Chapter 2
Western Economic Theory & colonial rule.
India had a treasure of knowledge of its own, historically, evolved during the time when the kings ruled.
During the thousand two hundred years of rule by rule invaders have planted their theories, processes and systems into their colonies to facilitate:
(1) Stashing wealth from their colonies to their society.
(2) Creating wealth from the natural resources stash it to their society.
(3) Kept the common man staved so that they are deprived of their ability to “Learning & Thinking”.
This will ensure that the common man remain powerless mute spectator.
Invaders left
In most societies which were colonied for centuries, the invaders have left. But they left behind every process that they used to rob the society that they conquered.
The leaders of such freed society, acquired every governance processes, the law and justice systems that the invaders left behind. Worst still, their mind- set of the Invaders, too
Indian Penal Code, (IPC) is one-to-one match to Irish Penal Code. Perhaps, penal codes is use in every other society that was colonized by British must match with IPC letter to letter.
Even after several decades of self-rule, our governance processes and laws have not been amended to match any of the developed countries. The changes to these invader’s gift are cursory and too few.
That is the reason that the people in societies that were once colonized continues to have:
(1) High levels of poverty
(2) Disparity among Elite and common man before the law & justice, that was the hall mark of colony rule.
(3) The Leaders & elite belive that the common man is eligible for Wages and not a share of nation’s wealth.
(4) Eternal flow of wealth from the society both legally and illegally.
