Description
Poverty of India: Papers and Statistics is a comprehensive compilation of Dadabhai Naoroji’s influential writings and data analysis on India’s economic situation during the colonial period. Naoroji, a pioneering Indian economist and social reformer, presents meticulous statistical evidence documenting the extent of poverty and economic exploitation in India under British rule.
The work serves as both a historical document and an economic analysis, offering detailed papers that examine India’s drain of wealth, agricultural conditions, and living standards of the Indian population. Through rigorous data presentation and logical argumentation, Naoroji challenges contemporary assumptions about colonial development and demonstrates India’s progressive impoverishment.
This publication remains essential for understanding 19th-century Indian economic history, colonial economics, and the intellectual foundations of Indian nationalist thought. Scholars, historians, and economists continue to reference this work for its pioneering statistical methodology and substantive critique of colonial economic policies.
