Is he suggesting that he and his party, the Indian National Congress, embody this imagined "Macaulay's 200-year legacy of 'slave mentality', that needs to now be shed for a 'post-colonial mindset'? Rather than challenging, it is clear that Mr Tharoor is keen to embrace illiberal
Attended PM @narendramodiโs #RamnathGoenkaLecture at the invitation of @IndianExpress last night. He spoke of India's "constructive impatience" for development and strongly pushed for a post-colonial mindset. The PM emphasized that India is no longer just an 'emerging market'
