India's GDP increased under British occupation, it just shifted to Britain. Britain stopped warring tribes warring with each other, research the way the Prince's fought amongst themselves. Yes, we sold opium in exchange for tea in China. The Chinese leaders would only sell tea for silver and were only allowed to opium with silver. This was enforced by their Emperor. As soon as we got the tea plants out of China and grown in India we were able to buy with normal currency. People should really research a subject before they post and rely on superficial knowledge.
