Imperial Receipts with Dr Shashi Tharoor | Episode 5: Gods

"Imperial Receipts with Dr Shashi Tharoor" is a new series that revisits the history and legacy of colonial rule. Dr Tharoor examines how the British did not simply govern India, but looted its wealth, dismantled its institutions, and reshaped its story. Episode 5: Gods explores how the British sought to catalogue and define religion in India, but what they captured often distorted lived reality. Their records reflected colonial frameworks more than the truth on the ground. Yet beyond these classifications lies a timeless reminder: it does not matter what religion one follows, so long as one is good. This series is produced in collaboration with @RT_India_news. New episodes of Imperial Receipts will be released on YouTube every Tuesday at 7PM.
