An Era of Darkness:-
An Era of Darkness: the British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor. He pretty much takes Britain's bottom its rapacious, the loot of India. We can see in this book, he gives all the arguments required to establish that British colonial rule was a terrible experience for Indians and he does so with a consummate debater’s skill. His book is, in fact, an expanded take on British exploitation of India that famously carried the day for Tharoor. According to Tharoor, there was nothing restoring in the British rule of our country. What India had to suffer under them was humiliation on an enormous order and maintained violence of a kind it had never experienced before. In short, British rule was, according to Tharoor, an era of darkness for India, throughout which it suffered several men made famines, wars, racism, the deportation of its people to distant lands and economic exploitation on a remarkable hierarchy. Tharoor even demands time compensation and a public apology from the British for all the damage they had caused India. Tharoor’s debate established and wildly popular in India. Everything the British did in India, Tharoor asserts that it was for their own benefit and never for that of the Indian. This is a timely book, for, in the era when bold claims are being made about Britain's Global aspirations, the need for temper British imperial nostalgia with postcolonial responsibility has never been greater.
Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's views on decolonising mind:-
Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's famous work of postcolonial theory, entitled decolonizing the mind. Ngugi focuses principally on the role of the English language, English Literature and colonial education of denigrating, eroding and criminalizing indigenous culture as a way of reformulating how colonized people saw themselves and their relationship with the world🌎 around them. Africa is still living was obviously economic and political despite the claims of Bible wielding diplomats but it was an also cultural. African countries as colonies came to be defined and to define themselves in terms of the language of Europe English speaking, French-speaking, or Portuguese speaking, African countries. Ngugi argues that British 🇬🇧 education and the enforcement of the English language compromised his own culture. Ngugi advocates the reclamation of African culture and the excision of culture and the English language - though he understands that one can never go back the before the colonial encounter, he argues that the only way Africans once again take pride in Africa and culture by teaching it and making Europeans or westerners acknowledge the validity, legitimacy and the importance of African language and culture.
