Study Reveals UK's Wealth Extraction from India: $33.8 Trillion to Richest 10%

A new study highlights that the UK's wealth extraction from India during colonialism amounted to an astonishing $33.8 trillion, primarily benefiting the richest 10%. This figure is part of a broader estimate of $64.82 trillion siphoned off between 1765 and 1900. The research underscores the exploitative mechanisms employed by the British Empire, which left lasting economic scars on India. The findings challenge historical narratives about colonialism's economic impact on Britain, emphasizing the profound injustice faced by Indian society during this period.
