Economic Exploitation and the Drain of Wealth during British “Raj"

[Russellirg]

I recently read a biography of an 18th century British politician and the name of Warren Hastings came up. I am close to 80 years of age and was educated in a period where expressions such as "the white mans burden were used and the only history of India that came up in class was about people such as Clive of India. Luckily my father was an antidote to such racist nonsense so I have always recognised the exploitive nature of the British rule of India. At 80 years of age I may have left it rather late but I am now looking for some reading matter on the Economic Exploitation and the Drain of Wealth during British “Raj”. Can anyone offer some advice as to a reading list?
