So thematisiert er beispielsweise den w\u00e4hrend der Kolonialherrschaft von 27% auf 4% gefallen Anteil Indiens an der Weltwirtschaft, eine direkte Folge der umfassenden Auspl\u00fcnderung des Landes zum wirtschaftlichen Vorteil Gro\u00df-Britanniens.<\/p>\n<p>Des Weiteren beschreibt er die im Jahre 1943 in <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bengalen\">Bengalen<\/a> ausgebrochene Hungersnot als direktes Ergebnis britischer Milit\u00e4rpolitik. Premierminister Winston Churchill hatte damals Nahrungsmittelreserven zu den im Zweiten Weltkrieg k\u00e4mpfenden britischen Truppen nach Europa bringen lassen \u2013 in der Folge verhungerten sch\u00e4tzungsweise 4 Millionen bengalische Zivilist*innen.<\/p>\n<p>Am Ende der Rede steht eine unmisverst\u00e4ndliche Forderung: Gro\u00df-Britannien schuldet Indien, f\u00fcr die rund 200-j\u00e4hrige Ausbeutung, Reparationszahlungen.<\/p>\n<p>Ein weiterer, ausf\u00fchrlicherer Vortrag von Shashi Tharoor zur den strukturellen Folgen der britischen Kolonialherrschaft in Indien ist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d7TTKDHoxdk\">hier<\/a> zu finden.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian writer, diplomat and politician Dr Shashi Tharoor, in his address to the Oxford Union Society, names some of the effects of British colonial policy on the Indian people and economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[465,413],"tags":[394,405,396,493],"class_list":{"0":"post-8018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-talks","8":"category-videos-en","9":"tag-decolonization","10":"tag-historiography","11":"tag-postcolonialism","12":"tag-reparations"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",1920,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations-1024x576.jpg",919,517,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",1536,864,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",1920,1080,false],"bunyad-small":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",150,84,false],"bunyad-medium":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",450,253,false],"bunyad-full":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",1200,675,false],"bunyad-viewport":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",1920,1080,false],"bunyad-768":["https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/britain-does-owe-reparations.jpg",768,432,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"glokal e.V.","author_link":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/author\/glokal\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Indian writer, diplomat and politician Dr Shashi Tharoor, in his address to the Oxford Union Society, names some of the effects of British colonial policy on the Indian people and economy.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mangoes-and-bullets.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
