The “$45 trillion stolen by Britain” is a meme number made up by Indian nationalist economist Utsa Patnaik.

jeets use it as proof of their eternal victimhood, but i'ts a meme. India didn’t even have 45 trillion to steal, and the calculation isn’t about actual money it’s a speculative estimate of “economic damage,” which includes imaginary growth India “would have had” without British rule. In other words: Britain is accused of stealing money that never existed.

The argument rests on the largely agricultural India’s share of world GDP dropping from ~20% to ~6% which happened while Europe industrialized and global economic weight shifted. While we did do economic damage, its no where fucking near 45 trillion.

The number is just jeets being jeets and straight up fucking lying.

The real number that we actually took and benefited from was about 300 to 400 billion(and thats before you deduct the amount we re-invested in india for things like railways). It is still a lot, dont get me wrong. But the "muh 45 gorillion" is literally impossible.

Genuinely wasted money for wasteful people. Australia is an Anglo ethnostate and it has produced zero contributions all while losing in military conflict against LITERAL birds.

in net terms? nothing, probably. if anything they ended up accelerating its economic growth overall.

>2 billion destitute subhumans

in isolation, there would have been no industrial revolution in india. industrialization came by way of british colonization.

is that 300-400b adjusted for inflation

>>215320878
yes, 300 - 400 billion in todays USD net profit.

I read somewhere that the empire's projected expenditures went up 2 pounds for every 1 pounds it was projected to make towards the very end. But im not sure how true this is i didnt do that deep a dive into it.

But the colonies lack of profitability was one of the main reasons we decolonised.

we did that

Any texts/sources about this? I want to read more for myself.
>t. history autist

It's more like 450 trillion, obviously

>>215321836
Sadly Utsa Patnaik never published an actual economic report (odd, that), But the claim was popularised by journalists and other writers.
She gave a bunch of interviews though that you can look for. I forgot to mention but shes also a Marxist communist so take her estimations with a grain of salt because communists dont understand economics.

There are plenty of economic reports about the British empire though if you look for them. But be careful, some of them, especially the historical ones, are partly made up and contain number-fudging.
Also be careful of modern anglophile sources that claim "we wuz good guys and colonialism was akshually good" because thats also not true (soruces like Niall Ferguson).

This being a particularly hot-button topic theres a bunch of propaganda on both sides so be careful if you're going to go diving into this because half of what you read is bullshit revisionism.
