- Shashi Tharoor was born in 1956 in London and educated in Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi (BA in History, St. Stephen’s College), and the United States. He holds a Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
Once upon a time when, Britishers ruled over India for so many years. After a lots of struggle we get independence. There were thousands debates going on still now on colonial and post colonial idea.
***Shashi Tharoor presented all his view on British Empire and India and how they do loot in India.
Economic situation of the colonies were worst by the experience of british colonialism. They started exporting raw materials from India and shipping back manufactured cloth and the result was, the weavers in India become beggars.
Shashi Tharoor make a satire by giving this sentence, "The sun never sets of the British Empire because, even God couldn't trust the English in the dark".African and Caribbean people's, psychological damage happen that has been done by British colonisers. Even today many of problems in these countries, like racial and religious tension were the effect of colonialism.

Movie Review : The Great Dictator
The Great Dictator
The Great Dictator is a 1940 American political satire comedy Drama film written and starring by Charlie Chaplin. We know that Charlie Chaplin most of the films are silent films. In to the period of sound films, this was Chaplin's first true sound film.
Charlie Chaplin played double roll in this movie. One of them is great dictator like Hitler and anther is Jewish barber. How Hitler ruled on Jew people and Mack fear towards people.
So the movie is very helpful to understand 20th century.

The leader face many problems and difficulties .In the movie bhuvan accept the challenge of cricket. But the other people not understand his ambition and condition. They try to prove Ans play the game which unknown by villagers. After playing game than people understand his motive end people play with him.
Language :- In the movie language is important thing English consider as high class language because it's only used by Britishers.
Villagers can't know English language that's why Elizabeth confess his love proposal but Bhuvan can't understand his feeling.
Oneness of religion :- Movie shows oneness of religion .In the village there are many religion people like Muslim, shikh and Hindu.
