UK museums chor bazaars of exhibits from colonies: Tharoor
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has called British museums "chor bazaars" (thieves' markets) of exhibits looted from its colonies. However, when asked about reparations, he said, "History has moved on...How do you quantify the deaths of 35 million people from famines, the generations lost to indentured labour and colonial loot?" He said Britain must acknowledge the evil legacy of its colonialism.
