– The Clive of India

  Robert Clive, who is credited with establishing the military power of the British Empire in India as well as the reason behind the various unspeakable atrocities committed by him on the locals, was given another credit by Shashi Tharoor. The inclusion of the word “loot”, in the English language as well as in their habits was the last, but not the least things he took from the country.   The Empire bestowed the title of “Clive of India” which was the front for his achievement of bringing the nation under the colonial power. The result of this was that the by the end of the 19th century, India became a “cash cow” for Britishers who just kept on milking the luxuries whenever they ran out of it. The conclusion- There was nothing left for her own children.
