Original Note:
This cites a single paper by Indian economist Utsa Patnaik not backed by economic research. Britain profited off of its governance of India but other research indicates that $45 trillion would be greater than the sum GDP of India during the raj. A good discussion of this https://www.quora.com/Did-Britain-really-steal-45-trillion-from-India-while-it-was-a-colony
