Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule' was written by Dadabhai Naoroji to explain a theory as to how British drained India's wealth. The book was written and published in the year 1901.
Key Points
Dadabhai Naoroji describes 6 factors that were causing the draining of wealth.
- The government ruling in India was not its own, it was foreign.
- There was no immigration to India, which would have been an influx of wealth to the country.
- Britain was not paying for the East India Company's operation or the Indian army of that time.
- India was the one paying. Bearing the burden of empire building in and out the borders of the country was borne by India, and not Britain.
- Foreign people were given priority for jobs over Indians who were equally qualified to hold the position.
- Wealth left India when the earners spend money outside of India rather than within the country.
Hence, the correct answer is Dadabhai Naoroji
