In 1700, India was one of the largest economies in the world — producing nearly 23% of global economic output.
Its textiles were exported across continents. Bengal was among the richest regions globally. The Mughal Empire governed a vast and economically active state deeply connected to international trade networks.
So how did India transition from one of the world’s leading economies to British colonial rule within 150 years?
In this episode of Evolution Stories of India, we explore:
• India’s economy around 1700
• The wealth of the Mughal Empire
• The arrival of the British East India Company in 1600
• The Battle of Plassey (1757)
• The “drain of wealth” debate
• The shift from trade to rule
• The beginning of the British Raj in 1858
This documentary examines how power gradually shifted from Indian rulers to the British Crown — and how economic transformation shaped modern India.
