About The Book: The Bankruptcy of India An Enquiry into The Administration of India Under the Crown (1878) by Henry Mayers Hyndman is a critical examination of British colonial rule in India. Hyndman argues that British policies under the Crown systematically exploited India’s resources, causing economic stagnation and widespread poverty. He exposes how British colonial interests drained India’s wealth while stifling its development. The book challenges the narrative of British benevolence, arguing instead that imperial rule severely harmed the Indian economy, society, and people. Hyndman advocates for India's self-governance and economic independence, critiquing the unjust system imposed by the British.
