Overview
The Indian economy on the eve of independence in 1947 was characterized by poverty, unemployment, and a largely agrarian structure. British colonial policies had exploited resources and hindered industrial growth. This period saw a significant divide between the rich and the poor, with limited access to education and healthcare.
