\nAmiya Kumar Bagchi, a prominent Indian economic historian, extensively researched the economic history of India under colonial rule. He is known for using data collected by Francis Buchanan-Hamilton during his surveys in the early 19th century to support the thesis of deindustrialization in India during that period.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe deindustrialization debate centers on whether India experienced a decline in its traditional manufacturing sector, particularly textiles, due to British colonial policies and competition from machine-made goods from Britain. Buchanan-Hamilton’s detailed surveys provided valuable micro-level data on various crafts and industries in specific regions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile other historians listed have also contributed significantly to Indian economic history, Amiya Bagchi’s work is particularly associated with using Buchanan-Hamilton’s data to argue for significant deindustrialization in certain sectors and regions of India in the 19th century. Tirthankar Roy offers a more nuanced view, arguing for regional and sectoral variations and some industrial growth alongside decline in traditional crafts. Irfan Habib is a renowned historian primarily known for his work on Mughal India’s agrarian economy.
