Who is the author of the book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule'? Correct Answer Dadabhai Naoroji

The book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule' was written by Dadabhai Naoroji to explain a theory as to how British drained India's wealth. The book was written and published in the year 1901.

Key Points

Dadabhai Naoroji​ describes 6 factors that were causing the draining of wealth.

  • The government ruling in India was not its own, it was foreign.
  • There was no immigration to India, which would have been an influx of wealth to the country.
  • Britain was not paying for the East India Company's operation or the Indian army of that time.
  • India was the one paying. Bearing the burden of empire building in and out the borders of the country was borne by India, and not Britain.
  • Foreign people were given priority for jobs over Indians who were equally qualified to hold the position.
  • Wealth left India when the earners spend money outside of India rather than within the country. 

Hence, the correct answer is Dadabhai Naoroji
