Question

How did British policy in India fulfill the economic argument for establishing colonies?

Answer 1

British policies in India were economically profitable at the expense of the Indians.

Explanation:

The colonial policies were justified by the enormous economic potential of the colonies wherein the cost incurred of production was to be extracted from the colony by itself and then the profits of the enterprise was taken away by the colonizer to their native country.

Thus, the policies implemented in India made the colony deplete of resources and filled the pockets of the colonizer which was the primary goal of colonialism.
