Depredations and an era of darkness

Shashi Tharoor's passionate speech at the Oxford Union last year went viral on social media such as YouTube and Facebook. His new book An Era of Darkness deals with the depredations of the British, while they ruled on India, in more detail.  

An act or instance of plundering or robbery is referred to as depredation. 

And 'depredation' is our SVC Word-of-the-Week.
