British people are proud of their country's role in colonialism and the British Empire. "44 per cent were proud of Britain's history of colonialism while only 21 per cent regretted that it happened" (Text 3 / 17-18), says YouGov.
As it looks like, most people are proud, where fewer people have the opposite attitude.
However, but if the British Government introduced several reforms, policies, developments, what about the empire's early role in the slave trade?
Because of it, it has caused millions of famine deaths in British India; "35 million people who died in famines" (video / 1.25-1.27), says Shashi Tharoor. Moreover, in 1919 imperial troops also killed nearly 400 innocent Indians.
"So yes, I thing apology would help" (video / 1.36:1.37)", says Shashi Tharoor. Use humans as dogs is awful.
British prime minister Tony Blair says that it is a crime against humanity and has apologized for the empire's early role in the slave trade.
Unlike Tony Blair, British Prime Minister Cameron refuses to apologize to Indians because he knows the British empire did the right thing.
