How Britain Stole $45 Trillion from India with Trains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- There is a misguided idea that India should be grateful for the democracy, law and trains that the British Empire brought to their country. But along with these ‘gifts’, Britain also stole $45 trillion from India during its long and oppressive rule, which culminated in the biggest mass migration in human history during the Partition of India and Pakistan.
And those beloved trains? They became the sites of mass slaughter as violent clashes occurred when over four million people were uprooted from their homes and forced to trek to a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng reveals exactly why India shouldn’t be grateful for their trains.
A show about Europeans getting rich at the expense of everyone else. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng uncovers the ugly history of the European colonial empires they don’t teach us in schools.
Countries around the world were looted for their treasures, people were oppressed and exploited and European powers relentlessly profited. The far-reaching repercussions of colonialism are all around us, from our financial institutions to the food we have in.

The $45 trillion is made up almost wholly of intrest rates of $44.998 trillion that's 99.9976% in interest rates. The 'drain' increased by almost $20 trillion in just FOUR years as calculated by the Marxist economist Utsa Patnaik. She estimated $45 trillion up to 2016 and then $64.82 trillion up to 2020 both at a 5% compound interest rate. The first estimate was for the years 1765-1938 the higher figure was only up to 1900 (1765-1900) with the nominal totals being £1.078 billion and £0.87 billion pounds respectively, before interest rates applied.

@@teja_surya " As profits in trade were reinvested, India led the developing world in two leading industries of the industrial revolution, cotton textiles and iron and steel. For example, in 1928, 48% of the cotton spindles outside Europe, North America and Japan were in India. (Dunn and Hardy 1931, 25.) In 1935, 50% of the steel produced outside Europe, North America and Japan came from India. (BKS 1950.) Source: Tirthankar Roy, Professor of Economic History, born and educated in India
@@teja_surya The world’s fourth-largest cotton textile mill industry emerged in Bombay and Ahmedabad in direct competition with Manchester. 'Between 1900 and 1930, the volume of handloom cloth production about doubled, even as the number of looms did not change. A substantial section of the handloom weaving industry in these years adapted successfully to serving urban consumers, especially, middle-class women consumers.
The second source was the factory industry. Productivity per worker in factories was about four times that of a worker in the handicraft industries in 1900, though the gap narrowed to two-and-a-half times towards the end of the period. A rise in the proportion of factory industrial employment, therefore, added to productivity gain on average. Employment in factories in British India increased from less than one per cent of industrial employment in 1860 to 11 per cent in 1938'.

How can somebody even say ...Atleast u have railways??
Really u mean feel a country has to get colonised to get railways..🥴
Btw it was build all by the money of Indian taxpayers 2-3 times more cost than it would have actually cost cause construction was in hand of private English companies....just to transport raw materials
So basically we paid for our own enslavement 👌👌👌
Changes were sure to happen at some point when India came in contact with the industrial revolution. For example it was cheaper for India to import iron & steel than make it itself. One of the biggest British exports to India alongside the railway engines was iron and steel, and due to production with economy of scale this was at prices the Indian market could not match. Here lies an example of 'deindustrialisation' in the C19th century. An extensive rural Indian smelting industry based on small scale charcoal pits became obsolete and was lost, but "the net effect of imported iron was not negative. It stimulated consumption and indirectly helped the blacksmith. In the nineteenth century, Indians consumed iron in greater quantity and variety than before". T. Roy

45 trillion / 0.03703 trillion = 1215.23. So $45 trillion is over one thousand two hundred times greater than the Indian GDP in 1960. There was never that much money in the Indian economy in the 200 years of British rule.
"The $45 trillion dollar figure is meaningless. It's a calculation at a 5% compound interest rate up to the year 2016.

It keeps increasing. . .By 2080 just 133 years after Indian independence Britain will have plundered $1.02 QUADRILLION dollars, that’s 10 to the power of 15".

"The colonial burden as measured by the trade surplus of the colony, . .amounted to little more than 1 percent of Indian net domestic product a year between 1868 and 1930". "And on the other side of the balance sheet were the immense British investments in Indian infrastructure, irrigation and industry. By the 1880's the British had invested £279 million in India, not much less than one fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached £400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten". Niall Ferguson. Empire.
"There were also marked improvements in public health, which increased Indian average life expectancy by eleven years [from 21 to 32 years]. It was the British who introduced quinine as an anti-malarial prophylactic, carried out public programmes of vaccination against smallpox - often in the face of local resistance - and laboured to improve the urban water supplies that were so often the bearers of cholera".

$45 trillion dollars is over one thousand times greater than the 1947 GDP of the UK. It's being misrepresented everywhere as being the “drain” of the Indian economy 1765-1938, but this is rubbish, there was never that much money in the Indian economy in total during the 200 years when the British were there. It doesn’t represent the actual amount of transfer from India, nor is it the equivalent worth in today’s currency taking inflation into account. Instead it's a calculation at a 5% compound interest rate up to the year 2016 by a Marxist economist Utsa Patnaik, the $45 trillion was never taken because it never even existed.

"Wealthy and influential Indians who supported the [East India] Company pooled money to set up colleges that taught students following western curricula. Without the Company rule, Bombay’s Elphinstone College and Calcutta’s Presidency College, two of India’s best institutions, would not exist". The University of Calcutta, the University of Madras, the University of Mumbai were all established in 1857. "By the time of independence in 1947, the port cities of India and Pakistan were home to some of the best schools, colleges, hospitals, universities, banks, insurance companies, and learned societies available outside the western world". Quotations from Tirthankar Roy, Professor of Economic History, born and educated in India.

The GDP ofIndia in 1800 was $1// billion while in 1950 it was $339 billion, ie, average $258 billion in today's prices at PPP. So, the aggregate GDP for 1950-1800=150 years was $258x150=$38,700 billion or $38.7 trillion. Since the entire GDP of the Subcontinent for the 150 years was less than the alleged $45 Trillion, it is unlikely that the British stole 45 out of 38.7 trillion USD.
All the figures cited above are at the current prices and, not the then prevalent prices. Thus, both the Nominal GDP and the GDP at PPP were much less than that, both, more so the Nominal GDP. For instance, the Nominal GDP of India in 1950 was barely $21 billion, not $337 billion.
Now, as regards the Aggregate GDP over the 150 years of British Rule @ $38.7 trillion, the Per Capita GDP was barely at the Subsistence Level.
So, out of the $38.7 trillion, most must have gone towards the subsistence by way of food, clothes, houses, healthcare, education etc.
Thus, how much was left by the populace to pay the taxes is anybody’s guess
Finally mainstream coverage

This is so absurd. From her stupid analogy, we also steal 999 trillions from today's farmers. But what is everyone doing? Nothing.
thanks a lot for making this video
India will be the next superpower as it was before, but we will never repeat the history of forgiving anyone who will think about harming us . As PrithviRaj Chauhan The great king forgave Mohomad Gaori for more than 15 times and then at last he back attacked him , but finally we are Indians , Prithvi Raj Chauhan killed him in his place without his eyes , his eyes were destroyed with hot rods 😭 but he killed gaori with the helps of his ears . We have so much great history which many Indians don't know , History always repeated we always had beed looted and then revived and than looted and then revived, We are from the land where no outsider can win from us in fight in anything but because of our owns we had suffered this , We will never repeat this mistake of trusting anyone now. From Prithvi Raj Chaihan to Indira Gandhi everyone was defeated with their own people except Maharana Pratap , Everyone you know Marathas, Mugals , Rani Laxmi bai , and we don't even know 😔but now onwards we will never going to repeat all this mistakes which we are doing from thousands of years .

You sound like you're 14 years old and just found out all this stuff but haven't quite figured out what nuance is yet
Did I miss the connection between the massacres and the British Empire, or was she really trying to say they were responsible for the religions killings because it happened on 'trains'.
Of course she was, it is very important to bend history so that everything is our fault. Lol, if we had sent troops to stop the violence we'd have been accused of nannying the colonials and treating them like children.

The word British should be replaced with the word Barbarian.
Fun fact- The word Barbarian is also looted from Hindi. Barbarian comes from Hindi word barbar which means evil.
History is attached should never be forgotten pursuing future betterment of india is the way forward by the Indian people now.
Wow, thats just absolutely disgusting what the british has done to India... And it seems like India is still picking up the broken pieces after sooooo many years of independence.
its just 70 years

You don't hear Anglo Saxons whinging and crying over what the Romans did to Britain, nor do you hear complaints about how the Vikings marauded, pillaged, plundered this Island either.
We don't live in the past. We can and should only remember it and reflect upon it, however we must not let the dark chapters of the past shape the worlds future nor should we allow it to shape the relationships between nations today.
People from Scandinavia are not pillaging and plundering the shores of England any more, much like Britain is not taking all of Indias wealth any more. If this island is so bad why are thousands of students from the Asian Sub continent and far east arriving annualy here to gain an 'education' ?? think about it right ? We're all educated smart people of the 21st century I implore you to quite simply, 'think' about it for a minute.
So glad that the international media is finally showing this truth!

Britishers didnot divided indian and Pakistan Gandhi did.. He want to make both Nehru and jinna happy..
Railways in independent princely states like cochin and travancore build by the erstwhile kings of these states. Most of these independent princely states had their own banks and these banks currently merged with State Bank of India. British took resources from British governed places only.
"The colonial burden as measured by the trade surplus of the colony, . .amounted to little more than 1 percent of Indian net domestic product a year between 1868 and 1930. "And on the other side of the balance sheet were the immense British investments in Indian infrastructure, irrigation and industry. By the 1880's the British had invested £279 million in India, not much less than one fifth of their entire investment overseas. By 1914 the figure had reached £400 million. The British increased the area of irrigated land by a factor of eight, so that by the end of the Raj a quarter of all land was irrigated, compared with just 5 per cent of it under the Mughals. They created an Indian coal industry from scratch which by 1914 produced nearly 16 million tons a year. They increased the number of jute spindles by a factor of ten. There were also marked improvements in public health, which increased Indian average life expectancy by eleven years [from 21 to 32 years]. It was the British who introduced quinine as an anti-malarial prophylactic, carried out public programmes of vaccination against smallpox - often in the face of local resistance - and laboured to improve the urban water supplies that were so often the bearers of cholera". Niall Ferguson. Empire.

And white domination
The GDP of India in 1960 was $37.03 billion (Data Source: World Bank) that's $0.03703 trillion.
45 trillion / 0.03703 trillion = 1215.23. So $45 trillion is over one thousand two hundred times greater than the Indian GDP in 1960. There was never that much money in the Indian economy in the 200 years of British rule.
"The $45 trillion dollar figure is meaningless. It's a calculation at a 5% compound interest rate up to the year 2016. It comes from Utsa Patnaik a Marxist economist, Using a different set of dates and sources she arrives at a figure this time up to 2020 of $64.82 trillion. It keeps increasing. . .By 2080 just 133 years after Indian independence Britain will have plundered $1.02 QUADRILLION dollars, that’s 10 to the power of 15".
So true
This video will be eyeopener for many people....
this will never gonna let them refund the stolen money
Even the queen of uk would have been poor without India. Nd her kohinoor is the biggest loot.
Dear Indians, Past is a past and I should be kept aside but not forget. It's like Father made a bad deal and lost the money. As a son & daughters of India, its our responsibility make our economy grow beyond 45 Trillion dollars in a right way and make our home (India) great again.
Economy can rise again but pain is they created lot that can’t be forgotten past or present or even in future
