Description
This scholarly work by Roper Lethbridge provides a comprehensive analysis of the Swadeshi movement and its intricate connection to British fiscal policies in colonial India. The book examines how economic nationalism emerged as a response to exploitative British taxation and trade practices.
Lethbridge delves into the mechanisms through which British fiscal policies impacted Indian economy and society, and how the Swadeshi movement—emphasizing indigenous production and self-reliance—became a powerful tool of resistance. The author traces the economic arguments underlying the independence struggle and the role of indigenous industries in challenging colonial economic dominance.
Through detailed historical analysis, the book illustrates how economic grievances fueled nationalist sentiment and how the promotion of indigenous goods became intertwined with the broader independence movement. This work is essential for understanding the economic dimensions of India’s struggle for freedom.
