India was the 2nd richest...

Yes, I am as suprised as you are..If you did not know that India was the 2nd richest country in the world..Even the whole of Europe was not as richer. But as the East India Company entered India through the 1700s, they looted us..made us poorer..and today here we stand..as one of the poorest countries..with so many people dying of hunger..Illiterate..And so many others..

But..we are wielding power ..again..yes..we have to do that..and all of us have a great role to play in this..develop the nation..to be the richest in the world..so that we can provide..the things..to all..
