The theory of economic drain of India during British period was propounded by

  • A.M. K. Gandhi
  • B.Dadabhai Naoroji
  • C.Jawaharlal Nehru
  • D.R. C. Dutta

Answer: B

Correct answer: Dadabhai Naoroji

Dadabhai Naoroji set out the drain theory in Poverty and Un-British Rule in India (1901): a substantial part of India’s wealth was transferred to Britain each year - as home charges, salaries and pensions, and profits - without any equivalent return, and that unrequited transfer was the cause of Indian poverty. R. C. Dutt developed the argument, but Naoroji originated it.
