Welcome to Civils Simplified with Priyanshi.
In this session, we analyze the economic transformation of India from an industrial powerhouse to an "Agricultural Colony" of Britain. We will explore the "One-Way Free Trade" policy and the critiques offered by nationalist leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji and R.C. Dutt. This is an essential topic for UPSC Mains (GS Paper 1) and History Optional.
