#1. Who wrote it, “If the producers are crippled, the farmers are burdened with taxes and a huge amount of the revenue is sent out of the country, then any country in the world will become permanently poor and will have to face famine again and again.”

Explanation:

Ramesh Chandra Dutt was a prominent Indian civil servant, economic historian, and nationalist writer during the British Raj. He is best known for his work on the economic history of India, where he systematically analyzed the impact of British rule on the Indian economy.

The quote highlights a key argument in Dutt’s analysis of the drain of wealth from India. He argued that the heavy taxation imposed on Indian farmers, coupled with the transfer of revenue to Britain, crippled the agricultural sector and led to recurring famines.

Other options:

  • Dadabhai Naoroji: While Naoroji also extensively wrote about the drain of wealth, his focus was more on the overall drain through various mechanisms like home charges, remittances, and exploitation of resources. He didn’t specifically emphasize the impact of taxation on farmers as the primary cause of famines.
  • Gopal Krishna Gokhale: Gokhale was a moderate nationalist leader who focused on social and political reforms within the existing system. While he acknowledged the economic problems caused by British rule, his primary concern was not the economic drain.
  • Anand Mohan Bose: Bose was a prominent nationalist leader and educationist. His work primarily focused on education, social reform, and political activism. He did not write extensively on economic issues.
