Indias underdevelopment duringBritish period
National Income estimates
No data-roughly 340 Rs crores in 1867-68
Nature and extent of poverty
No statistical information-Dadabhai Naoroji afterBritish rule India suffered seriously and sinking inpoverty.-Indian Natives were worse than Americanslaves. British people lived luxurious life.

Occupational Distribution of Population
Data not clearly available for last 70 yrs of British.-roughly61% in 1881-73 % in 1921
Traditional Agriculture
1757-1947 over 190 yrs there was hardly any change infarm technology-commercialization of agriculture hardlyhelped-British was not ignorance of importance ofirrigation but they didnt.
Weak Industrial Structure
Crafts were fairly developed pre-British period. Afterdecline of handicrafts people shifted to agriculture-modern industries not began in mid-19thcentury. In the
first half of 20th
century some industries were establishedand wave of industrialization never came in India.

State Policies & EconomicUnderdevelopment
Incident of land taxes, land tenure & stagnation in agriculture
1. Zamindari system by Cornwallis in 1793-The zamindar was considered a lord, and would collect alltaxes on his lands and then hand over the collected taxes tothe British authorities (keeping a portion for himself). Noownership of lands-no harm to state & farmers-zamindarsenjoyed
1. Ryotwari system-temporary -land settlement (Madras,Bombay, and Assam)
These revenues included undifferentiated land taxes andrents, collected simultaneously. Where the land revenue wasimposed directly on the ryots -- the individual cultivators
who actually worked the land
3. Mahalwari system-small part of the country
This was the system in North India. There was zamindarisystem in Northern India. Their land and crops wereinspected, their rights and customs were observed and then
Taxes were charged. "Mahal" meant a village. So, this systembecame to be known as Mahalwari System.

2. Knowledge: literacy, primary, secondary & territoryratios

India constitutes nearly 17 percent of the worldspopulation, but even in PPP terms its GDP share is only5 percent.
In all good things (eg, agricultural production, GDP,patents, tourists, FDI) Indias share is at least one-sixthof the worlds total.

Indias Share in World GDP
Conversely, in bad things, India has a muchsmaller share, India, can not feel a sense ofaccomplishment. There is therefore no room forcomplacency.
India must continue to be outward oriented, andcultivate a mindset that absorbs ideas and goodpractices from all parts of the globe an applythem to meet Indias challenges.
Yashend Huang (2008) has argues that if Indiacan grow, then no other poor country must facea Faustian(gain without cost) choice betweengrowth and democracy

Demographic Trends
Asia is set to experience rapid ageing in the 21stcentury. China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines,Singapore and Thailand will have nearly as many elderlyby 2050 as in the world in 2005.
Asia in 2050 will account for nearly three-fifths of theworldspopulation.

Demographic Trends
The rapid ageing of Asia is a result of reduction in fertilityrates and increased life expectancy at birth and at age 65.By 2045-50, the above countries will have Total FertilityRate (TFR) below the replacement rate as compared to onlyfour in 2005-10.
Replacement fertility rate is the total fertility rate at whichnewborn girls would have an average of exactly onedaughter over their lifetimes. That is, women have justenough female babies to replace themselves (or,equivalently, adults have just enough total babies to replacethemselves.
As is well known, increased longevity raises social securitycosts disproportionately. Uncertainty about longevity trends(example, due to uncertain impact of medical technology) isincreasing the complexity of designing pension programs.

External Sector Data
In 2007, Indias total external trade in goods andservices was USD 528 billion (47.9% of GDP)
This is one of the important indicators of Indiasrapidly integration with the world economy.
India plans to achieve a target of USD 1000 billionbefore 2015 in its external trade. This will be ahuge challenge in view of the current global crisis.
The others are inward Foreign Direct Investment (
$32.3 billion in 2007-08), and remittances (~$ 30billion in 2007)
Indias outward investment is also growing.
