There is a misguided idea that India should be grateful for the democracy, law and trains that the British Empire brought to their country. But along with these ‘gifts’, Britain also stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule, which culminated in the biggest mass migration in human history during the Partition of India and Pakistan.
And those beloved trains? They became the sites of mass slaughter as violent clashes occurred when over four million people were uprooted from their homes and forced to trek to a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng reveals exactly why India shouldn’t be grateful for their trains.
A show about Europeans getting rich at the expense of everyone else. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng uncovers the ugly history of the European colonial empires they don’t teach us in schools.
Countries around the world were looted for their treasures, people were oppressed and exploited and European powers relentlessly profited. The far-reaching repercussions of colonialism are all around us, from our financial institutions to the food we have in.

It doesn’t represent the actual amount of transfer from India, nor is it the equivalent worth in today’s currency taking inflation into account. Instead it's a calculation at a 5% compound interest rate up to the year 2016 by a Marxist economist Utsa Patnaik, the $45 trillion was never taken as it never existed.

The 'drain' increased by almost $20 trillion in just FOUR years as calculated by the Marxist economist Utsa Patnaik. She estimated $45 trillion up to 2016 and then $64.82 trillion up to 2020 both at a 5% compound interest rate. The first estimate was for the years 1765-1938 the higher figure was only up to 1900 (1765-1900) with the nominal totals being £1.078 billion and £0.87 billion pounds respectively, before interest rates applied.

Productivity per worker in factories was about four times that of a worker in the handicraft industries in 1900, though the gap narrowed to two-and-a-half times towards the end of the period.

@andrewwilliams3137 Год назад

Changes were sure to happen at some point when India came in contact with the industrial revolution. For example it was cheaper for India to import iron & steel than make it itself. One of the biggest British exports to India alongside the railway engines was iron and steel, and due to production with economy of scale this was at prices the Indian market could not match. Here lies an example of 'deindustrialisation' in the C19th century. An extensive rural Indian smelting industry based on small scale charcoal pits became obsolete and was lost, but "the net effect of imported iron was not negative. It stimulated consumption and indirectly helped the blacksmith. In the nineteenth century, Indians consumed iron in greater quantity and variety than before". T. Roy

By the 1880's the British had invested £279 million in India, not much less than one fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached £400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten". Niall Ferguson. Empire.

"There were also marked improvements in public health, which increased Indian average life expectancy by eleven years [from 21 to 32 years]. It was the British who introduced quinine as an anti-malarial prophylactic, carried out public programmes of vaccination against smallpox - often in the face of local resistance - and laboured to improve the urban water supplies that were so often the bearers of cholera". Niall Ferguson. Empire.

Railways in independent princely states like cochin and travancore build by the erstwhile kings of these states. Most of these independent princely states had their own banks and these banks currently merged with State Bank of India. British took resources from British governed places only.

@andrewwilliams3137 2 года назад

"The colonial burden as measured by the trade surplus of the colony, . .amounted to little more than 1 percent of Indian net domestic product a year between 1868 and 1930. "And on the other side of the balance sheet were the immense British investments in Indian infrastructure, irrigation and industry. By the 1880's the British had invested £279 million in India, not much less than one fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached £400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten. There were also marked improvements in public health, which increased Indian average life expectancy by eleven years [from 21 to 32 years]. It was the British who introduced quinine as an anti-malarial prophylactic, carried out public programmes of vaccination against smallpox - often in the face of local resistance - and laboured to improve the urban water supplies that were so often the bearers of cholera".
