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?
