Economic Analysis

India was conquered by a private commercial company, the British Crown with all kinds of trade privileges which was provided by them. The territorial sovereignty and they also took over the powers of taxation. In many parts of the country they made ??the tax collector to owners, in turn, the property tax through a system of interim tenants, on the disenfranchised tenants rolled over. Century of industrialization, particularly in Britain took place in front of the textile industry. They even promoted it and increased the profits of East India Company served as a dual monopoly in India for the export of industrial raw materials and imported finished products. Indian textile manufacturers, by then the world leader in fine fabrics became expendable competitors. The result was a widespread de-industrialization and de-urbanization. The uprising of 1857 showed the limits of the business model of the company and their (UK) on their own working and people.
