On September 1, RT will premiere the program “The Price of Empire”, hosted by Shashi Tharoor, head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of India’s Parliament.
The project addresses a complex and sensitive issue for India: how British colonialism transformed the country and how its consequences are still felt today.
In ten episodes, the well-known politician, diplomat, and writer explores his nation’s past and debunks entrenched myths about colonialism.
Shashi Tharoor reveals the true history of British rule in India: looting, suppression, and the destruction of the centuries-old culture and economy of a great nation—turning one of the world’s oldest and most distinctive civilizations into a source of resources and cheap labor.
Episodes of “The Price of Empire” will air weekly from September 1 at 16:30 Moscow time (19:00 in India).
