It improved India’s economy, but made many people too lazy to do their own homework

SEE THE BRITISH DIDNT GO TO INDIA TO SAVE THE “POOR INDIANS” RIGHT?
THEY WANTED AND DID MAKE PROFIT BY ALL MEANS…
THEY SUPPORTED EVERYTHING THAT INCREASED THEIR PROFIT AND SUPPRESSED WHAT REDUCED THEIR PROFIT.
AFTER GAINING POWER OVER INDIA THEY MORE THAN DOUBLED THE TAXES. FARMERS HAD TO GIVE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR CROPS. THE WEALTH OF EVERY KINGDOM (GOLD; PRECIOUS STONES ETC) THEY TOOK OVER WAS SHIPED TO ENGLAND.

I HAVE HEARD OF MUSLIN WEAVERS IN INDIA WHO GOT THEIR THUMBS CUT BY BRITISH TO GET RID OF COMPETITIONS.

BEFORE THE COLONIAL ERA INDIA WAS A ECONOMIC POWER (BETWEEN 25-30% OF WORLD GDP) AFETR THE BRITISH LEFT IT WAS MERELY 3% OF THE WORLD GDP!
POVERTY OVER 52%, NOW INDIA HAS MANAGED TO BRING IT DOWN TO 23%..
NOT TO FORGET THE CRIMES LIKE: THE FAMINES DUE TO MISSMANAGEMENT, JALIANWALA BAHG MASSACRE ETC.
