Abstract

“The Government which attacks its own innocent subjects has no claim to be called a civilized government. Bear in mind, such a government does not survive long. I declare that the blows struck at me will be the last nails in the coffin of the British rule in India.” Britishers were like “I am nothing, but I must be everything” and the foolish Indians had allowed them to rule over and exploit them. So, the Researcher in this article has focused primarily on an assortment of discrimination faced by the Indian peoples during the colonial rule, which further led to the economic inequality. He firstly discussed about the Indian economy in the pre-colonial India, in various sectors like agricultural Sector, Industrial Sector, Foreign Trade, Demographic Condition, Occupational Structure and the Infrastructure. He then looked upon aspects like racism, discrimination faced by Indian citizens due to racism and how it promotes capitalism. Also he talked about the Marxist feminism, discrimination against women, economic inequality of women with men, how British imperialism worked, how British ruled India, economic inequality among the white and black and also how the British exploitation is responsible for the India’s poverty.
