Hi,

Your answer :
British colonization destroys Indian society

From trade to plunder

Globalization, presented to us as the great novelty of our time, is nothing new to India: from the end of the 15th century, the riches of this far-off country have been the goal of many adventures of the merchant bourgeoisie that had developed in Europe.

At the time when Vasco de Gama reached the Indian west coast in 1498, India was far from being a country folded in on itself. Trade was intense and in some areas, such as Gujarat, a northwestern coastal state, artisanal tissue production popular throughout the Orient was flourishing. The merchant caravans of the Mughal Empire, a Muslim dynasty that ruled India at that time, went as far as Indonesia and China to the East, and to Persia to the West.

With the discoverers came the Western merchants: the Portuguese set up counters on the west coast, soon followed by Holland, Great Britain and France. The latter, arriving last in the race, had to settle for a few counters, like Pondicherry or Chandernagor.

The Europeans evicted Indian merchants from overseas shipping, developing a partnership only with the most important of them, who served as intermediaries.

The conquest of territories took place little by little. Great Britain imposed itself quickly: from the eighteenth century, it reigned supreme over all of southern India.

For several decades, especially those of the late eighteenth century, the East India Company made fortunes in the Indian trade, especially spices, cotton and silks. It imposed its monopoly by force and the trade was quickly transformed into looting pure and simple. The Company obliged the peasants and weavers to sell all their produce to it, at the price it fixed. It crushed the tax villages, which were going to swell the fortune of its shareholders.

The direct result of this looting, famine raged in 1770 in Bengal, yet one of the richest states of India, where artisanal production was developed: ten million people were killed ... But the Company, who had continued to collect the property tax during the famine and had even increased it, was able to congratulate himself on seeing his net receipts increase.

This period is the first phase of what might be called the development of underdevelopment in India.

Good bye ;)
