Viewpoint: Britain must pay reparations to India
Indian economy
At the beginning of the 18th Century, India's share of the world economy was
23%, as large as all of Europe put together. By the time the British
departed India, it had dropped to less than 4%.
The reason was simple: India was governed for the benefit of Britain.
Britain's rise for 200 years was financed by its depredations in India.
By the end of the 19th Century, India was Britain's biggest cash-cow, the
world's biggest purchaser of British exports and the source of highly paid
employment for British civil servants - all at India's own expense. We
literally paid for our own oppression. | m******3
