India's GDP of the world's wealth before the interference of the British was around 30%. All of Western Europe's GDP combined was around 22%. India was well known as the richest country in the world up about until the late 19th century when Britain started to drain India's wealth for its own use. The British completely destroyed the hard earned economy of India only to now have it become a developing nation while Britain is completely developed due to India's wealth. The British said that they came to modernize India, which in fact is very false. They came to loot and plunder the vast wealth of India for its own selfish benefit while causing devastating famines in the 1890s. When the British left, then India's GDP if the world was only 3%. So, from 1857-1947, 30%----3%, do you think Britain came to help the Indians? Or did they come steal all of its riches? It is proven that the states of India under British control for a longer period of time are poorer. Now you decide how the British transformed India's economy.
