Public money looted by these moronic spending prostitues, is witness to legacy of extreme poverty in the sub contitent.
Some of these might have done some social service but at what cost ?
Thank goodness to the democracy, today atleast we have a hope that one day the corrupt politicians will be punished but this was never to happen with these Royals !!!

Go to wikipedia and check out timeline of economy of India.
It was only after the British invasion and the Industrial revolution where India was used as a source of raw materials and there was no development that India's GDP went down. India missed out on 200 years of Industrial growth.
From Wikipedia :
1600 India's income of £17.5 million (under Akbar's Mughal Empire, pop approx. 150 million people) was greater than the entire treasury of Great Britain in 1800, which totalled £16 million.
1700 India's economy had a 24.4% share of world income, the largest in the world. "

1820 China was the world's largest economy followed by the UK and India. Industrial revolution in the UK catapulted the nation to the top league of Europe for the first time ever. During this period, British foreign and economic policies began treating India as an unequal partner for the first time.
1850 The gross domestic product of India in 1850 was estimated at about 40 per cent that of China. British cotton exports reach 30 per cent of the Indian market by 1850.
1868 First estimation of India's national income by Dadabhai Naoroji
1870 India's economy had a 12.2% share of world income under the British Empire.
1913 India's economy had a 7.6% share of world income under the British Empire.

India needs more gullible morons like you to lap up more western propaganda. Of course, the British did nothing but help India during its 200 years of pillaging and looting India and before that India was poor in any case. I pity you.

your own figures show that earlier India was well to do and steadily declined under Brits. Brits were the real culprits. Topic starter is correct here. India had no growth in that period.

non sense, India was rich before Brits arrived. They plundered all our wealth. By 1950 we were one of the poorest country. This poverty wasn't created in independent India. It was inherited from British Raj. Supporting British rule is fashion nowadays but learn history correctly.

Many students wash dishes to pay for studies in other countries. You have Indian students in US who work as waiters during the day and study at nite or vice versa. Only students in India think its below their dignity to work and earn for studies (I am referring to the rich spoiled ones).
