The Bombay Plan And Its Predecessor Attempts

The aim of the plan was to avoid having to fight two was at the same

In the administration system, most of the positions were held by the British officials and Indians were given subordinate positions. Analysing the situation, Dadabhai came up with policies for development or betterment of which the first one was by encouraging the employment of Indians in the field of administration both in public as well as private companies. The idea behind this policy could be that by Indianising administration the wealth and wisdom can rise and can be maintained. He also mentioned that the government now needs to reduce its expenditure and Naoroji knew the fact that most of these expense was for the military which was not serving India but Britain at the expense borne by India. This also leads to pointing on to the taxation policy of the British. Tax payment set for India was really high. In Britain it was 8% whereas in India it was 15% and it was difficult for the rural population to pay a huge

The Germans thought that they might have to go to war with Russia. If this would happen/occur, France would most likely join Russia, considering that she was Russia’s ally. This would mean that Germany would have to fight a two front war, which would be a nightmare.The Schlieffen Plan was a plan to avoid a war on two fronts against Russia and France. The plan itself started in 1905 as a thought experiment, but the planning started before the 1900s(1892). The Schlieffen Plan started the Franco-Russian alliance. The obvious solution to the plan was to quickly beat one country, then focus against the other one. But which country should/did they attack first?

As the British took control of India, it found ways to make India better and with its help, soon enough, India was placed as the second best economy under the British economy (British 12). India’s economy and trade had improved tremendously after the British took over because there was more money coming into India to cause such a rise in its economy. The British also built railroads which created more ease when transporting goods and trading throughout India. The railroads allowed supplies and goods to be exported quickly, bringing it to the ports. Goods that would usually take months to be traded with others now only took a few days with the installment of railroads (Fisher 348). The railroads in India impacted everyone not just the merchants and businessmen in India. But, it was especially beneficial for them because now they could make deals and have goods be transported to them without a long wait. Nevertheless it seem to be that with these new installments India could run smoothly but eventually a problem came along the way. The British did not allow Indians to make their own goods, they banned homemade crafts and since most of India was out of work, the Indians turned to the fields. Work was hard and there were certain goods they needed like clothes so they had to buy it from the British since they could no longer make it themselves from the cotton they collected. Craftsmen became farmers to pay for goods and live a stable life (Bose 53). The British had wanted to get rid of the competition for goods so they decided they want to prevent the Indians from making their own goods. That way if the Indians needed something they can only get it from the British (Bose 53). This led to economic downfall for the Indians because while they were not doing great before the British came, their economy was pretty

The Schlieffen Plan was devised by Count Alfred von Schlieffen, the Chief of the General Staff in the German army in 1905. There were a number of different aspects to the Schlieffen Plan, and all were aimed at defeating France as quickly as possible, preferably in under 6 weeks. The Germans believed this was possible because they had defeated France in Alsace and Lorraine in the 1871. The main aim of the Schlieffen Plan was to knock out and capture France and then attack Russia in order to avoid fighting a war on two fronts at the same time.

Stalin began his replacement of the NEP with the first of the Five Year Plans. The First Five Year Plan concentrated on heavy industry, such as coal, iron, steel, oil, and machine production in order to improve the nation’s industrialization by 300% (Marshi). Also, to insure that sufficient electricity is maintained, electricity production was planned to increase by 600% (Marshi). After the First Five Year Plan failed, the Second Five Year Plan was put into place. Its intention was to create a fully socialist economy with the disappearance of money within 1933-1937 (Marshi). The Second Plan was mainly built upon the achievements of the First Plan, ultimately realizing the successes of the First Plan. While the Second Five Year Plan did not fail, Stalin still set even higher goals initiating the Third Five Year Plan which lasted up until 1941. The Third Five Year Plan was focused on huge increases of production, and completing the process the first two plans laid the foundation for, enabling the USSR to begin the transition to communism (Oxbridge). Stalin’s propensity to increase production was also found in his want to increase agricultural productivity, evidenced by collectivization. Collectivization was put into place in order to finance the industrial development of the USSR as it could not do this with the old fashioned methods of strip farming, which used antiquated technology (Rudbeck).

For approximately 200 years, Great Britain had ruled over the Indian subcontinent. After Robert Clive’s forces won the Battle of Plassey, the East India Company had gained some power in 1757 (Ray). Before the period of British rule known as the Raj, India’s economy had been stable for some centuries. The Company had soon taken advantage of the strong framework in place, monopolizing industry and taking political control as well. India’s already large and growing population provided cheap labor for a subsistence economy installed within the nation that did not encourage industrial development. Because everything could be imported so cheaply from India without duty, India’s existing industries had no protection from British competition

WWII planes have some differences, how much better then some WWII planes are, how rare they are starting to get. Did you know that there was over 400 different kinds of planes. There were different kinds of planes like bommer planes,fighter planes. There were 4 different categories of planes. Half of them were prototypes.

This chapter gives the meaning of postcolonialism and post-colonialism. It introduces the partition of India in order to make a clear understanding about the subcontinent as independent state and how their leaders struggled to get freedom and independence as post-colonial India. It also displays the main changes and strategies adopted by the Indian constitution in the economic field to challenge the agricultural difficulties.

The Five Year Plan can be seen as the leading government policy in promoting industrial development. Set up in 1928 - 32 its goal was to propel the USSR into becoming a modernised country in achieving the best industrial

The colonization of India and the immense transfer of wealth that moved from the latter to Britain were vital to the success of the British Empire. In fact, the Viceroy of British India in 1894 called India “the pivot of our Empire …” I examine the effects of the Industrial Revolution on the subcontinent. Besides highlighting the fact that without cheap labor and raw materials from India, the modernization of Britain during this era would have been highly unlikely, I will show how colonial policy led to the privation and death of millions of natives. I conclude that while India undoubtedly benefited from British colonial rule, the negatives for the subject population far outweighed the positives.

The British Raj had a huge significant impact from 1857-1947 which resulted in zero growth and created no opportunities for employment. India's share of the world income went from 27% in 1700 AD to 3% in 1950 (History of Indian Economy, Online; 12/8/17). Agriculture were produced for cash crop as suppose to food crops, causing more than 30 million lives due to starvation. In 1793, the British Governor-General Lord Cornwallis announced that India will undertake a land system called Zamindari, which peasants lost the rights of ownerships of their land (Sharma, Online; 20/8/17). Furthermore, the British East India Company introduced another land system called Ryotwari that was evolve within North-Eastern and North-Western that peasants weren’t and had to be responsible for paying up to 50% of land revenues (Encyclopaedia, Online; 13/8/17). This caused a significant

The main notable development that the British Empire brought to India during their colonisation was the railways, otherwise known as “Railroads of the Raj”. First proposed in 1846 by Thomas Williamson, the revenue commissioner of Bombay, who stated that “Commercially, it would be best for the cotton of Berar” while also allowing an “immediate direction of the military stations” (Williamson, 1846). Through this it is clear that the main objective for the railways was for development commercially and for quicker and faster links to and for the military. In 1850 the production began and by “1900 there was over 24,000 miles of railway tracks that had been laid” (Kerr 1997). The development of the railways gave the impression that it was going to largely benefit India, and mainly India’s economy, by increasing trade and transportation, almost bringing India into an age of an Industrial Revolution, just as the railways had done for Britain in the 1800’s. However, this particular introduction made by the British to India proved detrimental to their economy. “The railway project was enormous and was funded entirely by British private investment capitals” (Satya 2008). These private companies operated their railway lines with a “guaranteed 5% return on their investment which was assured by the Indian revenues of the empire” (Satya 2008). This was one of the biggest reasons why the railways caused a decline in India’s economy. This guarantee system promised that even if the companies

The Indian subcontinent experienced a huge shift in the economical and social conditions with the advent of the first Mughal emperor, Babar. Babar introduced reforms of which the natives were not used to. His successors continued the same policies, with each implementing his own will. This report is targeted on the social and economical reforms each of the great Mughal brought. Each period is unique in its own sense.

The wide income gap in Indian society has been the main effect of industrialization and can be traced back to the times of British colonialism. Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, stated that India was wealthy until the eighteenth century and the areas longest under British rule were now the poorest, mainly agriculture (Robb, 2). The British implemented a cash-crop system in the village farms and took out food crops that millions of families relied in for nourishment. Under this system, the village system crumbled and these areas were ones that were converted into crowded slums due to the outward expansion of industrializing cities. The British rule overall hindered India’s development by superimposing a
