Give two proofs to show that the British followed the policy of economic exploitation.
Answer
The economic system of India was adjusted to the needs of the people of England. Two proofs to show that the British followed the policy of economic exploitation are:
- India was made a supplier of raw materials to British industries and a market for their goods, which ruined Indian handicrafts and industries.
- The British drained India's wealth by imposing heavy taxes and using Indian revenue for their own administrative and military purposes.
