      India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs.
      They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. See also Sullvan and Hickel’s (2022) online AJ English article ‘How British Colonialism Killed 100 million Indians in 40 Years’. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years.
      In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941.
      Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador Thomas Roe wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.

    France initially tried to colonise India and even had got good hold on Indian territory.
    But Britishers defeated them in Carnatic wars and restricted them to Pondicherry exclave and envlave of Yanam and Karaikal and Mahe in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala states of India. The region is currently a Union territory and people still speak French.
    France is also trying to sell weapons to India and sells technology also.

      They also got defeated by Marathas too in early 1750s. This was when the Nizam Salaabat Jang and his French official/general De Bussy fought a war with Peshwa Nanasaheb but they lost and were forced to come to terms with the Marathas.
      Later, after the defeat of French in 7 Years War(1756-63) in India and the subsequent dissolution of the French EIC in 1770. Many French were left unemployed. So many of these men(adventurers & ex-French politico-military officers) offered their services to Indian states. Many of them joined the service of Mahadji Shinde aka Shindeshahi Marathas and other Maratha states. De Boigne is the most prominent one among them. They along with other Westerners/Europeans of other nationalities, created and trained Maratha troops in Western aka European-style of warfare. But unfortunately, many of them also turned out to be traitors who defected to British EIC during the Anglo-Maratha War of 1802-06, after which the British EIC established their supremacy in India. This is what happened in case of Shinde Marathas and Bhosale Marathas. Rest is history.

      @@cheval63sg WRONG! France still has overseas territories in the Indo-Pacific - e.g. Reunion and French Polynesia so naval coordination with India in the Indian Ocean has been a key element of the strategic partnership especially as France is not part of the Anglophone AUKUS. Even in the 18th Century the French [during the 7 Years War] fought alongside the Nawab of Bengal against the Brits at Plassey [but Robert Clive had bribed General Mir Jafar] and Napoleon gave support to Indian rulers fighting the British.
      Modi was given a far more lavish reception in the US Congress with over a dozen standing ovations from Republicans and Democrats as the USA sees the partnership with India as the defining relationship of the 21st Century as India returns to its traditional status as one of the top two economies in the world.
      BTW- The British partition of India was largely the brainchild of British Military Intelligence and not of Jinnah. The Brits wanted to keep a pro-Western entity in the Indian Subcontinent in order to maintain naval bases to protect Suez and the sea lanes to the Far Eastern colonies. See Mark Curtis' online excerpt 'Partition: Keep a Part of India@ from his 2010 book 'Secret Affairs: Britain's Collusion with Radical Islam".

      @diogenetesla9046 French colonialism had some advantages but overall it was largely a net negative compared to British colonialism. France would have prevented any eduactional reforms in India, not allowed any language other than French(unless the people revolted rather than France giving up), neutered the Indian military, forced Indian banks to give preference to France and possibly prolong the existence of slavery as was the case with Cuba. Vietnam is the only French colony with better standard of life compared to the average British colony. The biggest relief for India would have been civil law.

    Amongst all colonizers of INDIA, Portugal should also be remembered who destroyed every single indigenous temple in the Indian state of Goa, build 100s of Churches, lured & force people to convert into Christianity, put taxes on Non-Christians, no land tax to newly converted Christians for 15 years & capture their land.

    Hey Palki, you should have Maratha Empire(1645-1950) and their relationship with the French(French India) too.
    There were lots of French officers and politico-military figures in Maratha armies of India in 18th century. And also in the armies of other Indian states too in 18th-19th century period. Like:- The French who served in Shinde Maratha army of Mahadji Shinde and his successor.
    Not just the French, there were lots of American and European officers of various nationalities in Maratha armies of the 18th and early 19th century.

While the USSR hinted at being sympathetic to India its successor Russia doesn't even try to pretend that it will ditch India to suit its own needs. Russia is an opportunistic country and cares only for itself, that's why it has been invading Europe.
