British Rule In India

British Rule in India: Financially and Economically Considered is a book written by Robert Brown in 1885. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the financial and economic policies of the British government during their rule in India. Brown delves into the various aspects of the British administration, including taxation, public works, and trade, to assess their impact on the Indian economy. The author argues that the British government's policies were primarily focused on exploiting the resources of India for their own benefit, with little regard for the welfare of the Indian population. Brown highlights the negative consequences of British rule, including the impoverishment of Indian farmers, the depletion of natural resources, and the widening of the wealth gap between the British rulers and the Indian people.The book also examines the impact of British policies on Indian industries, such as textiles and agriculture, and how they contributed to the decline of these sectors. Brown also discusses the role of the British in the development of modern infrastructure in India, such as railways and telegraphs, and how these projects were primarily geared towards serving British interests rather than the needs of the Indian people.Overall, British Rule in India: Financially and Economically Considered is a critical analysis of the economic impact of British rule in India. It provides valuable insights into the exploitative nature of colonialism and its long-lasting effects on the Indian economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
