In which year the book 'Poverty and Unbritish Rule in India' was published ?
Explanation
The book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule in India' was written by Dadabhai Naoroji and published in 1901. Naoroji, known as the 'Grand Old Man of India', used this work to propound his famous 'Drain of Wealth' theory. He argued that Britain was systematically siphoning off India's resources and wealth to England, which was the root cause of India's extreme poverty and frequent famines. The book provided a detailed statistical analysis of the Indian economy and criticized British policies as being 'un-British' because they did not align with the liberal and fair principles supposedly upheld in Britain. This work was foundational for the early Indian nationalist movement, shifting the focus toward the economic exploitation of the subcontinent.
