The British rulers passed a law that allowed an Indian to be sent to prison without being tried in a court. The goods produced in England had been excluded from custom duty. Upon the profits of the corporation the officers prospered, and their private business flourished. They imposed heavy taxes on Indians farmers and reduced import duty on goods manufactured in England and imported to India. Even they cut the thumbs of expert artisans.
