How Britain Stole $45 Trillion from Pakistan, Bangladesh & India with Trains

[Mad Scientist 2.0]

A figure plucked out from air with no explanation whatsoever.

Does India even have $45 trillion worth of wealth at that time?

Indian subcontinent was the hub of economics s at that time and was considered an economic powerhouse. After British came they systematically dismantled the home grown industry while promoting their own country at the expense of Indian traders and industrialists . They transferred the raw materials at bare minimum price while selling their goods at a premium price.One example is the apparel industry. It was famous worldwide but the Britishers systematically destroyed it by making the raw materials' price sky high so that normal native traders can't buy also they levied huge taxes on the goods they export as a result it became way expensive in comparison to the British products. Unlike other invaders who conquered but the system remained unchanged Britsihers overhauled the system in a pretty negative way.

is it like a country or a geographical term?

Do you have any scientific evidences for that claim, because I have seen similar claims from SS Africa.

China did census and statistics with scientific methods countrywide for various subjects (population, quantity of rices produced every year, quantity of gold stocked in government storage, etc.) since perhaps before Qin Shi huangdi (200 BC), and they recorded statistics data very well in their books, which are still available today, so scientists can estimate relatively correct GDP data for 2000 years or 500 years ago.

Aside from China, no country did that, including Europe, until around 17 - 18 century.

India might be rich in the past in the sense that it had a lot of gold, but certainly no one can confirm and compare. European conquerors saying that "oh India was so rich" does not automatically mean India was actually rich. The same that European colonizers claiming Saigon was "The Pearl of the Far East", which delusional Southern Vietnamese still echoing today, but it was actually a city full of slums, dirty and relatively poor compared to even Khabarovsk (Russian Far East) or Nanning (a Chinese backward city in Quangxi province), Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, let alone Tokyo, Shanghai or Singapore at that time.

If India was so poor then they would not have risked everything just to come to India renaming parts of the world as India thinking they reach India.

Have you seen anyone dying to reach China and renaming part of the world as China due to the sheer attraction of wealth.

Indian subcontinent was the hub of economics s at that time

more like a hub of death and destruction with sikhs running rampant everywhere.

If India was so poor then they would not have risked everything just to come to India

risked what? 3 thousand banyas and explorers who overcame 50k bong elite troops without much fighting? them soldiers who were sent to expel them what did they end up doing? instead of sticking with the gau-powered superpower, they help create a new fairer and more just one

LOL, I guess Indians back then still count cow dump as wealth.

India today only has a GDP of $2.5 trillion and a total asserts not far beyond that, and that's including cow-dump "income" and mud hut rents and other voodoo economics.

 

[Successwill]

oh no its not $45 trillion, its 45 decillion rupee

 

[Desi_Guy]

Fake news from India. Just like scammer Google CEO Sundar Pichai

I am certain, this figure is in today's money.
If you look at it realistically.

If you look in to the world economy now. And look at a country which controls 25% of that world economy, how much was it would be worth!!

Turn that in to that era , India holding 25% of world economy/wealth, that would be in hundreds of trillions in today's money.

That $45 trillion figure is not out of realm of possibility in today's money.

 

[Secularindian]

45 Trillion might be exaggerated but once India was one of the richest place on earth contributed large portion of world GDP . Britain rip it off

This not exaggerated its adjusted figure

india was sone ki chiriya i mean golden bird .

Bhai Jaan, what he is rightfully questioning is, what India?
There was never a country called India before 1947, it's a modern creation.

There were various kingdoms just like Europe and other parts of the world.
There was a Mughal empire.
There was a British empire.

India as a historical entity is a fantasy created in modern, present-day mindset.

So yes, India?

If it wasn't for Britain, there would be no India, defo.

Indian had never been a single country, until British got hold of different independent states one by one and then give it to hindutva goons as one country to terrorise its neighbours.

 

[letsrock]

Alright let indian govt officially make a demand then. INdian govt owes itself to british.

 

[Kabira]

Of course they sucked blood of natives. Imagine all of revenues of south asia going to 1 state of similar size to UK of lets say Bihar. For 300 years!

Bihar would be richest state by country mile. Now add many other colonies all around the world.

The only thing that Britain did right.
