The whole idea that colonial history needs to be swept under the rug is absurd. In fact it needs to be preserved, talked about and taught in a context of modern society. That’s how we stop the history from repeating itself.

One can read Kipling with one's eyes wide open (the more so for the eyebrows constantly raised) and find his views on race revolting, yet still have to admit that he was something of a genius.
