“We literally paid for our own oppression.”
― Shashi Tharoor, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India

“By the end of the nineteenth century, India was Britain’s biggest source of revenue, the world’s biggest purchaser of British exports and the source of highly paid employment for British civil servants and soldiers all at India’s own expense. We literally paid for our own oppression.”
― Shashi Tharoor, An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India
