Why India Became Poor Under British Rule | Dadabhai Naoroji | Audio Drive (Audio book)

Описание: Why did India become poor under British rule?
This video presents a clear and engaging summary of Poverty and Un-British Rule in India by Dadabhai Naoroji, first published in 1901. Instead of anger or slogans, Naoroji used facts, statistics, and economic logic to expose how British colonial policies systematically drained India’s wealth.
At the heart of the book is the famous Drain Theory, which explains how Indian resources were transferred to Britain through salaries, pensions, profits, taxation, and administrative expenses—without being reinvested in India. The book also exposes flawed colonial statistics, heavy taxation even during famines, destruction of Indian industries, and the exclusion of Indians from political power.
In this Audio Drive narration, the ideas of the book are presented in a calm, story-driven format, making complex economic concepts easy to understand. This work laid the foundation for India’s economic nationalism and influenced the freedom movement in profound ways.
If you’re interested in Indian history, colonial economics, or untold stories that shaped the modern world, this audio documentary is for you.
