Experience of British Colonialism
Indian Examples:
When Britain arrived on the Indian shores, India share of the world economy when Britain arrived was 23 per cent, by the time the British left it was down to below 4 per cent. Britain’s rise for 200 years was financed by it’s depredations in Indian.

Britain’s industrial revolution was actually premised upon the de-industrialization of India. The weavers in Indian became beggars. India went from being a world famous exporter of finished clothes into an importer, from having 27 per cent of the work trade to less than 2 per cent. Britain took the Hindi word loot into their dictionary as well as their habits.

By the end of the 19th century, the fact is that India was already British’s biggest cash cow. India literally paid for their own oppression. The worthy British Victorian families made their money out of the slave economy. One fifth of the elites of wealthy class in Britain, in the 19th century owed their money to transporting 3 million Africans across the waters.

Between 15 to 20 million Indians died of starvation in British induced famines.
And in fact In 1833 when slavery was abolished, a compensation of 20 million pounds was paid, not as reparations to those who had lost their lives or who had suffered, have been oppressed by slavery but to those who have lost their property.
