The plunder of India & its impoverishment by British colonizers was
no boon to Indians, Muslim or non-muslim.
/* End of text from uiucdcs:net.nlang.india */

Changing the topic, has it ever been established that the British plundered
India?  Does anybody have figures representing the rate of growth in India
for a substantial period before the British arrived in India, and the rate
of growth during the British rule?  If the British did plunder India, what
did they plunder and howmuch?

I have'nt seen a detailed study of these issues, but what I have seen
suggests that India progressed faster during the British rule than before it.
