All three individuals listed – Dadabhai Naoroji, G. Subramania Iyer, and R. C. Dutt – were prominent economic critics of British colonialism in India.
These figures belonged to the early nationalist phase and extensively analyzed and critiqued the economic impact of British rule. They argued that British policies were designed to extract wealth from India (the “drain of wealth”) and were responsible for India’s poverty and deindustrialization.
