An Era of Darkness presents a strong critique of the British Empire’s rule over India. Shashi Tharoor uses historical evidence, statistics, and arguments to show how colonial policies affected India’s economy, society, and development.
The book focuses on the idea that British rule was not a “gift of modern civilization,” but rather a system designed to benefit Britain at the expense of India. It discusses how India, which was once a wealthy and advanced civilization, became impoverished under colonial policies.
