3 quotes from Inglorious Empire

  • "The British Empire was built on a foundation of exploitation, and the impact of this exploitation has lasted long after the empire's formal end."
  • "The British did not merely take our wealth; they also scoured the treasury of Indian culture, destroying and denigrating what they could not appropriate."
  • "It is a testament to the resilience of India's spirit that despite centuries of subjugation, we have emerged with our identity intact and a hunger for justice and acknowledgment."
