An Era of Darkness – The British Empire in India (E)

An Era of Darkness by Shashi Tharoor is a powerful and meticulously researched account of the devastating impact of British colonial rule on India. Tharoor exposes how the British systematically drained India’s wealth, destroyed its industries, and left behind a legacy of poverty and division. Blending history, politics, and moral argument, this book challenges glorified narratives of the Empire and restores the truth about one of the darkest chapters in Indian history.
