Ideas:Before free speech, there has to be free thought.Dominant groups try to control both thought and speech in a society. Thought is co trolled by propaganda and speech by censorship. In democracies, there is more thought control than speech control. When thought control becomes difficult, even democracies resort to speech control. If thought can be totally controlled, there is no reason to control speech.

Book summary/powerful ideas:(Warning:Long post) Sathnam Sanghera's book Empireworld, begins with a tour de force of “Spot the colonial inheritance” in New Delhi. Here, everything from language and sport to the diamonds, tobacco and booze in duty-free reveal that the current Indian government’s attempt to cleanse the country of imperial influence would be — as Sanghera puts it — like getting the ghee out of his beloved breakfast masala omelette. The legacy of empire is baked deep into many cultures. The point is not to blame or deny, nor is it to fixate on past grievances or embrace selective amnesia; it is instead to understand the complex, contradictory and enduring ways this made the modern world. In Barbados, Sanghera shows how the island was stripped of its indigenous people, who had lived there for 2,500 years — part of a total native Caribbean population that numbered some 3mn in 1700 and had fallen to 30,000 by 2000. Meanwhile, the island’s countryside was reshaped into identikit sugar plantations, characterised by a harrowing plantation economy where African slaves were gibbeted, raped, castrated, branded, dismembered and imprisoned. This historical “reservoir of pain” has led the Caricom Caribbean countries to seek $33tn from European nations, $19.6tn from Britain alone. Sanghera uncovers the remarkable social engineering behind the history of imperial botany. The pursuit and transplantation of sugar, quinine (to limit malaria), rubber, tea, timber, rice and even the humble fern literally reshaped the globe, degrading St Helena’s environmental habitat, causing widespread deforestation across Africa and the Caribbean, creating landslides in Sri Lanka’s tea plantations, and occasioning innumerable massacres and imprisonments after indigenous attempts to resist.
