and "flooding the world's markets" with cheap factory made cloth.

    He also described India as Britain's richest "cash cow" that paid for its own "oppression".

    What the Brits have to say on reparations?
  • The British leadership has been rather mute and reluctant to discuss the issue of giving reparations to the colonies it ruled.

    David Cameron on his visit to Amritsar in 2013 said that the Amritsar massacre was a "shameful event", but fell short of a real apology.

    Similarly when Gordon Brown was Chancellor, he had said that Britain must stop apologising "for its colonial past".

    Tharoor not a hero for everyone!
