Abstract
This essay will focus on whether or not dominant presence of Britain in India during the eighteenth century had an effect on its economy during same time period. It specifically tries to connect the colonialism of the British in India and contribution of this to Britain‟s economic development in the eighteenth century to find out to what extent British colonialism in India contributed to Britain‟s economic development in the eighteenth century. It has used the rise of “Second British Empire” 1783-1815 and the start of the Industrial Revolution as a point of reference in order to validate the hypothesis that British colonialism in India that started by the beginning of the seventeenth century and continued for over two centuries did have the profound impact on Britain‟s economic development specifically at the time period that covers first half of the eighteenth century. Eighteenth century can be referred to as the time period during which Britain established its dominance among other Western nations as the first country to be industrialized. Thus Britain‟s transformation into one of the most advanced and successful economies in the world could be attributed to start of the industrial revolution. This paper has been organised into four main sections. In first section, the outline of the essay is provided relevant with my research question. The first section is the introduction part and is followed by the main body of text that has been divided into two sections. The second section have subsections as, economy of Britain in the seventeenth century, meaning of colonialism and the nature of British colonialism in India and phases of British colonialism in India. The third section describes the significance of industrial revolution for economic rise of British Empire in the eighteenth century. My paper ends with the fourth section as conclusion part.
