Question

Explain the historical reason for poverty?

Answer 1

India’s economic prosperity was based on the skills of its artisans and craftsmen, especially in the field of textiles, stone-carving and metal-smithy.

I guess a kind of smugness set in with the entrepreneurs, because it would take hundreds of years for others to catch up with the skill levels Indians had. They did not see the industrial revolution and steam power coming, which made these skills obsolete.

India’s feudal structure also meant that tillers were landless bonded labor, toiling generation after generation with no hope for release.

The artisans, the craftspeople, the tradespeople, and the tillers were all relegated to dalit castes and were denied access to education, to up-skilling.
