Solution
India was economically subjugated and transformed into a supplier of raw materials. It became a market to dump English manufacturers and for the investment of British Capital. So the colonial economy was a continuous transfer of resources from India to Britain without any favorable returns back to India. This is referred as “the drain of wealth”.
