Shashi Tharoor’s remarkable speech

Congress MP Mr Shashi Tharoor left everyone mesmerized by his excellent oratorical skills at the Oxford Union Society on 21 July.

Speaking for the motion on “This house believes Britain owes reparations to her former colonies”, it was one of the most eloquent things on internet this year. It talked of how rich our country is in terms of heritage and culture and how colonialism did more harm than good to our ‘golden-bird’.

Full of quotes that will be oft-repeated and will be remembered for generations, truer words were never said.
