This excerpt, from The Discovery of India by Jawaharlal Nehru, explains how India became a "typical" colonial economy.
This process continued throughout the nineteenth century. Other old Indian industries- shipbuilding, metalwork, glass, paper-and many crafts were broken up. Thus the economic development of India was stopped and the growth of new industry was prevented.... A typical colonial economy was built up.
India became an agricultural colony of industrial England. It supplied raw materials and provided markets for England's industrial goods. The destruction of industry led to unemployment on a vast scale.... The poverty of the country grew. The standard of living fell to terribly low levels.
What negative effects of imperialism does Nehru point out?

Nehru points out that because of imperialism, India's economy becomes a colonial economy. India's old industries such as shipbuilding, metalwork, and many other crafts were stopped in order to create an agricultural colony. This agricultural colony was a negative effect because it was made just to supply their mother country (England) with raw materials.
The negative effects of imperalism that Nehru points out are that the old indian industies were eventually broken up, and the economic development of India was stopped and the growth of a new industry was brought in. India began supplying England with raw materials and industrial goods. The employment rates increased and the standard of living fell.
the development of the country was stoped to help the growth of another country

Negative efects were produced throughtout the nineteenth century due to Englands imperialism. India was imperialised by England and negative effects were produced like the dustruction of industry which led to unemployment of the indian people. Poverty grew thoughtout the indian country.
