1/n #SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @iftikhargilani ji.

I’m surprised @thewire_in that ur journalist @khanumarfa RTd it.

Isn’t she aware that India’s share to global GDP is 8.073% currently & not 3%?

Now,read thread below where I break myth that “Mughal made us rich” https://twitter.com/iftikhargilani/status/1161157437363277825

2/n @iftikhargilani now let me give you & @khanumarfa a quick refresher course in “History of Indian Economy”.

The datas that I’ll put across would come from book:

“A Contours of the World Economy I-2030AD, Oxford University Press by A Maddison.”

Check this snippet as starter

3/n @iftikhargilani the above snippet is portrayal of attached table.

Now let me help you analyse it. India’s GDP share started to drop with Islamic Invasion (around 8th century AD).

The Chinese GDP share first time surpassed India drastically in 1600AD. Who was ruler then?

4/n The so called Akbar the great was the ruler of India when Chinese GDP share surpassed our in late 1590s.

Akbar & subsequent rulers did maximum extortions & collected massive taxes.

While they kept increasing GDP of Their empire GDP/capita kept reducing.

5/n @iftikhargilani the per capita growth rate went in negative for the first time during Mughal rule.

Check the snippets (1,2).

And GDP(Of Mughal Empire increased thoroughly, Snippet 3)

6/n The data above have clearly established following:
“While Mughals made their empire richer, they kept making Indian citizens poorer”.

The account of their “economic atrocities” can be read in detail in this thread. https://twitter.com/aabhas24/status/1151157636458401793?s=21

7/n so @iftikhargilani & @khanumarfa FYI Mughals looted Indians while living in India. Babur couldn’t afford to go back for he had lost “Samarkand” completely.

The reason why Mughals didn’t go back looting India is explained in detail in thread attached in 6/n.

N/n Pray @iftikhargilani & @khanumarfa now the onus lies on you both to respond should you have enough substance.

You both may call me “Sanghi”& other names but I don’t give a damn. I bow to none but true knowledge unlike peddling lies as u did. https://twitter.com/aabhas24/status/1161209848479924225?s=21
