What happened to India's wealth?

Indians.

It was great just because it was part of the British Empire.

>>2672908
Muslims wiped it out.

>>2672908
God stopped giving them free money for doing jack shit

Are you unable to read a simple chart?

>>2672908
Any gdp statistic before modern era is a meme

>>2672908
Anglos fucked it up good.

Also notice wealth spikes after India's entrance into the World Trade Organization in the 90s.

>>2672919
Didnt even see the fucking chart, if there is muslims involved then the answer is always its muslims fault.

>>2672908

Seemingly the effects of the mughal concuest were close to minimal from this chart.

But i guess it must be the muslims.

>>2672908
The rest of the world stopped shitting in the streets and immediately become relatively much more wealthy.

>>2672908
Who's ass did they pull the numbers for this graph from?

>>2672956
muslims wouldn't interfere with india's wealth creation because they wanted that sweet jizya dosh

Quite the greentext buddy, still got any evidence that everything went to shit because of the mooslem?

>>2672908
The date listed look a bit cherry picked but I will bite. Focusing on the first one I think there may be a issue for Italy plus France on that table, or rather failing to use the Roman Empire broke into core regions. Second Japan around 1 AD was very poor, underdeveloped, and underpopulated. It should be a even smaller part of the whole then US at the time. These two issue make me wonder about the whole table.


Moving forward to your question with if Indian just had a head start on development. Also there was a very real effort in European maritime trade to cut out the traditional middlemen of the silk road. This is not to say Indian produced nothing that was wanted but as a culture they did greatly profit from buying and selling to its neighbors things from the other side of its border.

The world stopped having the giant boner for spices and other commodities faced increased competition from plantations elsewhere.

>PPP in 1AD
This is purely opinion.

Can someone explain to me how India was ahead of China pre-1500? Wasn't China always more populous than India?

>>2674069
Not if you count Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka as well.

The British stole it.

Nothing. Other places became more productive.
The industrial revolution happened.
Life is not a zero sum game.

>>2672908
How on earth did they collect this data

>>2674069
"India" didn't exist in 1 AD.
In a way, neither did China, but at least it had a central government at that time.

It's just some meme graph by a brit foreignboo

Meanwhile in reality...

In the pre-modern era, "GDP" was almost entirely composed of agricultural production. Since India had a huge population already back then, they're share of the global "GDP" was also huge. That's it.

Not really. It was comparable to europe's.

>>2674787
Do one for other countries to compare or this is trash

>>2673071
This

>>2675290
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population_estimates

That chart only shows relative percentage of world wealth

India probably remained about the same wealth wise

When Europe industrialized their wealth grew so much that it took a great share of the world's wealth

Before the industrial revolution Europe was pretty poor

>>2672908
Anglos stole it all of course.
