I have a great interest for the subject of history and for this reason only I left my previous school, science or commerce stream and even my family(as they were all against my wish of studying History). I thank you for sharing your ideas on the given subject and I'm sure that this will be a valuable reference for my studies.

Please let me know as to whether this figure is correct or not. Thanks I read that total drain of wealth from India by British alone will amount to some trillions of dollars.

I was wondering whether it is legitimate for us to also consider another important factor - the productivity of human resources lost to the Raj. This happened in many forms - able young men sacrificing life and/or limb, or at the very least the most productive years of their lives in fruitless activities such as i. fighting for the British in World Wars 1 and 2. ii. starving to death due to British exploitation iii. fighting the British Raj (either violently or non-violently) instead of doing productive economic activities I also wonder if there has been any discussion of restitution from the UK to India. If yes, what was the outcome? Thank you once again for this wonderfully informative analysis. Regards, Nikhilesh Dear Mr. Shantanu,

It was very enlightening reading you paper on the Drain of Wealth during the British Raj. I was wondering whether it is legitimate for us to also consider another important factor – the productivity of human resources lost to the Raj. This happened in many forms – able young men sacrificing life and/or limb, or at the very least the most productive years of their lives in fruitless activities such as
i. fighting for the British in World Wars 1 and 2.
ii. starving to death due to British exploitation
iii. fighting the British Raj (either violently or non-violently) instead of doing productive economic activities

I also wonder if there has been any discussion of restitution from the UK to India. If yes, what was the outcome?

Thank you once again for this wonderfully informative analysis.
