   Britain finally discovers how the Raj hurt India   
      
   Unlike the Germans, Britons began to face the hard truths   
   about their colonial empire only recently, says Kanika Datta.

   It has taken a little under seven decades for British   
   academia, if not ordinary Britons, to acknowledge the   
   deleterious nature of their 200-odd year rule of the   
   Indian sub-continent.   
      
   The past two years has seen a raft of revisionist   
   histories from British writers that seek to highlight in   
   unequivocal terms the combination of outright violence   
   and chicanery that the British employed on their way to   
   dominating India.   
      
   These new writings constitute a comprehensive   
   contradiction of popular delusions -- held by some   
   Indians too -- that the British possessed some sort of   
   inherent racial greatness that enabled a small white   
   minority to dominate a populous sub-continent.
