•°☆Answer:-°•☆

_________

Drain of wealth means that economic policies of the British in India were primarily motivated to snatch maximum benefits from India’s trade. India’s foreign trade generated large export surplus. This export surplus did not result in any flow of gold or silver into India. There was drain of India’s wealth into Britain.

It is clear from the following facts :-

• The surplus was used to make payments for the expenses incurred by the office set up by the colonial government in Britain.

• The surplus was used to pay expenses on war fought by the British government.

• Surplus was used to pay for the import of invisible items.

Dadabhai Naoroji propounded the theory of 'Drain of Wealth' in the 19th century. The colonial period was characterized by the exploitation of Indian resources. ... Thus, the British rule drained out Indian wealth for the fulfillment of its own interests.Dadabhai Naoroji's work focused on the drain of wealth from India to England during colonial rule of British in India. One of the reasons that the Drain theory is attributed to Naoroji is his decision to estimate the net national profit of India, and by extension, the effect that colonisation has on the country.
