“The British built railways not to make it convenient for Indians, but to carry away our wealth.” The premiere of the film “Looted India”, held at the Russian House, sparked a lively discussion in New Delhi. The documentary was produced by the Russian television company RT and was shown in Hindi with English subtitles.
The panel discussion after the screening was attended by the author of the film Artem Vorobyov, head of RT Documentary Ekaterina Yakovleva, senior adviser to the Russian Embassy Valery Khodzhaev, Indian political scientists Suvrokamal Dutta, Shashank Shekhar Sinha, Vinayak Kalletla, president of the BRICS international forum Purnima Anand, military historian Col Shailendra Singh. Indian-origin international law expert Jarath Chopra joined the discussion via video link from Canada.
The film sheds light on how Britain enslaved and plundered India and imposed alien values on the population. Much of the cultural heritage of Indian civilization was sent abroad, and much of what was exported is exhibited in the British Museum.
