Watch Hindutva screech like the filthy rabid mongrels they are: "we don't care about EU opinion, blah blah blah Indian internal matter, napak sajish EU ka, India must ban all imports from EU...."
Where is this so called independent economic clout that hinduland apparently wields like some flaming saffron trident cutting swathes across entire nations?
Of all the entities and nation states that have launched tirades against Indian "internal matters", these supposed economic masters have only been able to actually take action against humble Malaysia.
Modern India will always dream of being as economically strong as it was when the Mughals ruled it.
"The Indian economy was large and prosperous under the Mughal Empire.
[65] During the Mughal era, the
gross domestic product (GDP) of India in 1600 was estimated at about 22% of the
world economy, the second largest in the world, behind only
Ming China but larger than Europe. By 1700, the GDP of Mughal India had risen to 24% of the world economy, the largest in the world, larger than both
Qing China and Western Europe.
[66] Mughal India was the world leader in manufacturing,
[27] producing about 25% of the world's industrial output up until the 18th century.
[28] India's GDP growth increased under the Mughal Empire, with India's GDP having a faster growth rate during the Mughal era than in the 1,500 years prior to the Mughal era.
[66] Mughal India's economy has been described as a form of
proto-industrialization, like that of 18th-century Western Europe prior to the
Industrial Revolution.
[67]
The Mughals were responsible for building an extensive road system, creating a uniform currency, and the unification of the country.
[8]:185–204 The empire had an extensive road network, which was vital to the economic infrastructure, built by a
public worksdepartment set up by the Mughals which designed, constructed and maintained roads linking towns and cities across the empire, making trade easier to conduct.
[65]
The main base of the empire's collective wealth was agricultural taxes, instituted by the third Mughal emperor, Akbar.
[23][24] These taxes, which amounted to well over half the output of a peasant cultivator,
[25] were paid in the well-regulated silver currency,
[21] and caused peasants and artisans to enter larger markets.
[26] "
Do note my pdf friends that this excerpt is from indocentric Wikipedia but even they can't resist the harsh truth that Mughal India was India's economic golden age (though the British did quite well with India too).
And here we are in 2020, Indian "supapowa" dawn, and they can just about manage to bully a 90 year old guy over his Palm oil exports.
The funniest thing is Modi thinks Mughal India was some kind of "dark age". ...Yes Mr Modi, mughalistan kept Brahmin wet dreams down and under control - must have been awful for you.
