In his works, he often contests and critiques the impact of British colonial rule on India. Dr.ShashiTharoor has made in his non-fiction An Era of Darkness - The British Empire in India(SahityaAkademiAward 2019) which proves that for the nation, the British rule was an era of darkness and his other work - Inglorious Empire: What British did to India- tells the story of colonial exploitation of the Indian Sub-Continent from an eye of a colonised subject.
