Abstract
This research paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic transformations in colonial India, focusing on British policies and indigenous responses. Through a historical lens, the paper examines the impact of colonial economic policies on various aspects of Indian society, including industrial development, standard of living, and indigenous industries. Drawing on a range of qualitative and quantitative sources, the paper highlights the complex dynamics of colonial exploitation and resistance, shedding light on the socio-economic disparities inherited from colonial rule. Additionally, the paper offers insights into the long-term implications of colonial legacies for contemporary India and identifies avenues for future research. By critically examining the historical roots of economic exploitation and socio-economic deprivation, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the enduring legacies of colonialism in modern societies.
