- He claimed that the drain of wealth and capital from the country which started after 1757 was responsible for absence of development in India.
- Drain was done through trade, industry and finance
- Two elements of the drain
- That arising from the remittances by European officials of their savings, and fro their expenditure in England
- Arising from remittance by non-official Europeans
- India has to export much more than she imported to meet the requirements of the economic drain
- In 1880 it amounted to 4.14% of India’s national income
