During their 200-year rule over India, the British looted ₹3,375 lac crores.
The British Empire was once the biggest empire in history.
It ruled over one-quarter of the world's population across countries like Australia and India.
It's no surprise to hear that the "sun never sets on the British Empire".
India was a turning point in Britisher's growth.
India’s vast natural resources, labor, and agrarian economy helped the UK industrialize its empire.
The amount looted is greater than the GDP of the last 13 years of the UK combined. And 14 years' worth of India's GDP!
The British looted India cleverly, making it look like they were doing India a favor.
Most of India's natural resources were exported to the UK.
The payment for these exports was made in India with the tax money collected from Indians.
The same raw materials and natural resources were used to produce finished goods in the UK.
And these goods were exported back to India and sold to Indians. And money earned from sales was transferred back to the UK.
Britain exploited India's people, wealth, and resources to fund the growth of the United Kingdom.
Is colonialism really over? Or is it just dressed up in a new form of IPOs and valuation?
