Question

What were the real motives of the British behind the urbanization impetus in colonial India

Answer 1

The Indian economy under the British Rajdescribes the economy of India during the years of the British Raj, from 1858 to 1947. During this period, the Indian economy essentially remained stagnant, growing at the same rate (1.2%) as the population.[1] India experienced deindustrialization during this period.[2] Compared to the Mughal Era, India during the British colonial era had a lower per-capita income, a large decline in the secondary sector,[3] and lower levels of urbanisation.[4]

Economic impact of British imperialismEdit

The subject of the economic impact of British imperialism on India remains disputable. The issue was raised by British Whig politician Edmund Burke who in 1778 began a seven-year impeachment trial against Warren Hastings and the East India Company on charges including mismanagement of the Indian economy. Contemporary historian Rajat Kanta Ray argues the economy established by the British in the 18th century was a form of plunder and a catastrophe for the traditional economy of Mughal India, depleting food and money stocks and imposing high taxes that helped cause the famine of 1770, which killed a third of the people of Bengal.
