India - Golden bird

India is a prosperous country called golden bird

India used to be a golden bird. We have been hearing this since childhood, due to which there were foreign invasions in India and India was a slave and they looted a lot in India. But today we will know why it was like this?

What is it that makes it a golden bird in India?

1. From 16th to 17th century India was the richest country in the world with 25% of its GDP.

2. India was the first country in export and it was called the country of merchants. There used to be a lot of farming here and Indian traders used to sell it abroad.

Product :-   Cotton, wheat rice, sugar, turmeric pepper, cinnamon, potatoes, indigo, sesame oil, Diamond, Sapphire, Silk, Parchment, Jewelery.

3.  India was famous for trade in the world, so there was a lot of demand from Indian businessmen and they used to go abroad and get gold by giving them their goods, due to which there is a lot of gold in India.

4.  India's GDP per capita income in the 16 century was $ 1305 which is equivalent to 92404 today.

1. UK           1100 dollars.
2. America  897 dollars 
3. China.       940 dollars 

5.    Peacock Throne ( Mayur sinhasan) 

    

The Peacock Throne was so expensive that two Taj Mahals were built.

Peacock Throne made of thousand kg, gold and gems

But the most beautiful was the Kohinoor mounted in it!

6. Kohinoor - The weight of Kohinoor is 21.6 grams.

And hearing this was the world's most expensive diamond

But today it is with the Queen of England who took this loot from India.

7. Gold in temples - Since ancient times, the temples of India were rich and there was so much gold in the Indian temples.

Due to this, there were most attacks in Indian temples.

According to the World Gold Council, most of the gold in the world is near Indian temples.

Like 22000 tons 

13 temples in India have more wealth than India's billionaires.

How did India become poor?

1. India was a rich country due to which India had to face attack from all four sides. Looted the temples of India

2.  Then when Britain ruled in India, East India Company started looting India.

The British took all the property from India to plunder Kohinoor. Took all the gold. Weaken India because of this

If we talk about the figures then it is said that the British took 45 trillion dollars from India at that time.

You can guess from this that when the British came to India the share of India was 25% of the world GDP, but when they went, it was only 2-3%.

But the joy is that today India is the fifth largest economy in the world.

And today India's economy is the one of fastest growing economy in the world.
