Shashi Tharoor Launches Show on British Colonialism's Impact

Shashi Tharoor has started a new show called Imperial Receipts, looking at how Britain's rule affected India.

Before the British came, India was very rich, making up about a quarter of the world's money.

But by the time the British left, India was much poorer.

While Britain's economy grew, India's shrank.

The show talks about how Britain took India's wealth and hurt its industries, like textiles and shipbuilding.

Tharoor argues that Britain should apologize for the damage caused.
