    PROJECT SYNOSIS - HISTORY-II

    ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE BRITISH RULE IN INDIA

    A. Aim and Objectives;

     To study all aspect of British Economic policy in India,


     To study instances of discriminatory policies towards Indians,
     To study the wealth drain and Economic slowdown of Indians under the Raj.

    B. Introduction;

    The economic policies followed by the British led to the rapid transformation of India’s economy
    into a colonial economy whose nature and structure were determined by the needs of the British
    economy. In this respect the British conquest of India differed from all previous foreign
    conquests. he previous conquerors had overthrown Indian political powers, but had made no
    basic changes in the country’s economic structure; they had gradually become a part of Indian
    life, political as well as economic. The peasant, the artisan and the trader had continued to lead
    the same type of existence as before The basic economic pattern that of the self-sufficient rural
    economy, had been perpetuated. Change of rulers had merely meant change in the personnel of
    those who appropriated the peasant’s surplus. But the British conquerors were entirely different.
    They totally disrupted the traditional structure of the Indian economy. Moreover, they never
    became an integral part of Indian life. They always remained foreigners in the land, exploiting
    Indian resources and carrying away India’s wealth as tribute. The results of this subordination of
    the Indian economy to the interests of British trade and industry were many and varied.

    C. Research Methodology used;

    Research papers, Books and Online resources.

    D. Project Plan;

    The project would be divided into different areas of economic impact ;

    1) Disruption of the Traditional Economy


    2) Ruin of Artisans and Craftsmen
    3) Impoverishment of the Peasantry
    4) Ruin of Old Zamindars and Rise of New Landlordism
    5) Stagnation and Deterioration of Agriculture
    6) Development of Modern Industries
    7) Poverty and Famines.

    E. Conclusion

    The basic fact is that the same social, political and economic processes that produced industrial
    development and social and cultural progress in Britain also produced and then maintained
    economic underdevelopment and social and cultural backwardness in India.

    The reason for this is obvious. Britain subordinated the Indian economy to its own economy and
    determined the basic social trends in India according to her own needs.

    The result was stagnation of India’s agriculture and industries, exploitation of its peasants and
    workers by the zamindars, landlords, princes, moneylenders, merchants, capitalists and the
    foreign government and its officials, and the spread of poverty, disease and semi-starvation.
